Building with Visual C++, prerequises
|
|
=====================================
|
|
This document describes how to compile, build and install curl and libcurl
|
|
from sources using the Visual C++ build tool. To build with VC++, you will
|
|
of course have to first install VC++. The minimum required version of
|
|
VC is 6 (part of Visual Studio 6). However using a more recent version like
|
|
2008 (vc9) is strongly recommended.
|
|
|
|
VC++ is also part of the Windows Platform SDK. You do not have to install
|
|
the full Visual Studio or Visual C++ if all you want is to build curl.
|
|
|
|
The Platform SDK can be fetched here, freely:
|
|
|
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb980924
|
|
|
|
If you wish to support zlib, openssl, ssh2, you will have to download
|
|
them separately and copy them to the deps directory as shown below:
|
|
|
|
somedirectory\
|
|
|_curl-src
|
|
| |_winbuild
|
|
|
|
|
|_deps
|
|
|_ lib
|
|
|_ include
|
|
|_ bin
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to create the deps directory in some other random
|
|
places and tell the Makefile its location using the WITH_DEVEL option.
|
|
|
|
Building with Visual C++
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Open a Visual Studio Command prompt or the SDK CMD shell.
|
|
|
|
Using the CMD Shell:
|
|
choose the right environment via the setenv command (see setenv /?)
|
|
for the full list of options. setenv /xp /x86 /release for example.
|
|
|
|
Using the Visual Studio command prompt Shell:
|
|
Everything is already pre-configured by calling one of the command
|
|
prompt.
|
|
|
|
Once you are in the console, go to the winbuild directory in the Curl
|
|
sources:
|
|
cd curl-src\winbuild
|
|
|
|
Then you can call nmake /f makefile with the desired options (see below).
|
|
The builds will be in the top src directory, builds\ directory, in
|
|
a directory named using the options given to the nmake call.
|
|
|
|
nmake /f makefile.vc mode=<static or dll> <options>
|
|
where <options> is one or many of:
|
|
VC=<6,7,8,9,10> - VC versions
|
|
WITH_DEVEL=<path> - Paths for the development files (SSL, zlib, etc.)
|
|
Default to sibbling directory deps: ../deps
|
|
Libraries can be fetched at http://pecl2.php.net/downloads/php-windows-builds/
|
|
Uncompress them into the deps folder.
|
|
WITH_SSL=<dll or static> - Enable OpenSSL support, DLL or static
|
|
WITH_ZLIB=<dll or static> - Enable ZLib support, DLL or static
|
|
WITH_SSH2=<dll or static> - Enable LIbSSH2 support, DLL or static
|
|
USE_SSSPI=<yes or no> - Enable SSPI support, default to yes
|
|
USE_IPV6=<yes or no> - Enable IPV6, default to yes
|
|
DEBUG=<yes or no> - Debug builds
|
|
USE_IDN=<yes or no> - Wheter or not to use IDN Windows APIs. Requires Windows Vista or later.
