wolfssh/ide/winvs

VisualStudio solution for wolfSSH

The solution file, wolfssh.sln, facilitates bulding wolfSSH and its example and test programs. The solution provides both Debug and Release builds of Static and Dynamic 32- or 64-bit libraries. The file user_settings.h should be used in the wolfSSL build to configure it.

This project assumes that the wolfSSH and wolfSSL source directories are installed side-by-side and do not have the version number in their names:

Projects\
    wolfssh\
    wolfssl\

User Macros

The solution is using user macros to indicate the location of the wolfSSL library and headers. All paths are set to the default build destinations in the wolfssl64 solution. The user macro wolfCryptDir is used as the base path for finding the libraries. It is initially set to ..\..\..\..\wolfssl. And then, for example, the additional include directories value for the API test project is set to $(wolfCryptDir).

The wolfCryptDir path must be relative to the project files, which are all one directory down

wolfssh/wolfssh.vcxproj
unit-test/unit-test.vcxproj

etc. The other user macros are the directories where the wolfSSL libraries for the different builds may be found. So the user macro wolfCryptDllRelease64 is initially set to

$(wolfCryptDir)\x64\DLL Release

This value is used in the debugging environment for the echoserver's 64-bit DLL Release build is set to

PATH=$(wolfCryptDllRelease64);%PATH%

When you run the echoserver from the debugger, it finds the wolfSSL DLL in that directory.
