As far as I'm aware, there are no "official" curl binaries or devel packages, and if you don't want to build from source (I don't particularly) you have to download one of the prebuilt development packages advertised on http://curl.haxx.se/download.html - these are provided by third parties. I downloaded the 7.15.1 MSVC version with SSL support (there's only one) from http://my.guardpuppy.com/libcurl-7.15.1-msvc-win32-ssl-0.9.8a-zlib-1.2.3.zip and it provides the directory structure that I described earlier. Now, as to whether this indicates a lack of cross-platform tests, I'm not sure. On my SuSe installation, curl.h has been packaged to end up in /usr/include/curl/curl.h which matches the current FindCURL.cmake. All of the Windows development packages seem to have this extra include, though. Strangely enough, there's no include dir in the source tree, so maybe it's a convention that the package builders have adopted. Is this worth raising as a bug ? -- Regards Steve Collyer Netspinner Ltd _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
