Thank you for working on this!
I got libssh2 successfully built for Fedora using CMake and your patchset:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libssh2.git/commit/?id=213e752a
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=8321846
I have encountered a few minor issues:
- The shared library is no longer versioned as it used to be. I have
hard-coded the version into src/CMakeLists.txt for now:
--- a/src/CMakeLists.txt
+++ b/src/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -186,7 +186,9 @@ endif()
add_library(libssh2 ${SOURCES})
# we want it to be called libssh2 on all platforms
-set_target_properties(libssh2 PROPERTIES PREFIX "")
+set_target_properties(libssh2 PROPERTIES PREFIX ""
+ SOVERSION 1
+ VERSION 1.0.1)
target_compile_definitions(libssh2 PRIVATE ${PRIVATE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS})
target_include_directories(libssh2
- The file libssh2.pc is no longer generated with CMake. Is there any plan
to restore this functionality?
- Man pages are not installed by CMake.
- Before it goes to master, it would be good to merge some commits to make
the history easier to follow. Namely the unnecessary renames of libssh2.h
to libssh2.h.in and vice versa make the patchset difficult to apply on the
latest upstream release.
