This + document does not describe how to install curl or libcurl using such a + binary package. This document describes how to compile, build and install + curl and libcurl from source code. + +Building from git +================= + + If you get your code off a git repository, see the GIT-INFO file in the + root directory for specific instructions on how to proceed. + +UNIX +==== + A normal unix installation is made in three or four steps (after you've + unpacked the source archive): + + ./configure + make + make test (optional) + make install + + You probably need to be root when doing the last command. + + If you have checked out the sources from the git repository, read the + GIT-INFO on how to proceed. + + Get a full listing of all available configure options by invoking it like: + + ./configure --help + + If you want to install curl in a different file hierarchy than /usr/local, + you need to specify that already when running configure: + + ./configure --prefix=/path/to/curl/tree + + If you happen to have write permission in that directory, you can do 'make + install' without being root. An example of this would be to make a local + install in your own home directory: + + ./configure --prefix=$HOME + make + make install + + The configure script always tries to find a working SSL library unless + explicitly told not to. If you have OpenSSL installed in the default search + path for your compiler/linker, you don't need to do anything special. If + you have OpenSSL installed in /usr/local/ssl, you can run configure like: + + ./configure --with-ssl + + If you have OpenSSL installed somewhere else (for example, /opt/OpenSSL) + and you have pkg-config installed, set the pkg-config path first, like this: + + env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/OpenSSL/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --with-ssl + + Without pkg-config installed, use this: + + ./configure --with-ssl=/opt/OpenSSL + + If you insist on forcing a build without SSL support, even though you may + have OpenSSL installed in your system, you can run configure like this: + + ./configure --without-ssl + + If you have OpenSSL installed, but with the libraries in one place and the + header files somewhere else, you have to set the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS + environment variables prior to running configure. Something like this + should work: + + (with the Bourne shell and its clones): + + CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/ssl/lib" \ + ./configure + + (with csh, tcsh and their clones): + + env CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/ssl/lib" \ + ./configure + + If you have shared SSL libs installed in a directory where your run-time + linker doesn't find them (which usually causes configure failures), you can + provide the -R option to ld on some operating systems to set a hard-coded + path to the run-time linker: + + env LDFLAGS=-R/usr/local/ssl/lib ./configure --with-ssl + + MORE OPTIONS + ------------ + + To force configure to use the standard cc compiler if both cc and gcc are + present, run configure like + + CC=cc ./configure + or + env CC=cc ./configure + + To force a static library compile, disable the shared library creation + by running configure like: + + ./configure --disable-shared + + To tell the configure script to skip searching for thread-safe functions, + add an option like: + + ./configure --disable-thread + + To build curl with kerberos4 support enabled, curl requires the krb4 libs + and headers installed. You can then use a set of options to tell + configure where those are: + + --with-krb4-includes[=DIR] Specify location of kerberos4 headers + --with-krb4-libs[=DIR] Specify location of kerberos4 libs + --with-krb4[=DIR] where to look for Kerberos4 + + In most cases, /usr/athena is the install prefix and then it works with + + ./configure --with-krb4=/usr/athena + + If you're a curl developer and use gcc, you might want to enable more + debug options with the --enable-debug option. + + curl can be built to use a whole range of libraries to provide various + useful services, and configure will try to auto-detect a decent + default. But if you want to alter it, you can select how to deal with + each individual library. + + To build with GnuTLS for SSL/TLS, use both --without-ssl and + --with-gnutls. + + To build with Cyassl for SSL/TLS, use both --without-ssl and + --with-cyassl. + + To build with NSS for SSL/TLS, use both --without-ssl and --with-nss. + + To build with PolarSSL for SSL/TLS, use both --without-ssl and + --with-polarssl. + + To build with axTLS for SSL/TLS, use both --without-ssl and --with-axtls. + + To get GSSAPI support, build with --with-gssapi and have the MIT or + Heimdal Kerberos 5 packages installed. + + To get support for SCP and SFTP, build with --with-libssh2 and have + libssh2 