This is not the best forum to learn how to use your C compiler. I would advice
that you first get some basic knowledge in how it works before you attempt to
use build applications using libcurl with it.

-L should identify the directory in which you installed libcurl and -l is the
lib to use (which is usually without the 'lib' in the name).

In most cases you will need to link with more libs than just libcurl.
"curl-config --libs" tells you the full set.
