libcurl is written in C, not C++, so it will be difficult if not impossible to
compile it with a C++ compiler unaltered. You can use the curlpp wrapper, but
you'll still need to compile libcurl with a C compiler somehow. I'm not
familiar with what code blocks is, so I can't comment more specifically.