0.16 or later installed. + + To get Metalink support, build with --with-libmetalink and have the + libmetalink packages installed. + + SPECIAL CASES + ------------- + Some versions of uClibc require configuring with CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE=1 + to get correct large file support. + + The Open Watcom C compiler on Linux requires configuring with the variables: + + ./configure CC=owcc AR="$WATCOM/binl/wlib" AR_FLAGS=-q \ + RANLIB=/bin/true STRIP="$WATCOM/binl/wstrip" CFLAGS=-Wextra + + +Win32 +===== + + Building Windows DLLs and C run-time (CRT) linkage issues + --------------------------------------------------------- + + As a general rule, building a DLL with static CRT linkage is highly + discouraged, and intermixing CRTs in the same app is something to + avoid at any cost. + + Reading and comprehension of Microsoft Knowledge Base articles + KB94248 and KB140584 is a must for any Windows developer. Especially + important is full understanding if you are not going to follow the + advice given above. + + KB94248 - How To Use the C Run-Time + http://support.microsoft.com/kb/94248/en-us + + KB140584 - How to link with the correct C Run-Time (CRT) library + http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140584/en-us + + KB190799 - Potential Errors Passing CRT Objects Across DLL Boundaries + http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235460 + + If your app is misbehaving in some strange way, or it is suffering + from memory corruption, before asking for further help, please try + first to rebuild every single library your app uses as well as your + app using the debug multithreaded dynamic C runtime. + + If you get linkage errors read section 5.7 of the FAQ document. + + + MingW32 + ------- + + Make sure that MinGW32's bin dir is in the search path, for example: + + set PATH=c:\mingw32\bin;%PATH% + + then run 'mingw32-make mingw32' in the root dir. There are other + make targets available to build libcurl with more features, use: + 'mingw32-make mingw32-zlib' to build with Zlib support; + 'mingw32-make mingw32-ssl-zlib' to build with SSL and Zlib enabled; + 'mingw32-make mingw32-ssh2-ssl-zlib' to build with SSH2, SSL, Zlib; + 'mingw32-make mingw32-ssh2-ssl-sspi-zlib' to build with SSH2, SSL, Zlib + and SSPI support. + + If you have any problems linking libraries or finding header files, be sure + to verify that the provided "Makefile.m32" files use the proper paths, and + adjust as necessary. It is also possible to override these paths with + environment variables, for example: + + set ZLIB_PATH=c:\zlib-1.2.7 + set OPENSSL_PATH=c:\openssl-0.9.8x + set LIBSSH2_PATH=c:\libssh2-1.4.3 + + ATTENTION: if you want to build with libssh2 support you have to use latest + version 0.17 - previous versions will NOT work with 7.17.0 and later! + Use 'mingw32-make mingw32-ssh2-ssl-zlib' to build with SSH2 and SSL enabled. + + It is now also possible to build with other LDAP SDKs than MS LDAP; + currently it is possible to build with native Win32 OpenLDAP, or with the + Novell CLDAP SDK. If you want to use these you need to set these vars: + + set LDAP_SDK=c:\openldap + set USE_LDAP_OPENLDAP=1 + + or for using the Novell SDK: + + set USE_LDAP_NOVELL=1 + + If you want to enable LDAPS support then set LDAPS=1. + + - optional MingW32-built OpenLDAP SDK available from: + http://www.gknw.net/mirror/openldap/ + - optional recent Novell CLDAP SDK available from: + http://developer.novell.com/ndk/cldap.htm + + + Cygwin + ------ + + Almost identical to the unix installation. Run the configure script in the + curl root with 'sh configure'. Make sure you have the sh executable in + /bin/ or you'll see the configure fail toward the end. + + Run 'make' + + Dev-Cpp + ------- + + See the separate INSTALL.devcpp file for details. + + MSVC 6 caveats + -------------- + + If you use MSVC 6 it is required that you use the February 2003 edition PSDK: + http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm + + Building any software with MSVC 6 without having PSDK installed is just + asking for trouble down the road once you have released it, you might notice + the problems in the first corner or ten miles ahead, depending mostly on your + choice of static vs dynamic runtime and third party libraries. Anyone using + software built in such way will at some point regret having done so. + + When someone uses MSVC 6 without PSDK he is using a compiler back from 1998. + + If the compiler has been updated with the installation of a service pack as + those mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/194022 the compiler can be + safely used to read source code, translate and make it object code. + + But, even with the service packs mentioned above installed, the resulting + software generated in such an environment will be using outdated system + header files and libraries with bugs and security issues which have already + been addressed and fixed long time ago. + + In order to make use of the updated system headers and fixed libraries + for MSVC 6, it is required that 'Platform SDK', PSDK from now onwards, + is installed. The specific PSDK that must be installed for MSVC 6 is the + February 2003 edition, which is the latest one supporting the MSVC 6 compiler, + this PSDK is also known as 'Windows Server 2003 PSDK' and can be downloaded + from http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm + + So, building curl and libcurl with MSVC 6 without PSDK is absolutely + discouraged for the benefit of anyone using software built in such + environment. And it will not be supported in any way, as we could just + be hunting bugs which have already been fixed way back in 2003. + + When building with MSVC 6 we attempt to detect if PSDK is not being used, + and if this is the case the build process will fail hard with an error + message stating that the February 2003 PSDK is required. This is done to + protect the unsuspecting and avoid PEBKAC issues. + + Additionally it might happen that a die hard MSVC hacker still wants to + build curl and libcurl with MSVC 6 without PSDK installed, even knowing + that this is a highly discouraged and unsupported build environment. In + this case the brave of heart will be able to build in such an environment + with the requisite of defining preprocessor symbol ALLOW_MSVC6_WITHOUT_PSDK + in lib/config-win32.h and knowing that LDAP and IPv6 support will be missing. + + MSVC from command line + ---------------------- + + Run the 'vcvars32.bat' file to get a proper environment. The + vcvars32.bat file is part of the Microsoft development environment and + you may find it in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\vc98\bin' + provided that you installed Visual C/C++ 6 in the default directory. + + Then run 'nmake vc' in curl's root directory. + + If you want to compile with zlib support, you will need to build + zlib (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/) as well. Please read the zlib + documentation on how to compile zlib. Define the ZLIB_PATH environment + variable to the location of zlib.h and zlib.lib, for example: + + set ZLIB_PATH=c:\zlib-1.2.7 + + Then run 'nmake vc-zlib' in curl's root directory. + + If you want to compile with SSL support you need the OpenSSL package. + Please read the OpenSSL documentation on how to compile and install + the OpenSSL libraries. The build process of OpenSSL generates the + libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll files in the out32dll subdirectory in + the OpenSSL home directory. OpenSSL static libraries (libeay32.lib, + ssleay32.lib, RSAglue.lib) are created in the out32 subdirectory. + + Before running nmake define the OPENSSL_PATH environment variable with + the root/base directory of OpenSSL, for example: + + set OPENSSL_PATH=c:\openssl-0.9.8x + + Then run 'nmake vc-ssl' or 'nmake vc-ssl-dll' in curl's root + directory. 'nmake vc-ssl' will create a libcurl static and dynamic + libraries in the lib subdirectory, as well as a statically linked + version of curl.exe in the src subdirectory. This statically linked + version is a standalone executable not requiring any DLL at + runtime. This make method requires that you have the static OpenSSL + libraries available in OpenSSL's out32 subdirectory. + 'nmake vc-ssl-dll' creates the libcurl dynamic library and + links curl.exe against libcurl and OpenSSL dynamically. + This executable requires libcurl.dll and the OpenSSL DLLs + at runtime. + Run 'nmake vc-ssl-zlib' to build with both ssl and zlib support. + + MSVC 6 IDE + ---------- + + A minimal VC++ 6.0 reference workspace (vc6curl.dsw) is available with the + source distribution archive to allow proper building of the two included + projects, the libcurl library and the curl tool. + + 1) Open the vc6curl.dsw workspace with MSVC6's IDE. + 2) Select 'Build' from top menu. + 3) Select 'Batch Build' from dropdown menu. + 4) Make sure that the eight project configurations are 'checked'. + 5) Click on the 'Build' button. + 6) Once the eight project configurations are built you are done. + + Dynamic and static libcurl libraries are built in debug and release flavours, + and can be located each one in its own subdirectory, DLL-Debug, DLL-Release, + LIB-Debug and LIB-Release, all of them below the 'lib' subdirectory. + + In the same way four curl executables are created, each using its respective + library. The resulting curl executables are located in its own subdirectory, + DLL-Debug, DLL-Release, LIB-Debug and LIB-Release, below the 'src' subdir. + + These reference VC++ 6.0 configurations are generated using the dynamic CRT. + + Intentionally, these reference VC++ 6.0 projects and configurations don't