Curl is a tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting
|
||
|
|
FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP.
|
||
|
|
Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, kerberos,
|
||
|
|
HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication,
|
||
|
|
file transfer resume, http proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.
|
||
|
|
See /usr/doc/curl-<version>/FEATURES for more info.

cURL (as of 7.9.1) builds 100% cleanly OOTB.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Cygwin specific source files (README and a Makefile for
|
||
|
|
building binary tarballs) are not in a CYGWIN-PATCHES directory.
|
||
|
|
They are at: <srctop>/packages/Win32/cygwin/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Direct Dependencies:
|
||
|
|
OpenSSL 0.9.6b (cURL can be built without SSL support: configure --without-ssl)

Build Instructions:
|
||
|
|
Download the source, move it to a location of your choosing, and then:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ tar xjf curl-<ver>-X-src.tar.bz2
|
||
|
|
$ cd curl-<ver>-X
|
||
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
||
|
|
$ make
|
||
|
|
$ make test # optional, requires perl
|
||
|
|
$ make install # (*)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(*) LibTool 1.4.2 had a bug related to cygwin's use of ".exe" extensions,
|
||
|
|
such that "make install" blew up at curl.exe. See this URL for details:
|
||
|
|

The copy of ltmain.sh that is distributed with cURL includes this patch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packaging Instructions:
|
||
|
|
To create a new binary tarball for cygwin's setup.exe, you must first do a clean
|
||
|
|
build (see above). The 'make install' step is optional of course. Then do:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ cd curl-<ver>-X
|
||
|
|
$ CYGBUILD=X make cygwinbin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where "X" is the cygwin release number (e.g. the "-1" in curl-7.9.3-1).
|
||
|
|
I had some difficulty figuring out how to default CYGBUILD to "1", this may
|
||
|
|
get fixed in a future release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assuming everything worked properly, you'll find your cygwin
|
||
|
|
binary tarball in the curl-<ver>-X/packages/Win32/cygwin/ directory.
