Instruction not clear

Hi,

I want to use libcurl in my c++ projects. I use code block under windows 7 (64 bit). Code block uses Mingw tool chain which is in my c:\mingw

Normally I include my regular library as such:

#include <stdio.h>

Most example state to use libcurl as such:

#include <curl/curl.h>

I downloaded the zip file "curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw32.zip" and unzipped it. It contains couple files and folders (namely a bin, include, lib, samples). My question is "what now?" It's unzipped, and I want to use it in my project. Obviously I'm not an expert in intuition or mind reading, and there are no clear explanations (or obviously I didn't find them). The read me specify and email for questions and there I am. In more details, what should I do with the unzipped files/folders? How do I link them to say that #include <curl/...> will find it?
I did add a global variable in code block as such: name is "curl" and base is "c:\curl-7.34.0-devel-mingw32" which is where the zip was unzipped. I'm asking something simple, so you understand I am not a guru.

Thank you.

Mathieu
