Btw, it's just a warning. Also, you ido nclude windows.h:

in libssh2_priv.h (line 47):

#include <windows.h>

later line 95:

#include "libssh2.h"

(which includes winsock2.h)

so a fix would be (line 47):

#ifndef WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
# define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#endif
#include <windows.h>
#undef WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

(note that I added a test on WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN because some stupid public
headers define it, but do not undef it. I experienced that)
