This variable was meant to be used by curl Find modules, but it turns
out it makes no sense to use those from `curl-config.cmake.in`. It means
this variable was not used before and will not be used in the future,
and therefore safe to delete.
Also add missing macros passed to `curl-config.cmake` to comment.
Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/14930#discussion_r1929537797Closes#16087
iOS:
- add jobs with autotools, CMake, CMake Xcode generator.
The Xcode generator is >10x slower than Unix Makefiles. Keep it
because it's the one recommended by CMake and for having its own
quirks we may want to know about.
- build, cache and use LibreSSL for these jobs.
With workaround for an iOS build issue fixed in master.
- make Xcode generator work by explicitly disabling code signing.
- make tests and examples build with the Xcode generator by setting
`-DMACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER=se.curl`, to avoid
"Bundle identifier is missing" errors.
- cmake: disable `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` by default for Apple device.
- cmake: add `stdc++` library for BoringSSL and AWS-LC, with
`OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON` set.
- cmake: add workaround for Xcode generator issue, where it cannot
handle two targets depending on one custom command. A better fix may
be dropping `tool_hugehelp.c` and `tool_ca_embed.c` from curltool
library. For a future PR.
Android:
- add vcpkg to Android jobs, enable dependencies.
Assisted-by: Tal Regev via #16045
- make vcpkg work with autotools.
- pass `--with-brotli` to autotools to detect the vcpkg-supplied brotli.
- enable BoringSSL for Android and add a job with it.
- silence 457 CMake configure warnings about the Android NDK CMake
scripts targeting freshly deprecated CMake versions.
These were much more involved than imagined. Basically nothing works out
of the box, and when combined, everything becomes a unique edge case.
autotools builds were a much easier to make work than CMake ones.
Also:
- GHA/non-native: re-sync names to be shorter and more aligned with
other workflows.
- GHA: add `persist-credentials: false` where missing.
Unresolved issues:
- `OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR` ignored/mis-used when pointing it to LibreSSL.
CMake seems to prepend the sysroot to the passed absolute directory.
Found no workaround.
- CMake when combined with Android, both the Google-recommended method
and the built-in CMake method fail to provide a way to avoid
`pkg-config` packages at system directories. Failed to find a knob
that can remove `/usr/include` from the search path. The workaround is
to disable zstd. (I enabled it by default in this release, maybe
premature?: f2adb3b6d7#15431)
Disabling `pkg-config` doesn't work because vcpkg dependencies do not
link without it.
- CMake's Xcode generator is slow because each `try_compile()` feature
check springs a new CMake + Xcode project taking a long time to run,
just to compile single-liner C files. A known issue, with no solution.
`-DCMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE=OFF` did not help, limiting build types to
a single one (e.g. `Debug`) also had no effect.

- GHA/non-native: add Android builds, both cmake and autotools,
both NDK 21 (oldest available) and 35 (newest available)
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2404-Readme.md
It comes with a maintenance burden to bump the oldest/latest values
with CI runner updates.
- cmake: disable `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` by default for Android.
To avoid picking up system package by default.
- build: add `ANDROID-<NDK-LEVEL>` flag to `buildinfo.txt`.
Also detect NDK level with the CMake built-in build method:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling-for-android
- INSTALL.md: add CMake build instructions for Android.
- INSTALL.md: make NDK levels consistent in `./configure` example.
Closes#16014
Via these variables, as lists:
- `CURL_SUPPORTED_PROTOCOLS`
- `CURL_SUPPORTED_FEATURES`
As individual flags:
- `CURL_SUPPORTS_<protocol/feature>` = `TRUE`
Also:
- set `CURL_VERSION_STRING` which was missing when using
`find_package(CURL CONFIG)` or
`find_package(CURL NO_MODULE)`.
- set `CURL_<prototol/feature>_FOUND` for compatibility.
- show full list of missing but required `COMPONENTS`.

Fixes#15854Closes#15858
This reverts commit 39c06f7883#15005.
Combined with most Find modules now supporting `pkg-config`
(39c741b7b0#15408) this change made
mingw-cross builds fragile by picking up OS-native components. Also
adding `/usr/include` to the header path, confusing feature detection.
Enable `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` by default for MinGW cross-builds.
Note: This may cause fallouts in certain envs where `pkg-config` picks
up native packages.

- unroll two short loops.
- unfold lines.
- merge lines with their comments.
- add missing quotes.
- tidy up grammar in error/warning messages.
Cherry-picked from #14692Closes#14998
Enable `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` by default for more environments:
- for `MINGW` targets when not using cross-compilation.
- stop restricting vcpkg to MSVC. (this currently unlocks mingw,
also unlocked by the update above.)
Also:
- cache `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` in `CURLConfig.cmake`.