use + third party libraries, such as OpenSSL or Zlib, to allow proper compilation + and configuration for all new users without further requirements. + + If you need something more 'involved' you might adjust them for your own use, + or explore the world of makefiles described above 'MSVC from command line'. + + Borland C++ compiler + --------------------- + + Ensure that your build environment is properly set up to use the compiler + and associated tools. PATH environment variable must include the path to + bin subdirectory of your compiler installation, eg: c:\Borland\BCC55\bin + + It is advisable to set environment variable BCCDIR to the base path of + the compiler installation. + + set BCCDIR=c:\Borland\BCC55 + + In order to build a plain vanilla version of curl and libcurl run the + following command from curl's root directory: + + make borland + + To build curl and libcurl with zlib and OpenSSL support set environment + variables ZLIB_PATH and OPENSSL_PATH to the base subdirectories of the + already built zlib and OpenSSL libraries and from curl's root directory + run command: + + make borland-ssl-zlib + + libcurl library will be built in 'lib' subdirectory while curl tool + is built in 'src' subdirectory. In order to use libcurl library it is + advisable to modify compiler's configuration file bcc32.cfg located + in c:\Borland\BCC55\bin to reflect the location of libraries include + paths for example the '-I' line could result in something like: + + -I"c:\Borland\BCC55\include;c:\curl\include;c:\openssl\inc32" + + bcc3.cfg '-L' line could also be modified to reflect the location of + of libcurl library resulting for example: + + -L"c:\Borland\BCC55\lib;c:\curl\lib;c:\openssl\out32" + + In order to build sample program 'simple.c' from the docs\examples + subdirectory run following command from mentioned subdirectory: + + bcc32 simple.c libcurl.lib cw32mt.lib + + In order to build sample program simplessl.c an SSL enabled libcurl + is required, as well as the OpenSSL libeay32.lib and ssleay32.lib + libraries. + + + OTHER MSVC IDEs + --------------- + + If you use VC++, Borland or similar compilers. Include all lib source + files in a static lib "project" (all .c and .h files that is). + (you should name it libcurl or similar) + + Make the sources in the src/ drawer be a "win32 console application" + project. Name it curl. + + + Disabling Specific Protocols in Win32 builds + -------------------------------------------- + + The configure utility, unfortunately, is not available for the Windows + environment, therefore, you cannot use the various disable-protocol + options of the configure utility on this platform. + + However, you can use the following defines to disable specific + protocols: + + HTTP_ONLY disables all protocols except HTTP + CURL_DISABLE_FTP disables FTP + CURL_DISABLE_LDAP disables LDAP + CURL_DISABLE_TELNET disables TELNET + CURL_DISABLE_DICT disables DICT + CURL_DISABLE_FILE disables FILE + CURL_DISABLE_TFTP disables TFTP + CURL_DISABLE_HTTP disables HTTP + + If you want to set any of these defines you have the following + possibilities: + + - Modify lib/config-win32.h + - Modify lib/curl_setup.h + - Modify lib/Makefile.vc6 + - Add defines to Project/Settings/C/C++/General/Preprocessor Definitions + in the vc6libcurl.dsw/vc6libcurl.dsp Visual C++ 6 IDE project. + + + Using BSD-style lwIP instead of Winsock TCP/IP stack in Win32 builds + -------------------------------------------------------------------- + + In order to compile libcurl and curl using BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack + it is necessary to make definition of preprocessor symbol USE_LWIPSOCK + visible to libcurl and curl compilation processes. To set this definition + you have the following alternatives: + + - Modify lib/config-win32.h and src/config-win32.h + - Modify lib/Makefile.vc6 + - Add definition to Project/Settings/C/C++/General/Preprocessor Definitions + in the vc6libcurl.dsw/vc6libcurl.dsp Visual C++ 6 IDE project. + + Once that libcurl has been built with BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack support, + in order to use it with your program it is mandatory that your program + includes lwIP header file <lwip/opt.h> (or another lwIP header that includes + this) before including any libcurl header. Your program does not need the + USE_LWIPSOCK preprocessor definition which is for libcurl internals only. + + Compilation has been verified with lwIP 1.4.0 and contrib-1.4.0 from: + + http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lwip/lwip-1.4.0.zip + http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lwip/contrib-1.4.0.zip + + This BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack support must be considered experimental + given that it has been verified that lwIP 1.4.0 still needs some polish, + and libcurl