This is libssh2, packaged for Zig.
First, update your build.zig.zon:
# Initialize a `zig build` project if you haven't already
zig init
zig fetch --save git+https://github.com/allyourcodebase/libssh2.git#libssh2-1.11.1
You can then import libssh2 in your build.zig with:
const libssh2_dependency = b.dependency("libssh2", .{ .target = target, .optimize = optimize, }); your_exe.root_module.linkLibrary(libssh2_dependency.artifact("ssh2"));
libssh2 offers a few options which you can control like so:
const libssh2_dependency = b.dependency("libssh2", .{ .target = target, .optimize = optimize, .zlib = true, // links to zlib for payload compression if enabled (default=true) .strip = true, // Strip debug information (default=false) .linkage = .static, // Whether to link statically or dynamically (default=static) .@"crypto-backend" = .auto, // auto will to default to wincng on windows, openssl everywhere else. (default=auto) .@"link-system-crypto-backend" = true, // If enabled will link against system libraries (default=true) });
