SSHKitCore

SSHKitCore is an Objective-C wrapper for libssh.

Prerequisites

Libssh requires CMake for building, you can install CMake through Homebrew:

# Install homebrew if if you hadn't already installed it
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

# Install CMake through Homebrew
brew update && brew install CMake

Build

1. Add SSHKitCore project to your workspace or project
2. Add SSHKitCore to your workspace or project dependencies and linking libraries
3. You will get a linkage error message when you build for the first time:

ld: library not found for -lssh_threads
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

1. The reason for the error is because libssh.xcodeproj wasn't created untill first build finished. So just close and reopen your workspace or project, the error message should disappear if you build again

Troubleshooting

The generated libssh.xcodeproj does not support build location automatic realocate, so then building of libssh.xcodeproj is primary drove by SSHKitCore/Makefile

If your libssh.xcodeproj was corrupted, or encounter other libssh compilation error, you can execute make clean && make command to force a fresh libssh.xcodeproj generating.

Note

SSHKitCore/Makefile also downloads a pre-built openssl to SSHKitCore/openssl directory automatically.

Execute make help will reveal all targets and their help texts.
