Libssh2Prebuild

Libssh2 with OpenSSL crypto backend prebuilt library for Apple platforms. Apple Silicon supported.

Supported platforms and architectures

• Xcode 15

Usage

Add line to you package.swift dependencies:

.package(name: "CSSH", url: "https://github.com/DimaRU/Libssh2Prebuild.git", from: "1.9.0")

Right now used with the Shout library: https://github.com/DimaRU/Shout
Note: Script must be used with xczip which results in stable archive checksum (it is not changed from build to build).

Xcode 12 bug note!

Xcode 12 now has a bug that causes static library .a files to be copied into the app bundle. Add Run Script to your Xcode project with this commands:

# Remove static libs
ls -1 ${CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH}/Contents/Frameworks/*.a
rm -f ${CODESIGNING_FOLDER_PATH}/Contents/Frameworks/*.a

Build your own repo from source

Required at least Xcode 12.2, xczip and github cli. Intended to use with github.

1. Install xczip: brew install DimaRU/formulae/xczip
2. Install gh: brew install gh
3. Authorize gh: gh auth
4. Fork and clone this repo
5. Run ./script/build-xcframework.sh libssh_tag libssl_tag date_mark commit
   For example: ./script/build-xcframework.sh 1.11.0 OpenSSL_1_1_1u "2023-05-30 15:58:00 +0000" commit
