you always need -lcurl to tell the linker where to find the otherwise
unresolved symbols - so at compile time its always mandatory.
However if you mean that you want to have an independent binary which
works without need to install libcurl then try this:
- configure / compile libcurl with --disable-shared
- compile your own app pointing to this libcurl
this should result in a statically linked app which has no dependency to
libcurl.so.
