libssh2 compile issue

PoleStar · 12-14-2012, 01:42 PM

Took this code from libssh2 project website.

Code:

[me@horse ssh2]$ cat test.c 
#include<stdio.h>
#include <libssh2.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <ctype.h>

static int waitsocket(int socket_fd, LIBSSH2_SESSION *session)
{
    struct timeval timeout;
    int rc;
    fd_set fd;
    fd_set *writefd = NULL;
    fd_set *readfd = NULL;
    int dir;
 
    timeout.tv_sec = 10;
    timeout.tv_usec = 0;
 
    FD_ZERO(&fd);
 
    FD_SET(socket_fd, &fd);
 
    /* now make sure we wait in the correct direction */ 
    dir = libssh2_session_block_directions(session);

 
    if(dir & LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_INBOUND)
        readfd = &fd;
 
    if(dir & LIBSSH2_SESSION_BLOCK_OUTBOUND)
        writefd = &fd;
 
    rc = select(socket_fd + 1, readfd, writefd, NULL, &timeout);
 
    return rc;
}


main(){
	printf ("at the end \n");

}

	Code:
	
Compiling it bring the error as "libssh2_session_block_direction"
does not exist.

[me@horse ssh2]$ gcc -o test test.c 
/tmp/ccwC6mej.o: In function `waitsocket':
test.c:(.text+0x91): undefined reference to `libssh2_session_block_directions'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[me@horse ssh2]$

But it does exist in the header file libssh2.h

Code:

[me@horse ssh2]$ grep -i2  libssh2_session_block_directions /usr/include/libssh2.h 
                                           int *errmsg_len, int want_buf);
LIBSSH2_API int libssh2_session_last_errno(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session);
LIBSSH2_API int libssh2_session_block_directions(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session);

LIBSSH2_API int libssh2_session_flag(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session, int flag,
[me@horse ssh2]$

My versions of ssh and co.

Code:

[me@horse ssh2]$ rpm -aq | grep ssh
libssh2-1.2.7-4.fc16.i686

$ rpm -ql libssh2-devel
/usr/include/libssh2.h
/usr/include/libssh2_publickey.h
/usr/include/libssh2_sftp.h
etc.

If you have no /usr/include/libssh2.h, please reinstall :

# yum install --reinstall libssh2-devel

.

A C library generally provides 2 things: the declarations (in the header files) and the definitions (in the library file, .a for static libraries, .so for shared libraries). To tell the linker to use the library file you use -lfoo which tells the linker to look for libfoo.a or libfoo.so, in your case to get libssh2.so you pass -lssh2:

Code:

gcc -o test  test.c -lssh2
