Re: vcpkg libssh 0.8.x version isn't available

Hi Franciszek,

as far as I understand vcpkg, its packages are maintained by Microsoft
and they rely on users to provide pull requests or create tickets asking
for integration. The files for libssh are here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg/tree/master/ports/libssh

Since you are already building on Linux, you could cross-compile your
desired version of libssh for Windows using MingW GCC. I use these cmake
options to enable cross-compilation:

(32 bit)
> "-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-m32 -march=i686 -mtune=generic" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc

(64 bit)
> "-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING=-m64 -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Windows -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc

Regards,
Tilo Eckert
