Hi,

Has anyone got libcurl compiling suitably for use by a Windows 10 Universal 
Windows Application (UWA)? The platform is also referred to as Universal 
Windows Platform (UWP).


If you do a standard Windows build of libcurl, you will get link errors such as


2>libcurl_a.lib(connect.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
__imp__VerSetConditionMask@16

2>libcurl_a.lib(getenv.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
__imp__ExpandEnvironmentStringsA@12 referenced in function _GetEnv


when trying to link the final app. This is because certain Windows APIs are not 
allowed to be called by UWAs. The situation on Windows 10 is much better than 
Windows 8, where not even the socket API was available. Now pretty much 
everything needed is available, but some things have changed. So before I 
started hacking, I wanted to check in to see if anyone else is working towards 
this.


Regards, Paul
