Re: vcpkg libssh 0.8.x version isn't available

Thing is, I don't build libssh on linux, only use distro packages. Could
you explain, why there is no precompiled version of libssh available on
windows? That would make things a lot easier. I feel there is too much
complexity involved with building library on your own, especially for
people not familiar with cmake. Also instructions are somehow vogue and
scattered across git repository and mailing archive.
