I have the curllib.vcproj project added to my solution and set my other projects to depend on it.

How do I bui

Answer 1

Maybe this isn't the answer anyone is looking for, but I simply just downloaded the precompiled DLLs from this link found at http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

I ran the test that sharkin provided, and if( vinfo->features & CURL_VERSION_SSL ) proved to be true.

Answer 2

i did "do_nt.bat" for windows 7 rc7100 don't forget "nmake -f ms\nt.mak install" to copy the headers correctly

thanks this did help a lot

Answer 3

\ fatal error C1083: Cannot open include
file: 'stdlib.h': No such file or directory
NMAKE: fatal error U1077::return code 

That error can be solved by executing vcvarsall.bat in Visual Studio.

Answer 4

Following Robert Oschler's advice, here is my comment on the question as answer :

You can build recent libcurl (2012) with native SSL support for windows using the preprocessor symbols: USE_WINDOWS_SSPI and USE_SCHANNEL instead of the OpenSSL ones.
