Hi Arif,
here's a quick way without fancy GUI which works:
1) open a "Visual Studio 2008 command prompt"
2) change dir to the root of your extracted curl-7.39.0 source
3) build with: "nmake VC=vc9 vc-winssl"
4) test: with: "src\curl -V" - should show ya:
curl 7.39.0 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.39.0 WinSSL
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap
pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS Largefile SSPI SPNEGO NTLM SSL
I've just tested above, and that really works! So simple it can be ...
using zlib with libcurl doesnt bring much benefit, only the
curl.exe tool uses zlib to compress the manual (AFAICT).
This is now the fourth way I know of to build libcurl on Windows using
Visual Studio. Is this way supported? These are the older makefiles, no?
I tried eveyhting that you have mentioned and it
generated the
curl.exe but i need libCurl.dll.
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0>.\src\curl.exe -V
curl 7.39.0 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.39.0 WinSSL
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap pop3
pop3s rtsp
smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS Largefile SSPI SPNEGO NTLM SSL
In this case it should be in lib\release-winssl so check
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\lib\release-winssl. Don't link to it just from
the lib dir like C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\lib\libcurl.lib because if you
build multiple configurations some other configuration could end up
overwriting that file.
Speaking of multiple configurations, you have built a static release
library and if you want to use Debug configurations you will need to
link to a static debug library. There doesn't seem to be a debug-winssl
though.
You could instead build the DLL for both debug and release using the
newer makefiles:
Open a Visual Studio 2008 command prompt
cd C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\winbuild
nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll VC=9 ENABLE_IDN=no
nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll VC=9 ENABLE_IDN=no DEBUG=yes
IDN is disabled because VS2008 default SDK doesn't have IdnToAscii or
IdnToUnicode in normaliz.lib. You'll end up with:
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-debug-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl
For your x86 release configuration(s) do this:
Configuration Properties > Debugging > Environment
PATH=C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\bin;%PATH%
C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories

C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\lib;
Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies
libcurl.lib;
For your x86 debug configuration(s) do this:
Configuration Properties > Debugging > Environment
