Add optional path specification to libssh.h, and instruction to use brew (for Mac)

[guoquan]

Hence Mac is supported

Apple silicon support next? Hopefully it will just build 😄

It looks like this was approved, but not merged?

I actually just got a M1 Mac Mini for some aarch64 work I'm doing, might give this branch a whirl to see if it's still working today.

Location is slightly different for me on an M1 using the same brew package.

LIBSSH_INCLUDE2 = /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libssh/0.9.6/include/libssh/libssh.h

Still working through it though, the includes in src/sshping.cos are not picking up the updated header path it seems.

Using #27, I was able to get running as well.

Just tried this after merge and still having issues. I'm on an M1 MacBook Pro running the following, any suggestions?

brew install libssh
make -e LIBSSH_INCLUDE=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/libssh/0.10.4/include/libssh/libssh.h

Output is:

g++ -Wall -I ext/ -o bin/sshping src/sshping.cxx -lssh
src/sshping.cxx:38:10: fatal error: 'libssh/libssh.h' file not found
#include <libssh/libssh.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make: *** [bin/sshping] Error 1

For future users:
change the CMakeLists.txt according to: #27
And do the following

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
# sudo make install

For Mac users with issue locating libssh.h, please also consult #23

It may be good if someone can propose a PR with $(CFLAGS) ready and compile instruction in README.md
