Umm, nevermind, fixed by adding the missing lib to the Makefile.
However, there's another issue.
 
VC8 by default generates manifest files for the executables. Default
behavior in MSVC is to embed the manifest into the resulting executable.
This is not done in curl Makefiles for VC8, resulting in a useless .exe
in case you don't distribute the manifest alongside.
 
Could that be fixed? (I fixed that internally, but still)
 
Thanks.
 
Vladimir

Subject: curl & MSVC 8

Hello,
 
Trying to compile curl with MSVC 8, getting some unresolved externals..
Wonder what I'm doing wrong? I saw some people had the same issue on the
mailinglist, but the problem wasn't addressed.

Would appreciate any hints.
Thanks in advance.
