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.vc 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.)
Defaults 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
ENABLE_SSPI=<yes or no> - Enable SSPI support, defaults to yes
ENABLE_IPV6=<yes or no> - Enable IPv6, defaults to yes
ENABLE_IDN=<yes or no> - Enable use of Windows IDN APIs, defaults to yes
Requires Windows Vista or later, or installation from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AD6158D7-DDBA-416A-9109-07607425A815
ENABLE_WINSSL=<yes or no> - Enable native Windows SSL support, defaults to yes
GEN_PDB=<yes or no> - Generate Program Database (debug symbols for release build)
DEBUG=<yes or no> - Debug builds
MACHINE=<x86 or x64> - Target architecture (default is x86)
