Hi I'm trying to install Curl : http://curl.haxx.se/download.html , Dev C++ and so far not achieved, could someone explain how to install Curl in Dev C++?
Select the "Path" variable in System Variables, and click Edit. In the Edit environment variable dialog box, click New and add the path to the curl.exe file. Example: C:\curl. Keep clicking OK to accept the change and close the dialog box.
First copy ..\curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw64\include
folder from downloaded package into C:\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\include
then copy libraries file (.o,.a,.lib)
that are inside ..\curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw64\lib64
folder into C:\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\lib
then compile very first program , don't forget to link libcurl.a
:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl)
{
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://google.com");
/* example.com is redirected, so we tell libcurl to follow redirection */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
/* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* Check for errors */
if(res != CURLE_OK)
fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
curl_easy_strerror(res));
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
return 0;
}
I am using Dev-c++ 5.11 (gcc 4.9.2)
and curl-7.40.0-devel-mingw64
.
