Hello there,
I'm just starting out getting deeper into a "curly bracket" Language. So I'm a fairly
unexperienced in debugging gcc/linker messages. Sadly this is what I get trying to
compile even an libssh2 sample.
I'm mostly coding in Python, from small scripts up to more complex, Object Oriented
stuff. For the smaller scripts I wrote a convenience wrapper around the python lib
Paramiko which is a library around ssh and the likes. Being able to execute commands
via ssh and parse the results is at the core of the most scripts I write. So I thought this
to be a good starting point for learning C/ Objective-C. Asking the Interwebs I found
libssh2 to be the proper library for this. However, after grabbing the latest tar-ball and compiling
it with the three-step:
./configure
(Here the summary of configure)
configure: summary of build options:
version: 1.4.2
Host type: x86_64-apple-darwin11.4.0
Install prefix: /usr/local
Compiler: gcc
Compiler flags: -DLIBSSH2_DARWIN
Library types: Shared=yes, Static=yes
Crypto library: openssl: yes (AES-CTR: no) libgcrypt: no
Debug build: no
Build examples: yes
Path to sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd (only for self-tests)
libz compression: yes
make
make install
I find myself stuck with a linker error that I just cannot solve. I "googled" a lot and found others with
similar, yet not the same problem. And most of the time the answer/solution was a bit too much for
me. Yet I have a suspicion that the solution is much simpler than I expect. As it seems for to be a
problem with the arch of the host. My Mac is a x86_64 machine and configure figured that one out
all right. But after I assembled a test programm, that was not complete but at a point where I could
try to build it, I got errors. So I decided to try and build an example that was provided (and already build)
with the tar-ball. But I get the same errors:

So after a very long text I'm still stuck with: ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 Another hint, Xcode yields also something about the linker. Unfortunately I'm writing this email on another mac as where I encountered the problem first. ATM I'm unable to make Xcode on this machine find libssh2.h. But that is a problem to ignore. So the question of the day, does anybody know what's wrong here? Wht do I need to change to be able to even build the samples provided?
