I'm trying to build libcurl libraries for OpenVMS (both Alpha and Itanium)
using latest available cURL sources (version 7.30.0 from http://curl.haxx.se
).
The binary distribution works fine, but I need a C/C++ callable interface to
eliminate needless spawning of CURL.EXE.

I extracted the archive to my personal directory:

  DSA0:[BH.CURL_7_30_0]

Executing the @build_vms.com script from the [.PACKAGE.VMS] subdirectory
yields:

  CC (opts) $1$DKC0:[BH.CURL-7_30_0.LIB]ASYN-ARES.C;1

  #include "config_vms.h"
  .^
  %CC-F-NOINCLFILEF, Cannot find file "config_vms.h" specified in
  #include directive.
  at line number 1438 in file
  $1$DKC0:[BH.curl-7_30_0.packages.vms.ALPHA]CURL_CONFIG.H;1

The config_vms.h was created but resides in DSA0:[BH.CURL-7_30_0].

As a work-around... I copied the config_vms.h file into the
[.PACKAGES.VMS.ALPHA] directory but the build then fails with:

  CC (opts) $1$DKC0:[BH.CURL-7_30_0.LIB]ASYN-ARES.C;1

  #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>
  .^
  %CC-F-NOINCLFILEF, Cannot find file <gnutls/gnutls.h> specified in
#include directive.
  at line number 108 in file $1$DKC0:[BH.curl-7_30_0.lib]urldata.h;1

For my current needs I don't require SSL or TLS support. I see from the
build_vms.com script that one could use NOSSL, however there is no option to
turn off GNUTLS (or any other possible GNU libraries)

I checked the archive and the last traffic circa Mar 2013 implies
outstanding
problems with the VMS build had been addressed. Any suggestions / guidance
would be appreciated.
