When I compile curl-1.3.5 on Windows xp. I run the prompt "runghc
Setup.hs configure " I got the following error
Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: curl
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library
is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the
flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
I don't know how to fix this problem. Who knows? Please come to help me .
This message means that the curl package depends on the curl package
written in C;
to get the C curl package, go to http://curl.haxx.se/download.html and
download the
proper package (for example
http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.19.5-win32-ssl-sspi.zip
) and unpack it into a directory with no space in the path name, e.g.:
C:\temp\curl-7.19.5
If you do not have MingW/MSYS installed, do it now[1], you will need it for
other packages as well.
Open a DOS shell and go to the curl C package directory, give command:
make
; it will take several minutes to build.
Copy the contents of directory
C:\temp\curl-7.19.5\include\curl
to a directory where you collect .h files for linking, e.g.:
C:\usr\local\include\curl
Copy the contents of directory
C:\temp\curl-7.19.5\lib\.libs
to a directory where you collect library files for linking, e.g.:
C:\usr\local\lib\curl
To let the compiler find the necessary files, set environment variables:
set C_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\usr\local\include
set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\usr\local\lib;C:\usr\local\lib\curl
Now you will be able to compile the Haskell curl package.
