Hello team,
Is anyone building or using a modern (lib)curl on TPF?
Back in September 2010 we did the last "confirmed working" change to curl that
builds on TPF (commit 7e1a45e224e57).
I did find the book "z/TPF Application Modernization using Standard and Open
Middleware" [1], published in 2013, that mentions using libcurl on this
platform for HTTP. This is the most modern reference I could find to curl on
TPF.
TPF is a fairly different OS and environment (compared to most others that we
support building curl for), based on the changes we have for it. This leads me
to suspect that a decade of improvements and source code changes are more or
less guaranteed to have broken the TPF build a long time ago without anyone
ever saying anything or fixing it.
(Yes, I'm on an old-platforms cleanup mission.)
