Don't worry about the warnings.

Then you're set!

Yep. The /I "../include" is supposed to point out the
include directory in the curl distribution (curl-7.8/include).
You can just as well set it to the absolute path, like:

/D "C:/curl-7.8/include"

or whatever.

This makefile assumes that the ftpget.c file is located
in the curl-7.8/docs/examples directory. If you moved it
you must change the include path as well.

It does not have anything to do with the .lib-files, it
is the .h-files. Just change the include path and it will
work.

Good luck!
