hi Travis im not sure on your query but here are the things which i came across while building an ftp application using libcurl on windows visual studio 2008
ive downloaded curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32 and extracted in to "F:/" directory. u can choose any directory of your choice. i would say this as <install-dir> for header files "Properties->C/C++->Additonal Include Directory" should be set to "<install-dir>/curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32/include" for just compilation this should help. However u might need to have additional static library references for linking your application code with curl the static libraries should be given in "Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies". In my case these libraries are "libcurl.a" and "libcurldll.a". The look up path for these libraries is added to the "Properties->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories". In my case the look up directory path is ""<install-dir>/curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32/lib" if every thing is proper, then linking should go through.. when u try to run the application, the curl looks for run time libraries or dlls. curl dlls are located in ""<install-dir>/curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32/bin". im not sure how i can specify dll paths in vs2008, alternatively u can copy all of the dlls into the the directory where the exe for your project is getting created. i think the above should help regards arun On Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 1:06 AM, Travis Dimmig <[email protected]> wrote: > I am trying to build a project in VC 2008 that makes use of libcurl.