might yet need some additional adjustment, caveat emptor. + + Important static libcurl usage note + ----------------------------------- + + When building an application that uses the static libcurl library, you must + add '-DCURL_STATICLIB' to your CFLAGS. Otherwise the linker will look for + dynamic import symbols. + + +Apple iOS and Mac OS X +====================== + On recent Apple operating systems, curl can be built to use Apple's + SSL/TLS implementation, Secure Transport, instead of OpenSSL. To build with + Secure Transport for SSL/TLS, use the configure option --with-darwinssl. (It + is not necessary to use the option --without-ssl.) This feature requires iOS + 5.0 or later, or OS X 10.5 ("Leopard") or later. + + When Secure Transport is in use, the curl options --cacert and --capath and + their libcurl equivalents, will be ignored, because Secure Transport uses + the certificates stored in the Keychain to evaluate whether or not to trust + the server. This, of course, includes the root certificates that ship with + the OS. The --cert and --engine options, and their libcurl equivalents, are + currently unimplemented in curl with Secure Transport. + + For OS X users: In OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), Apple made a major + overhaul to the Secure Transport API that, among other things, added + support for the newer TLS 1.1 and 1.2 protocols. To get curl to support + TLS 1.1 and 1.2, you must build curl on Mountain Lion or later, or by + using the equivalent SDK. If you set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET + environmental variable to an earlier version of OS X prior to building curl, + then curl will use the new Secure Transport API on Mountain Lion and later, + and fall back on the older API when the same curl binary is executed on + older cats. For example, running these commands in curl's directory in the + shell will build the code such that it will run on cats as old as OS X 10.6 + ("Snow Leopard") (using bash): + + export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.6" + ./configure --with-darwinssl + make + + +IBM OS/2 +======== + Building under OS/2 is not much different from building under unix. + You need: + + - emx 0.9d + - GNU make + - GNU patch + - ksh + - GNU bison + - GNU file utilities + - GNU sed + - autoconf 2.13 + + If you want to build with OpenSSL or OpenLDAP support, you'll need to + download those libraries, too. Dirk Ohme has done some work to port SSL + libraries under OS/2, but it looks like he doesn't care about emx. You'll + find his patches on: http://come.to/Dirk_Ohme + + If during the linking you get an error about _errno being an undefined + symbol referenced from the text segment, you need to add -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__ + in your definitions. + + If everything seems to work fine but there's no curl.exe, you need to add + -Zexe to your linker flags. + + If you're getting huge binaries, probably your makefiles have the -g in + CFLAGS. + + +VMS +=== + (The VMS section is in whole contributed by the friendly Nico Baggus) + + Curl seems to work with FTP & HTTP other protocols are not tested. (the + perl http/ftp testing server supplied as testing too cannot work on VMS + because vms has no concept of fork(). [ I tried to give it a whack, but + that's of no use. + + SSL stuff has not been ported. + + Telnet has about the same issues as for Win32. When the changes for Win32 + are clear maybe they'll work for VMS too. The basic problem is that select + ONLY works for sockets. + + Marked instances of fopen/[f]stat that might become a problem, especially + for non stream files. In this regard, the files opened for writing will be + created stream/lf and will thus be safe. Just keep in mind that non-binary + read/wring from/to files will have a records size limit of 32767 bytes + imposed. + + Stat to get the size of the files is again only safe for stream files & + fixed record files without implied CC. + + -- My guess is that only allowing access to stream files is the quickest + way to get around the most issues. Therefore all files need to to be + checked to be sure they will be stream/lf before processing them. This is + the easiest way out, I know. The reason for this is that code that needs to + report the filesize will become a pain in the ass otherwise. + + Exit status.... Well we needed something done here, + + VMS has a structured exist status: + | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0| + |1098|765432109876|5432109876543|210| + +----+------------+-------------+---+ + |Ctrl| Facility | Error code |sev| + +----+------------+-------------+---+ + + With the Ctrl-bits an application can tell if part or the whole message has + already been printed from the program, DCL doesn't need to print it again. + + Facility - basically the program ID.

