UNIX
====
+
A normal unix installation is made in three or four steps (after you've
unpacked the source archive):
SPECIAL CASES
-------------
+
Some versions of uClibc require configuring with CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE=1
to get correct large file support.
./configure CC=owcc AR="$WATCOM/binl/wlib" AR_FLAGS=-q \
RANLIB=/bin/true STRIP="$WATCOM/binl/wstrip" CFLAGS=-Wextra
-
Win32
=====
If you get linkage errors read section 5.7 of the FAQ document.
-
MingW32
-------
- optional recent Novell CLDAP SDK available from:
http://developer.novell.com/ndk/cldap.htm
-
Cygwin
------
is required, as well as the OpenSSL libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib
libraries.
-
OTHER MSVC IDEs
---------------
Make the sources in the src/ drawer be a "win32 console application"
project. Name it curl.
-
Disabling Specific Protocols in Win32 builds
--------------------------------------------
- Add defines to Project/Settings/C/C++/General/Preprocessor Definitions
in the vc6libcurl.dsw/vc6libcurl.dsp Visual C++ 6 IDE project.
-
Using BSD-style lwIP instead of Winsock TCP/IP stack in Win32 builds
--------------------------------------------------------------------
add '-DCURL_STATICLIB' to your CFLAGS. Otherwise the linker will look for
dynamic import symbols.
-
Apple iOS and Mac OS X
======================
+
On recent Apple operating systems, curl can be built to use Apple's
SSL/TLS implementation, Secure Transport, instead of OpenSSL. To build with
Secure Transport for SSL/TLS, use the configure option --with-darwinssl. (It
./configure --with-darwinssl
make
-
IBM OS/2
========
+
Building under OS/2 is not much different from building under unix.
You need:
If you're getting huge binaries, probably your makefiles have the -g in
CFLAGS.
-
VMS
===
+
(The VMS section is in whole contributed by the friendly Nico Baggus)
Curl seems to work with FTP & HTTP other protocols are not tested. (the
the name can be fetched from external or internal message libraries
Error code - the err codes assigned by the application
Sev. - severity: Even = error, off = non error

0 = Warning
1 = Success
2 = Error

QNX
===
+
(This section was graciously brought to us by David Bentham)
As QNX is targeted for resource constrained environments, the QNX headers
A good all-round solution to this is to override the default when building
libcurl, by overriding CFLAGS during configure, example
- # configure CFLAGS='-DFD_SETSIZE=64 -g -O2'
+ # configure CFLAGS='-DFD_SETSIZE=64 -g -O2'
RISC OS
=======
+
The library can be cross-compiled using gccsdk as follows:
CC=riscos-gcc AR=riscos-ar RANLIB='riscos-ar -s' ./configure \
where riscos-gcc and riscos-ar are links to the gccsdk tools.
You can then link your program with curl/lib/.libs/libcurl.a
-
AmigaOS
=======
+
(This section was graciously brought to us by Diego Casorran)
To build cURL/libcurl on AmigaOS just type 'make amiga' ...
To enable SSL support, you need a OpenSSL native version (without ixemul),
you can find a precompiled package at http://amiga.sourceforge.net/OpenSSL/
-
NetWare
=======
+
To compile curl.nlm / libcurl.nlm you need:
+
- either any gcc / nlmconv, or CodeWarrior 7 PDK 4 or later.
- gnu make and awk running on the platform you compile on;
native Win32 versions can be downloaded from:
the status of these builds can be viewed at the autobuild table:
http://curl.haxx.se/dev/builds.html
-
eCos
====
+
curl does not use the eCos build system, so you must first build eCos
separately, then link curl to the resulting eCos library. Here's a sample
configure line to do so on an x86 Linux box targeting x86:
config.errors = stderr; /* default errors to stderr */
-
Minix
=====
+
curl can be compiled on Minix 3 using gcc or ACK (starting with
ver. 3.1.3). Ensure that GNU gawk and bash are both installed and
available in the PATH.
make
chmem =256000 src/curl
-
Symbian OS
==========
+
The Symbian OS port uses the Symbian build system to compile. From the
packages/Symbian/group/ directory, run:
SDK doesn't include support for P.I.P.S., you will need to contact
your SDK vendor to obtain that first.
-
VxWorks
========
+
Build for VxWorks is performed using cross compilation.
That means you build on Windows machine using VxWorks tools and
run the built image on the VxWorks device.
As a result the libcurl.a library should be created in the 'lib' folder.
To clean the build results type 'make -f ./Makefile.vxworks clean'.
-
Android
=======
+
Method using the static makefile:
+
- see the build notes in the packages/Android/Android.mk file.
Method using a configure cross-compile (tested with Android NDK r7c, r8):
+
- prepare the toolchain of the Android NDK for standalone use; this can
be done by invoking the script:
./build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh
found in your automake folder:
find /usr -name config.sub
- Wrapper for pkg-config
+ Wrapper for pkg-config:
+
- In order to make proper use of pkg-config so that configure is able to
find all dependencies you should create a wrapper script for pkg-config;
file /opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-pkg-config:
also create a copy or symlink with name arm-unknown-linux-androideabi-pkg-config.

CROSS COMPILE
=============
+
(This section was graciously brought to us by Jim Duey, with additions by
Dan Fandrich)
./configure --host=ARCH-OS
-
REDUCING SIZE
=============
+
There are a number of configure options that can be used to reduce the
size of libcurl for embedded applications where binary size is an
important factor. First, be sure to set the CFLAGS variable when
size of the libcurl dynamic libraries on some platforms even further.
Specify them by providing appropriate CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables on the
configure command-line, e.g.
+
CFLAGS="-Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections \
-fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables" \
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-s -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,--gc-sections"
--disable-manual !--manual
--disable-proxy !HTTP\ proxy !proxytunnel !SOCKS4 !SOCKS5

PORTS
=====
+
This is a probably incomplete list of known hardware and operating systems
that curl has been compiled for. If you know a system curl compiles and
runs on, that isn't listed, please let us know!
