- Add `-lcrypt32` once, and add it always for simplicity.
- Delete broken link and reference to the pre-Vista WinIDN add-on.
MS no longer distribute it.
- Delete related `WINIDN_PATH` option. IDN is a system lib since Vista.
- Sync `LIBCARES_PATH` default with the rest of dependencies.
- Delete version numbers from dependency path defaults.
- `libgsasl` package is now called `gsasl`.
- Delete `libexpat` and `libxml2` references. No longer used by curl.
- Delete `Edit the path below...` comments. We recommend to predefine
those envvars instead.
- `libcares.a` is not an internal dependency anymore. Stop using it as
such.
- `windres` `--include-dir` -> `-I`, `-F` -> `--target=` for readability.
- Delete `STRIP`, `CURL_STRIP`, `AR` references from `src/Makefile.m32`.
They were never used.
- Stop to `clean` some objects twice in `src/Makefile.m32`.
- Delete cvs-specific leftovers.
- Finish resource support in examples make file.
- Delete `-I<root>/lib` from examples make file.
- Fix copyright start year in examples make file.
- Delete duplicate `ftpuploadresume` input in examples make file.
- Sync OpenSSL lib order, `SYNC` support, `PROOT` use, dependency path
defaults, variables names and other internal bits between the three
make files.
- `lib/Makefile.m32` accepted custom options via `DLL_LIBS` envvar. This
was lib-specific and possibly accidental. Use `CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS_DLL`
envvar for the same effect.
- Fix linking `curl.exe` and examples to wrong static libs with
auto-detected OpenSSL 1.0.2 or earlier.
- Add `-lgdi32` for OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier only.
- Add link to Novell LDAP SDK and use a relative default path. Latest
version is from 2016, linked to an outdated OpenSSL 1.0.1.
- Whitespace and comment cleanups.
TODO in a next commit:
Delete built-in detection/logic for OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier, the Novell
LDAP SDK and the other LDAP SDK (which is _not_ OpenLDAP). Write up the
necessary custom envvars to configure them.
Closes#9616
This directory is for libcurl programming examples. They are meant to show
some simple steps on how you can build your own application to take full
advantage of libcurl.
If you end up with other small but still useful example sources, please mail
them for submission in future packages and on the website.
Building
The Makefile.example is an example Makefile that could be used to build
these examples. Just edit the file according to your system and requirements
first.
Most examples should build fine using a command line like this:
`curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example example.c
Some compilers do not like having the arguments in this order but instead
want you do reorganize them like:
`curl-config --cc` -o example example.c `curl-config --cflags --libs`
Please do not use the curl.se site as a test target for your libcurl
applications/experiments. Even if some of the examples use that site as a URL
at some places, it does not mean that the URLs work or that we expect you to
actually torture our website with your tests. Thanks.
Examples
Each example source code file is designed to be and work stand-alone and
rather self-explanatory. The examples may at times lack the level of error
checks you need in a real world, but that is then only for the sake of
readability: to make the code smaller and easier to follow.
