Curl is a tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting
|
|
FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP.
|
|
Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT,
|
|
FTP uploading, kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies,
|
|
cookies, user+password authentication, file transfer resume,
|
|
http proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks.
|
|
|
|
See /usr/doc/curl-<version>/FEATURES for more info.

|
Dependencies:
|
|
- Cygwin
|
|
- OpenSSL 0.9.6b-2+ (*)
|
|
(*) cURL can be built without SSL support: ./configure --without-ssl
|
|

Canonical Homepage and Downloads:

|
|
Cygwin specific source files (a .README template and a Makefile
|
|
for building binary tarballs) are maintained in the upstream
|
|
CVS at: <srctop>/packages/Win32/cygwin/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build Instructions (as distributed via cygwin's setup.exe):
|
|
(NOTE: as of curl 7.9.1, compiles/tests 100% cleanly OOTB under cygwin)
|
|
|
|
Download the source, unpack it to a location of your choosing, and then:
|
|
|
|
$ ./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:
|
|
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/libtool/2001-September/005549.html
|
|
The copy of ltmain.sh that is distributed with cURL includes this patch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Packaging Instructions:
|
|
---BINARY---
|
|
Compile cleanly (./configure + make). Then:
|
|
|
|
$ make cygwinbin CYGBUILD=n
|
|
|
|
where n is the cygwin release number (e.g. the "1" in curl-7.9-1).
|
|
If you leave off "CYGBUILD=n", n defaults to 1.
|
|
|
|
Assuming everything worked properly, you'll find your binary tarball
|
|
in the packages/Win32/cygwin/ sub-directory.
|
|
|
|
---SOURCE---
|
|
1. unpack the pristine source into an otherwise empty directory
|
|
2. rename the source dir to add the "-$(REL)" suffix, e.g.:
|
|
$ mv curl-7.9 curl-7.9-1
|
|
3. add a CYGWIN-PATCHES directory, and add this readme to it
|
|
$ cd curl-7.9-$(REL); mkdir CYGWIN-PATCHES
|
|
$ cp packages/Win32/cygwin/README CYGWIN-PATCHES/curl-7.9-$(REL).README
|
|
4. if applicable, document any changes in the README file
|
|
5. create a patch which, when applied (patch -p1 < curl-7.9-$(REL).patch)
|
|
will remove any patches you've applied:
|
|
$ cd ..
|
|
$ diff -Nrup (patched-src-dir) (pristine-src-dir) > curl-7.9-$(REL).patch
|
|
and then move it into the CYGWIN-PATCHES directory
|
|
6. repack
|
