Hi!

I'm CC:ing this reply to the Curl mailing list, so even more
people can help, and to make sure that this mail gets archived.

First of all, I am sorry to say that Windows isn't our primary
platform. We lack a lot of support for Windows.

I don't have Borland C++ 5.5, so I can't reproduce your first
problem. However, if you haven't made any changes to the source
code, and just need the executable, you can download it from
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/www/utilities/curl/curl-7.8-win32-nossl.zip

It seems, though, that you have a problem with the swrite() macro.
I can see that your makefile sets the include path to D:/curl/include
but you seem to be building in the C:/curl-7.8 directory. Do these
really contain the same version? If not, try again with the include
path set to C:/curl-7.8/include.

I can also see that you are mentioning c:/curl/lib. Please try to
use the same directory tree for all parts of the build.

About your second problem, I will try to answer your questions:

> 1) Should I compile c:\curl-7.8\lib\ ? to generate libcurl.lib?

Yes.

No one seems to have bothered to make a win32 makefile for these examples.
I make a feeble attempt to create a makefile for you, and to adapt the
ftpget.c file for win32 for you. I will send them to you in a separate mail,
to avoid filling up the mailboxes of all the subscribers to the list.

OK. I didn't try to create a VC6 project (I hate that IDE GUI stuff),
so I ran VCVARS32.BAT (from the VC98/bin directory) and then ran
nmake -f makefile.vc6 to build libcurl.lib. You're not supposed to
build a curl.dll file. Something must be wrong with your VC6 project.

I hope my answers helped you at least a little bit. Please join the
Curl mailing list if you have more questions. Look at
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/subscribe.html to see how to do that.
