I personally don't take part on stackoverflow as I have struggled with the constraints and limitations on the very few replies and suggestions I have made there but I will endeavour to read your post.

You have several choices for building under Windows with 32-bit and 64-bit support:

* Native Visual Studio project files - In my opinion this is the simplest method and these can be found in curl\projects for VC6 to 14 and support a number of 32-bit and 64-bit configurations supporting static and dynamic builds and libraries such as Windows SSl, OpenSSL, wolfSSL and libssh2. Unfortunately they don't support zlib at present.

* cmake - I don't know too much about libcurls support for cmake. I have used it on other projects but don't know how extensive the configurations are for libcurl.

* Visual Studio nmake via the curl\winbuild makefiles. These are probably the most extensive way to compile under Windows but can be a bit cumbersome especially if you are working with curl source code on a regular basis.

* Visual Studio nmake via the older makefile.vc makefiles - My Windows autobuilds on the development page use these but these can be more cumbersome that the winbuild makefiles.

* Borland make - Useful if you use Borland but again I don't know how extensive the support here is.

* The Linux based configure scripts using platforms such as Cygwin and MSys - Ideal for those who are familiar with Linux based environments.

* Pre-built binaries available from the downloads page - limited configurations available.

Kind Regards
