I'm looking to compile libcurl on a platform that doesnt seem to be currently supported (xbox 360)
Isn't that running something similar to win32?
I was wondering, where would someone start with the "port" to a new platform?
Start off by reading: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/internals.html
Is there a specific file that has the os specific functionality?
No. libcurl assumes that your OS has POSIX(-like) networking functions and a bunch of other APIs, or you need to provide them. All source files are thus written to be generic, and are controlled by #ifdefs for specific features.
If your build environment can't run configure, you make your own config-[target].h header file and make sure that is included like the current win32, symbian or os400 headers are used.
Also i noticed there are a lot of checks for things like HAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H, do i just need to make some defines somewhere to specify what this platform does and does not have?
That's what you do in the config-xbox360.h header, yes! If you're lucky, editing that file gets you all the way. If you run into problems or have further questions, just shout here! -- / daniel.haxx.se ------------------------------------------------------------------- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
