hmm, ok, it might be a long way until you are ready to compile, depending on what you all want to have:
- you need to compile zlib first if you want zlib support
- you need to compile openssl first if you want to have SSL support.

you need a Win32 compiler; I'd suggest you use MingW32 which is free and compact, with only less than 10MB you get a fully working Win32 native compiler.

also, since I was just yesterday anyway on the MSVC stuff, I've compiled a libcurl.dll with zlib and ssl support:

please try if that works for you ...

Guenter.
