Hi David,
I downloaded the code from the curllib site which I believe included the project, and compiled it in VC 11. I set error checking to L2 and it built completely clean. I then tried to build a .dll and I received a whole bunch of errors which I haven’t yet tried to resolve. I matched many of the conventions (i.e. project properties menu) but I haven’t yet done a clean sweep of all conventions to match against what I have in my application. I’m thinking now that this should be my next step. May sound like a silly question, but do I need both the libcurl.lib and libcurl.dll files or can I get away with just libcurl.lib?

I downloaded v7.36 (32-bit) a couple of months ago and compiled it to a .lib file (note I wasn’t able to create a .dll). When I put the .lib file into my library path and called a couple of curllib functions the linker complained and could not find these functions to execute. I confirmed this by creating dummy functions with same name and parameters in my code. I’m running Windows 7 Home Edition SP1. If possible, could someone send me the .lib and .dll files of either the 7.36 build or later build? I will download the headers from the site if need be. How did you compile the .lib? Was it from within Visual Studio, or using a makefile? How are you linking your application? What are the error messages? I use Visual C++ 12.0 and ended up creating my own makefile to build a .lib, to match the conventions used in the rest of my code base. I haven't had any problems linking to it. It is possible that the curl-supplied makefile is out of date; using multiple FOSS libraries in my code, I have found that Windows build support tends to lag (especially for any project that uses configure scripts). -- David Chapman dcchap...@acm.org Chapman Consulting -- San Jose, CA Software Development Done Right. www.chapman-consulting-sj.com
