./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.
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
+ If you use MSVC 6 it is required that you use the February 2003 edition of
+ the 'Platform SDK' which can be downloaded from:
+
+ http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12261
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
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.
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
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 vs/vc6/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 'vs/vc6/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 'vs/vc6/src' subdir.
-
- These reference VC++ 6.0 configurations are generated using the dynamic CRT.
+ MSVC IDE
+ --------
- 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.
+ A fairly comprehensive set of Visual Studio project files are available for
+ v6.0 through v12.0 and are located in the projects folder to allow proper
+ building of both the libcurl library as well as the curl tool.
- 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'.
+ For more information about these projects and building via Visual Studio
+ please see the README file located in the projects folder.
