If I compile the library alone it compiles. The files created include
timeval.obj, timeval.str, strtoofft.obj and strtoofft.str and all are
located in the library debug folder.

Can you think of a reason why these would not be linked when I try to build
cURL?

Starting from the beginning, here are the steps I am using:

Visual Studio:

- Make a new win32 console application called cURL.
- Unzip the cURL files and folders (src,lib,include etc) to this new folder.
- Add all "cURL/src" .h & .c files to the project using
"Project-AddToProject-Files".
- Add lib path /I "lib" using "Project-Settings-C++-PreprocessorDefinitions"
- Add src path /I "src" using "Project-Settings-C++-PreprocessorDefinitions"
- Add include path /I "include" using
"Project-Settings-C++-PreprocessorDefinitions"
- Add include path /i "include" using
"Project-Settings-Resources-ProjectOptions"
- Add lib path /libpath:"lib\Debug" using
"Project-Settings-Link-ProjectOptions"
- Add libcurl.lib using "Project-Settings-Link-ProjectOptions"
- Add /D "CURL_STATICLIB" using "Project-Settings-C++-PreprocessorDefinitions"
- Add library project to cURL workspace using "Project-InsertProject"
cURL\lib\curllib.dsp
- Add librbry dependancy to cURL using "Project-Dependencies" then select
cURL and check curllib.
- Set the active project to curllib using "Project-SetActiveProject"
- Build the project using "Build-RebuildAll"
- Set the active project to cURL using "Project-SetActiveProject"
- Build the project using "Build-RebuildAll"

I get a few warnings when compiling curllib but it looks like lib/timeval.c
and lib/strtoofft.c are compiling.

But I still get link errors compiling cURL.
The errors I get compiling cURL are as follows:
--------------------Configuration: cURL - Win32 Debug--------------------
