I'm interested in building openssh5.6p1 from source for mac osx 10.6 (intel). Reading about installation I see it has a few dependencies and optional depends too. Would not be surprised if special options/flags should be used during make configure process. I'm skeptical that just " tar -xvf opensshxxx cd opensshxxx make ./configure sudo make install" would work without issues.
I've spent some time distro hopping and have come to love the package managers such as apt-get, yum and now pacman on Arch Linux. I'm starting to become comfortable in cli environment although I'm still learning the ropes, editing configs and whatnot. The thing is I don't even know where to begin resolving dependencies, installing the dependencies or what options should be used and ensuring that sshd/ssh client as comes with the mac os does not get in the way.
A little guidance would be much appreciated. I'm really surprised I was unable to find a recent tutorial on how to install openssh on the mac platform as ssh is such a great tool. From what I understand I would need to compile zlib (lossless data compression? neat!) I don't know what the others do though.
EDIT: Found this pdf for building openssh portable for solaris. Helpful in that it explains what the optional depends are since I'm clueless. Kernel based entropy or PRNGD sound like useful additions. Not sure how tcp wrapper would fit into the picture. Sounds like hosts.allow and hosts.deny?
