I have a working script using Net::SSH2-0.53 that's hunky-dorey in Komodo but when wrapped with PerlApp it can't open a connection. As I understand from ActiveState, the underlying reason is that the .exe uses Windows (8.1) dynamic loading for any dependent libraries and what I really need to do is recompile Net-SSH2. Great.

I have been going mental compiling. I have followed the procedure laid out in the module for windows. I have built zlib-1.2.8, openssl-1.0.1l, and finally libssh2-1.4.3 successfully but when I run perl Mahefile.PL and dmake, I run into problems (below). Any suggestions will be highly valued.

The libssh2 library is required by this module.  If you don't have it,
+ you can
download it from http://www.libssh2.org; you may also need OpenSSL, wh
+ich can
be obtained from http://www.openssl.org , or libgcrypt, which can be o
+btained
from http://www.gnupg.org .

Debian:   sudo aptitude install libssh2-1-dev
OpenSUSE: sudo zypper in libssh2-1 libssh2-devel

You can pass your libssh2 lib and include dirs (and extra link args) o
+n the
command line. E.g.:

    perl Makefile.PL lib=$HOME/libssh2/lib inc=$HOME/libssh2/include \
        ldargs="-lz"

These can also be set through the LIBSSH2_LIB/LIBSSH2_INCLUDE/LIBSSH2_
+LDARGS
environment variables.

To build with libgcrypt instead of OpenSSL, pass 'gcrypt' as a paramet
+er to
Makefile.PL, e.g.:

    perl Makefile.PL gcrypt

If you want to build on Windows, see the file BUILDING.WIN32 in the
distribution.
