Curl / curl.h on Windows

Question

In my C ++ script there is the following:

#include "curl/curl.h"

When I try to compile it, I get the following error:

\ Users \ username \ Desktop \ Temp \ talkbot \ main.cpp C: \ Users \ username \ Desktop \ Temp \ talkbot \ C curl.h: there is no such file or directory.

So, I searched and tried to load cURL for windows. I finished work on http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?CURL_7.21.3 and select "Download without SSL". I downloaded it and I just got curl.exe.

What should I do with this file to get curl.h? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Instead of loading cURL, downloab libcurl. For Windows, you can use the following links:

http://curl.haxx.se/download/libcurl-7.19.3-win32-ssl-msvc.zip

http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/win32/curl-7.21.3-devel-mingw32.zip

Answer 2

You can get the required files in the source archive on the cURL website:

http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

Answer 3

I came across this answer now (2014) and some links are out of date.

For all the general information (all platforms) you can start reading http://curl.haxx.se

There is a download wizard to help you choose the most current and appropriate file or binary file at the moment http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/ . To answer this question, "libcurl" must be selected in the wizard. At the moment, win64 only seems to be available in the cygwin version, so go to win32 until this changes.

This link was helpful.

Select zip files for Windows

Select tar.gz files for Linux machines
