These minor changes remove portability issues with the this example and allow it to run on Win32. Specifically: * The use of pthread_create() has been replaced by g_thread_create(). This removes the dependency on the pthreads library. Since this is an example using GTK+, g_thread_create() is available as it is a part of glibc. * The CURLOPT_FILE option is now referred to by its "newer name" CURLOPT_WRITEDATA. * The use of CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION has been added. As described in the docs, this avoids the crashes when using a DLL under Win32. * The output file has been renamed from "/tmp/test.curl" to "test.curl". It's unlikely that there is a /tmp when in Win32 and other examples in libcurl write their output files to the working directory.

README.win32
Read the README file first.
Curl has been compiled, built and run on all sorts of Windows and win32
systems. While not being the main develop target, a fair share of curl users
are win32-based.
The unix-style man pages are tricky to read on windows, so therefore are all
those pages converted to HTML as well as pdf, and included in the release
archives.
The main curl.1 man page is also "built-in" in the command line tool. Use a
command line similar to this in order to extract a separate text file:
curl -M >manual.txt