Socket descriptors returned within the CURL library may exceed this, + resulting in memory faults/SIGSEGV crashes when passed into select(..) + calls using fd_set macros. + + A good all-round solution to this is to override the default when building + libcurl, by overriding CFLAGS during configure, example + # configure CFLAGS='-DFD_SETSIZE=64 -g -O2' + + +RISC OS +======= + The library can be cross-compiled using gccsdk as follows: + + CC=riscos-gcc AR=riscos-ar RANLIB='riscos-ar -s' ./configure \ + --host=arm-riscos-aof --without-random --disable-shared + make + + where riscos-gcc and riscos-ar are links to the gccsdk tools. + You can then link your program with curl/lib/.libs/libcurl.a + + +AmigaOS +======= + (This section was graciously brought to us by Diego Casorran) + + To build cURL/libcurl on AmigaOS just type 'make amiga' ... + + What you need is: (not tested with others versions) + + GeekGadgets / gcc 2.95.3 (http://www.geekgadgets.org/) + + AmiTCP SDK v4.3 (http://www.aminet.net/comm/tcp/AmiTCP-SDK-4.3.lha) + + Native Developer Kit (http://www.amiga.com/3.9/download/NDK3.9.lha) + + As no ixemul.library is required you will be able to build it for + WarpOS/PowerPC (not tested by me), as well a MorphOS version should be + possible with no problems. + + To enable SSL support, you need a OpenSSL native version (without ixemul), + you can find a precompiled package at http://amiga.sourceforge.net/OpenSSL/ + + +NetWare +======= + To compile curl.nlm / libcurl.nlm you need: + - either any gcc / nlmconv, or CodeWarrior 7 PDK 4 or later. + - gnu make and awk running on the platform you compile on; + native Win32 versions can be downloaded from: + http://www.gknw.net/development/prgtools/ + - recent Novell LibC SDK available from: + http://developer.novell.com/ndk/libc.htm + - or recent Novell CLib SDK available from: + http://developer.novell.com/ndk/clib.htm + - optional recent Novell CLDAP SDK available from: + http://developer.novell.com/ndk/cldap.htm + - optional zlib sources (static or dynamic linking with zlib.imp); + sources with NetWare Makefile can be obtained from: + http://www.gknw.net/mirror/zlib/ + - optional OpenSSL sources (version 0.9.8 or later build with BSD sockets); + you can find precompiled packages at: + http://www.gknw.net/development/ossl/netware/ + for CLIB-based builds OpenSSL 0.9.8h or later is required - earlier versions + don't support building with CLIB BSD sockets. + - optional SSH2 sources (version 0.17 or later); + + Set a search path to your compiler, linker and tools; on Linux make + sure that the var OSTYPE contains the string 'linux'; set the var + NDKBASE to point to the base of your Novell NDK; and then type + 'make netware' from the top source directory; other targets available + are 'netware-ssl', 'netware-ssl-zlib', 'netware-zlib' and 'netware-ares'; + if you need other combinations you can control the build with the + environment variables WITH_SSL, WITH_ZLIB, WITH_ARES, WITH_SSH2, and + ENABLE_IPV6; you can set LINK_STATIC=1 to link curl.nlm statically. + By default LDAP support is enabled, however currently you will need a patch + in order to use the CLDAP NDK with BSD sockets (Novell Bug 300237): + http://www.gknw.net/test/curl/cldap_ndk/ldap_ndk.diff + I found on some Linux systems (RH9) that OS detection didn't work although + a 'set | grep OSTYPE' shows the var present and set; I simply overwrote it + with 'OSTYPE=linux-rh9-gnu' and the detection in the Makefile worked... + Any help in testing appreciated! + Builds automatically created 8 times a day from current git are here: + http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/autobuilds/ + the status of these builds can be viewed at the autobuild table: + http://curl.haxx.se/dev/builds.html + + +eCos +==== + curl does not use the eCos build system, so you must first build eCos + separately, then link curl to the resulting eCos library.

