is it so difficult ? I remembered that i compiled libcurl without difficulty with MSYS/MinGW on Windows or with the mingw cross toolchain on Linux (3 months ago).

Like http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#library-naming or ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/README (library naming section) 3) Can you put the libcurl.pc file in lib/pkgconfig. That's where it should be by default 4) Would it also be possible to add a version of libcurl built with c-ares ( http://c-ares.haxx.se/) ? We would like to use libcurl with c-ares, and this would avoid me to build c-ares and libcurl myself. thank you for your work ! Vincent