- drop redundant internal variable `USE_ZLIB`, rely on `HAVE_LIBZ`.
- rename `optional_dependency()` -> `curl_dependency_option()`
Make `grep 'option('` hit this option. Namespaced.
It has a single use with `ZLIB`.
Closes#14918
- show `OpenSSL v3+` when detected (as in `./configure`).
(this string also makes its way to `curl-config`.)
- prefer `unset(VAR)` over `set(VAR)`.
Same effect, but `unset()` tells the intent unambiguously.
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/set.html
- drop "implementation" from an `option()` description.
- FindGSS: replace legacy keyword alias with modern alternative.
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/get_filename_component.html
- move `CURL_STATIC_CRT` logic next to its `option()`.
- improve order of `libcurl.pc`/`curl-config` variable init lines.
- tests: drop/shorten custom target names.
They inflated generated make files by 550KB.
Keep target name logic for sync between code snippets.
Follow-up to a2ef5d36b3#14660
- clear a variable after use.
- restore `STATUS` for `Features:`/`Protocols:` `message()`s:
Without it the output goes to stderr, and appears in red in CMake GUI.
It doesn't seem possible to show a line on stdout without leading
underscores to match `curl -V` and `./configure` output.
Partial revert of acbc6b703f#14197
- WindowsCache: move `HAVE_LINUX_TCP_H` into the header group.
- move strings to the same line as their `STRING` keyword.
- formatting in generated code.
- delete bogus comment.
- unfold lines for readability.
- fix a too long line. (for cmakelint)
- missing quotes, whitespace, comments.
Closes#14610
Limits `pkg-config` to UNIX and MSVC with vcpkg, by default. Compared to
curl 8.9.1, this unlocks `pkg-config` on MSVC with vcpkg.
This condition might be updated in the future depending on where
`pkg-config` can be useful without breaking things. (e.g. to non-cross
MINGW, or all MINGW).
In the meantime everyone is free to override the default and test their
build with `pkg-config` by setting the `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=ON` CMake
option.
Closes#14575
Add option to control whether to use `pkg-config` to detect
dependencies. Curl's CMake uses `pkg-config` by default for all targets
except for MSVC without vcpkg.
With the CMake option `-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=ON` you can override it to
use `pkg-config` always.
If `pkg-config` is causing issues, e.g. in cross-builds or other cases,
`-DCURL_USE_PKGCONFIG=OFF` disables all use of `pkg-config`.
Also add it to `curl-config.cmake`. Not yet used, but will be once curl
starts referencing any curl-specific `Find*` module from this public
script.

Fixes errors on second `find_package(CURL)`. This is a frequent case
with transitive dependencies:
```
CMake Error at ...:
add_library cannot create ALIAS target "CURL::libcurl" because another
target with the same name already exists.
```
Test to reproduce:
```cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.27) # must be 3.18 or higher
project(curl)
set(CURL_DIR "example/lib/cmake/CURL/")
find_package(CURL CONFIG REQUIRED)
find_package(CURL CONFIG REQUIRED) # fails
add_executable(main main.c)
target_link_libraries(main CURL::libcurl)

Closes#11913
This patch adds the ability to build a static and shared libcurl library
in a single build session. It also adds an option to select which one to
use when building the curl executable.
New build options:
- `BUILD_STATIC_LIBS`. Default: `OFF`.
Enabled automatically if `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS` is `OFF`.
- `BUILD_STATIC_CURL`. Default: `OFF`.
Requires `BUILD_STATIC_LIBS` enabled.
Enabled automatically if building static libcurl only.
- `STATIC_LIB_SUFFIX`. Default: empty.
- `IMPORT_LIB_SUFFIX`. Default: `_imp` if implib filename would collide
with static lib name (typically with MSVC) in Windows builds.
Otherwise empty.
Also:
- Stop setting the `CURL_STATICLIB` macro via `curl_config.h`, and pass
it directly to the compiler. This also allows to delete a condition
from `tests/server/CMakeLists.txt`.
- Complete a TODO by following the logic used in autotools (also for
`LIBCURL_NO_SHARED`), and set `-DCURL_STATICLIB` in `Cflags:` of
`libcurl.pc` for _static-only_ curl builds.
- Convert an existing CI test to build both shared and static libcurl.
Closes#11505
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn

Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
Use 'GNUInstallDirs' standard module to set destinations of installed
files.
Use uppercase "CURL" names instead of lowercase "curl" to match standard
'FindCURL.cmake' CMake module:
* https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindCURL.html
Meaning:
* Install 'CURLConfig.cmake' instead of 'curl-config.cmake'
* User should call 'find_package(CURL)' instead of 'find_package(curl)'
Use 'configure_package_config_file' function to generate
'CURLConfig.cmake' file. This will make 'curl-config.cmake.in' template
file smaller and handle components better. E.g. current configuration
report no error if user specified unknown components (note: new
configuration expects no components, report error if user will try to
specify any).
