Those compiler warnings are not the reason you experience problems. If you
think those warnings are serious, please post a patch to the mailing list and
we'll have them fixed in the next release!

This is because the lib/Makefile.b32 file isn't up to date. Add 'strtok.c' to
the SOURCES list in there, or get the updated one from CVS. Then recompile.

Yes.

You should probably:

 1. Compile win32socket.c
 2. Edit ftpget.c to invoke win32_init() before any libcurl function is used.
 3. Compile ftpget.c
 4. Link win32socket.o, ftpget.o and libcurl.lib into one final executable
 5. Run the executable.

I think it is just a name issue. It is the same thing.

The Makefile.example is a generic makefile for all platforms. You need to
tweak it to fit your own.

libcurl.lib should always be built, yes.

The Makefile.example is a generic makefile using standard make syntax. That
could be called unix format if you want to.

That's just an example makefile, it isn't made to fit all particular cases.

No, but I'd appriciate one. I noticed just now that the functions in
win32sockets.c are made static, which seems like a silly thing to do...

*Expecting* speedy replies from a bunch of volounteers helping you for free
is rude and bad manners, especially since you didn't post your questions in
the proper forum.
