I want to use libssh for a uni project but I need to gauge how hard it is to set up

[devonrevenge]

I have a C++ module and next year I will be expected to produce a final project loosely containing elements of all other modules I am choosing, I want to know how difficult it would be to implement this library

http://api.libssh.org/master/index.html

I dont remember how to link it up, do I build it with cmake and just include sources and headers?

would it be easy to add it to codeblocks so i don't haff to sublime it?

Is the library a bit advanced to use does anyone know? time is a precious and limited recource and I have to know as much as possible so that I can plan properly.

Thanks in advance.

For installing take a look here:

It shouldn't be too hard to integrate it in your project.

Well, security stuff is usually not trivial. It depends on you understanding whether you may master it.
It also depends on what you want to do with it.

I suggest that you take a look at the tutorial and check if it is actually in your range.
