This is now the fourth way I know of to build libcurl on Windows using
Visual Studio. Is this way supported? These are the older makefiles, no?

In this case it should be in lib\release-winssl so check
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\lib\release-winssl. Don't link to it just from
the lib dir like C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\lib\libcurl.lib because if you
build multiple configurations some other configuration could end up
overwriting that file.

Speaking of multiple configurations, you have built a static release
library and if you want to use Debug configurations you will need to
link to a static debug library. There doesn't seem to be a debug-winssl
though.

You could instead build the DLL for both debug and release using the
newer makefiles:

Open a Visual Studio 2008 command prompt
cd C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\winbuild
nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll VC=9 ENABLE_IDN=no
nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll VC=9 ENABLE_IDN=no DEBUG=yes

IDN is disabled because VS2008 default SDK doesn't have IdnToAscii or
IdnToUnicode in normaliz.lib. You'll end up with:

C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-debug-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl

For your x86 release configuration(s) do this:

Configuration Properties > Debugging > Environment
PATH=C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\bin;%PATH%

C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\include;

Linker > General > Additional Library Directories
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\lib;

Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies
libcurl.lib;

For your x86 debug configuration(s) do this:

Configuration Properties > Debugging > Environment
PATH=C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-debug-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\bin;%PATH%

C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-debug-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\include;

Linker > General > Additional Library Directories
C:\curlPrj\curl-7.39.0\builds\libcurl-vc9-x86-debug-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl\lib;

Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies
libcurl_debug.lib;
