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/

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:
|
2001-10-29 17:17:19 -05:00
|
|
|
To create a new binary tarball for cygwin's setup.exe, the first step is to
|
|
|
|
|
do a clean build (./configure and make). The 'make install' step is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
Then do:
|
2001-10-29 05:31:52 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ cd curl-<ver>-X
|
2001-10-29 17:17:19 -05:00
|
|
|
$ make cygwinbin CYGBUILD=X
|
2001-10-29 05:31:52 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
where "X" is the cygwin release number (e.g. the "-1" in curl-7.9.3-1).
|
2001-10-29 17:17:19 -05:00
|
|
|
If you leave off "CYGBUILD=X", X defaults to 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-10-29 05:31:52 -05:00
|
|
|
Assuming everything worked properly, you'll find your cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
binary tarball in the curl-<ver>-X/packages/Win32/cygwin/ directory.
