Importing libssh into Qt - c++

Question

I'm currently trying to import libssh into a Qt project I am working on. It appears that I have the library linked correctly as the project builds, but once I run the project it just crashes before anything really starts up. Which makes debugging difficult. If I comment out the line:
my_ssh_session = ssh_new();
Then everything runs as it should and no crash occurs. My .pro file looks like
QT += core gui
greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets
QT += sql
QT += script
QT += scripttools
QT += uitools
LIBS += -llibssh
INCLUDEPATH += $$quote(C:\libssh\include)
TARGET = white_wrapper
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES += main.cpp\
mainwindow.cpp \
datafeeder.cpp \
dbfeeder.cpp \
xmlhelper.cpp \
hiddevice.cpp
HEADERS += mainwindow.h \
datasource.h \
datafeeder.h \
dbfeeder.h \
xmlhelper.h \
hiddevice.h
FORMS += mainwindow.ui
After looking online it looks like the problem could be dlls but after running a dll dependency application it looks like I have all the dlls needed so I guess I'm at a lose and would love some input thanks.

I was getting the same error message with libssh-0.7.1, Qt 5.2.1 and MinGW.
After some research it turned up that libssh
needs another two dynamic libraries which depends on: libeay32.dll and zlib1.dll. They are not included in libssh's distribution archive, therefore you have to download them yourself and copy next to libssh.dll (or somewhere on $PATH).
In my .pro file I have the following lines added (I installed libssh using their installer to Program Files (x86) directory):
# Libssh:
LIBS += -L$$PWD/'../../../../../Program Files (x86)/libssh/lib/' -lssh.dll
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/'../../../../../Program Files (x86)/libssh/include'
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/'../../../../../Program Files (x86)/libssh/include'
Now my Qt application works without problems.
