Hi I'm trying to install Curl : http://curl.haxx.se/download.html , Dev C++ and so far not achieved, could someone explain how to install Curl in Dev C++?

Answer 1

First copy ..\curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw64\include folder from downloaded package into C:\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\include then copy libraries file (.o,.a,.lib) that are inside ..\curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw64\lib64 folder into C:\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\lib then compile very first program , don't forget to link libcurl.a :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

 int main(void)
 {
    CURL *curl;
    CURLcode res;

    curl = curl_easy_init();
    if(curl) 
    {
       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://google.com");
       /* example.com is redirected, so we tell libcurl to follow redirection */
       curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);

       /* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
       res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
       /* Check for errors */
       if(res != CURLE_OK)
       fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
       curl_easy_strerror(res));

       /* always cleanup */
       curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
    }
  return 0;
 }

I am using Dev-c++ 5.11 (gcc 4.9.2) and curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw64.
