the flag "comp" is not required. See in the tests/t-cv25519.c line +-  176.

Futher hwo do you create the shared secret k. This is described in
https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/tree/doc/curve25519-sha256@libssh.org.txt
4.3 Shared secret generation.
It goes via scalar multiplication of the "other side's public key and the
local private key scalar".
Both are available, but scalar multiplaction of q_s and d_c?
