way to proceed is mainly divided in two different ways: the unix way or the
windows way.
If you're using Windows (95, 98, NT) or OS/2, you should continue reading from
the Win32 or OS/2 headers further down. All other systems should be capable of
being installed as described below.

The configure script *always* tries to find a working SSL library unless
explicitly told not to. If you have OpenSSL installed in the default
search path for your compiler/linker, you don't need to do anything
special:
A normal unix installation is made in three or four steps (after you've
unpacked the source archive):
./configure
make
make test (optional)
make install
If you have OpenSSL installed in /usr/local/ssl, you can run configure
You probably need to be root when doing the last command.
If you want to install curl in a different file hierarchy than /usr/local,
you need to specify that already when running configure:
./configure --prefix=/path/to/curl/tree
The configure script always tries to find a working SSL library unless

Use the executable `curl` in src/ directory.
To install curl on your system, run
make install
This will copy curl to /usr/local/bin/ (or $prefix/bin if you used the
--prefix option to configure) and it copies the man pages, the lib and the
include files to suitable places.
To make sure everything runs as supposed, run the test suite:
make test
(as suggested by Doug Kaufman)
