Hello,

I am attempting to compile curl into perl with strawberry perl. This is not an automated process at the moment and in the README.win32 contains the following:

Installation on Windows need to be done manually, by editing Makefile.PL.

1. Specify your curl include directory on the line "my @include = qw()".
2. Specify the following parameters on the line below, where <DIR> is your curl directory like this:

my ($cflags,$ldflags,$lflags) = ('-I"<DIR>\\include"', '-L"<DIR>\\lib"','-lcurl -lcurldll');

<DIR> can be for example: "E:\\Perldev\\downloader\\curl-7.18.2-devel-mingw32" (without quotes);
3. Save Makefile.PL.
4. Execute "perl Makefile.PL";
5. Execute "nmake" ( you may need nmake from Mircosoft, which can be downloaded from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084 );
6. Execute "nmake install".

I have adjusted to:

my @includes = qw('c:\\strawberry\\curl\\include');
my ($cflags,$lflags, $ldflags) = ('-Ic:\\strawberry\\curl\\include','-Lc:\\strawberry\\curl\\lib','-lcurllib');

When I run dmake using:

libcurl-7.19.3-win32-ssl-msvc

I receive the following:

Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lcurllib

I am guessing from the line in the README.win32

<DIR> can be for example: "E:\\Perldev\\downloader\\curl-7.18.2-devel-mingw32" (without quotes);

that this is because I have the wrong package and that I might need ming32 versions even though
I am using the microsoft compilers?

Thanks,
Tim
