in reply to openssh build with Strawberry Perl provided gcc

I haven't built openssh with the Strawberry provided MinGW gcc compiler, but I have built many other Win32 C / C++ projects with it.

It does build standalone Win32 executables, i.e., they don't rely on Cygwin. So your project will need to have the appropriate Windows headers / libraries. Stuff like this:

#ifndef WIN32 #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <netdb.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #else #include <winsock2.h> #include <ws2tcpip.h> #endif

And then link to Windows libraries like libws2_32.a (-lws2_32) ...
