Ok, that's fine but why are you getting curl.h errors when compiling
libssh2? Curl uses libssh2, not the other way round.

My advice is to ignore the included VC projects and make your own
because it's really easy on Windows. Here's the guide I've sent
around this list a few times now:

Using Visual Studio:
- Shove all the .c files in libssh2/src into an empty Win32 C++ (DLL
or Static Library) project except libgcrypt.c/openssl.c of which you
only pick the one appropriate to your crypto library.
- Add your OpenSSL or libgcrypt include directory to the project include path
- Add libssh2/include to the project include path
- Add libssh2/win32 to the project include path
- Add the appropriate crypto libraries to the project Additonal Libraries list
- Build
- Job done

Using MinGW:
I'm not confident enough to list the exact steps for this but its
basically a matter of adding the same .c files to a Makefile source
list and instructing gcc to make a DLL or static library from them.
Use Google to find the flags you need to add for those two
alternatives.

Alternatively, Guenter advised:

there's a NMakefile available too which should work with all MSVC
versions; edit .\win32\config.mk and setup the paths to OpenSSL and
Zlib, then in the root: nmake

Or use the included mingw makefile:

set OPENSSL_PATH=...
if you want Zlib support:
set WITH_ZLIB=1
set ZLIB_PATH=...
in ./win32 folder: mingw32-make
