hi Travis

im not sure on your query but here are the things which i came across
while building an ftp application using libcurl on windows visual
studio 2008

ive downloaded curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32 and extracted in to "F:/"
directory. u can choose any directory of your choice. i would say this
as <install-dir>

for header files
"Properties->C/C++->Additonal Include Directory" should be set to
"<install-dir>/curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32/include"

for just compilation this should help. However u might need to have
additional static library references for linking your application code
with curl

the static libraries should be given in
"Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies". In my case these
libraries are "libcurl.a" and "libcurldll.a".
The look up path for these libraries is added to the
"Properties->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories". In my
case the look up directory path is
""<install-dir>/curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32/lib"

if every thing is proper, then linking should go through..

when u try to run the application, the curl looks for run time
libraries or dlls. curl dlls are located in
""<install-dir>/curl-7.21.7-devel-mingw32/bin". im not sure how i can
specify dll paths in vs2008, alternatively u can copy all of the dlls
into the the directory where the exe for your project is getting
created.

i think the above should help

regards
arun

Apologizing doesn't mean that you are wrong and the other person is
right. It only means that you value the relationship much more than
your EGO