Using the standard 'curl' executable from + within eCos means facing the limitation of the standard eCos C + startup code which does not allow passing arguments in main(). To + run 'curl' from eCos and have it do something useful, you will need + to either modify the eCos startup code to pass in some arguments, or + modify the curl application itself to retrieve its arguments from + some location set by the bootloader or hard-code them. + + Something like the following patch could be used to hard-code some + arguments. The MTAB_ENTRY line mounts a RAM disk as the root filesystem + (without mounting some kind of filesystem, eCos errors out all file + operations which curl does not take to well). The next section synthesizes + some command-line arguments for curl to use, in this case to direct curl + to read further arguments from a file. It then creates that file on the + RAM disk and places within it a URL to download: a file: URL that + just happens to point to the configuration file itself.

The '--prefix' parameter + specifies where cURL will be installed. If 'configure' completes + successfully, do 'make' and 'make install' as usual. + + In some cases, you may be able to simplify the above commands to as + little as: + + ./configure --host=ARCH-OS + + +REDUCING SIZE +============= + There are a number of configure options that can be used to reduce the + size of libcurl for embedded applications where binary size is an + important factor. First, be sure to set the CFLAGS variable when + configuring with any relevant compiler optimization flags to reduce the + size of the binary. For gcc, this would mean at minimum the -Os option, + and potentially the -march=X and -mdynamic-no-pic options as well, e.g. + + ./configure CFLAGS='-Os' ... + + Note that newer compilers often produce smaller code than older versions + due to improved optimization. + + Be sure to specify as many --disable- and --without- flags on the configure + command-line as you can to disable all the libcurl features that you + know your application is not going to need. Besides specifying the + --disable-PROTOCOL flags for all the types of URLs your application + will not use, here are some other flags that can reduce the size of the + library: + + --disable-ares (disables support for the C-ARES DNS library) + --disable-cookies (disables support for HTTP cookies) + --disable-crypto-auth (disables HTTP cryptographic authentication) + --disable-ipv6 (disables support for IPv6) + --disable-manual (disables support for the built-in documentation) + --disable-proxy (disables support for HTTP and SOCKS proxies) + --disable-verbose (eliminates debugging strings and error code strings) + --enable-hidden-symbols (eliminates unneeded symbols in the shared library) + --without-libidn (disables support for the libidn DNS library) + --without-ssl (disables support for SSL/TLS) + --without-zlib (disables support for on-the-fly decompression) + + The GNU compiler and linker have a number of options that can reduce the + size of the libcurl dynamic libraries on some platforms even further. + Specify them by providing appropriate CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables on the + configure command-line, e.g. + CFLAGS="-Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections \ + -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables" \ + LDFLAGS="-Wl,-s -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,--gc-sections" + + Be sure also to strip debugging symbols from your binaries after + compiling using 'strip' (or the appropriate variant if cross-compiling). + If space is really tight, you may be able to remove some unneeded + sections of the shared library using the -R option to objcopy (e.g. the + .comment section). + + Using these techniques it is possible to create a basic HTTP-only shared + libcurl library for i386 Linux platforms that is only 106 KiB in size, and + an FTP-only library that is 108 KiB in size (as of libcurl version 7.27.0, + using gcc 4.6.3). + + You may find that statically linking libcurl to your application will + result in a lower total size than dynamically linking. + + Note that the curl test harness can detect the use of some, but not all, of + the --disable statements suggested above. Use will cause tests relying on + those features to fail. The test harness can be manually forced to skip + the relevant tests by specifying certain key words on the runtests.pl + command line. Following is a list of appropriate key words: + + --disable-cookies !cookies + --disable-crypto-auth !HTTP\ Digest\ auth !HTTP\ proxy\ Digest\ auth + --disable-manual !--manual + --disable-proxy !HTTP\ proxy !proxytunnel !SOCKS4 !SOCKS5 + + +PORTS +===== + This is a probably incomplete list of known hardware and operating systems + that curl has been compiled for.
