You will need working installations of Zlib and OpenSSL.

OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your system
supports it. PAM is standard on Redhat and Debian Linux, Solaris and
HP-UX 11.

+Will install OpenSSH in /opt/{bin,etc,lib,sbin}. You can also override
specific paths, for example:
./configure --prefix=/opt --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh
There are a few other options to the configure script:
---with-rsh=PATH allows you to specify the path to your rsh program.
-Normally ./configure will search the current $PATH for 'rsh'. You
-may need to specify this option if rsh is not in your path or has a
-different name.
-
---with-pam enables PAM support.
-
---enable-gnome-askpass will build the GNOME passphrase dialog. You
-need a working installation of GNOME, including the development
-headers, for this to work.
+--with-pam enables PAM support. If PAM support is compiled in, it must
+also be enabled in sshd_config (refer to the UsePAM directive).
---with-prngd-socket=/some/file allows you to enable EGD or PRNGD
-support and to specify a PRNGd socket. Use this if your Unix lacks

---with-ipv4-default instructs OpenSSH to use IPv4 by default for new
-connections. Normally OpenSSH will try attempt to lookup both IPv6 and
-IPv4 addresses. On Linux/glibc-2.1.2 this causes long delays in name

-connect to IPv6 addresses using the command line option '-6'.

--with-ssl-dir=DIR allows you to specify where your OpenSSL libraries
are installed.
