I am trying to use cURL in a C ++ project that I am working on in VS2010.
I downloaded the latest cURL source and I am creating a solution included in the archive. When I create this project, the only lib output is libcurld_imp.lib. I was expecting "libcul.lib". In any case, I pointed VS to the include directory in which the headers are stored, and added the above lib to my linker dependencies. Finally, I add the folder path of this "libcurld_imp.lib" to the search locations of additional link libraries.
I cannot create my project due to the following linker error:
error LNK1104: cannot open libcurld_imp.lib file
This file exists in the folder that I added to the search path for additional libraries. What am I missing? Thanks
Update
Good .. So I managed to get the libcurl.lib file by editing libcurl proj. The default build settings were set for the output of the DLL. I changed this as a static library. Now that I have libcurl.lib, I get the following binding errors:
Error 3 of LNK2019 error: unresolved external symbol _imp_curl_easy_setopt referenced by the _main function Error 2 of LNK2019 error: unresolved external symbol _imp_curl_easy_perform specified in the _main function
Does anyone know how to tie this frickgen thing?
Another update
The documentation included in the initial download includes the file "build.windows". The instructions say that the following command is used to build the lib library:
nmake / f makefile.vc mode =
I did this using “static” as my mode, and “VC = 10” as my option. This creates a library, but is called libcurl_a.lib. Binding to this lib gives the same errors :( Thanks
