When building an application that uses the static libcurl library, you must
|
||||
add -DCURL_STATICLIB to your CFLAGS. Otherwise the linker will look for
|
||||
dynamic import symbols. If you get linker error like "unknown symbol
|
||||
__imp__curl_easy_init ..." you have linked against the wrong (static) library.
|
||||
If you want to use the curl.dll and import lib, you don't need any extra CFLAGS,
|
||||
but use one of the import libraries below. These are the libraries produced by
|
||||
the various lib/Makefile.* files:
|
||||
|
||||
Target: static lib. import lib for curl*.dll.
