Hi everybody,

What I want to do is compile libcurl library for my target platform: an arm microcontroller from NXP based on a arm-cortex-m4, 32bit, flash ram and flash rom are not a concern.I need to do this beacause I need to use an other library which requests an https-client "object" providing a suitable interface. So whilst I am "only" in the need to provide it an https-client, that library do provide not only an interface but also an implementation of this client using libcurl. So at a first glance it seems that cross-compile libcurl will worth the work.
-As an environment system, I can use either windows7(64bit) or ubuntu 16(64bit).-The toolchain is the arm-none-eabi one, but NXP has made a redlib.spec custom C library that is used in C projects (it is passed to compiler trough -spec=redlib.spec; see https://community.nxp.com/thread/389152%c2 )-As a cryptoghraphic library I will use mbedTLS.-libcurl version curl-7.55.0
AFAIK libcurl does not need an OS to run, but a TCP-IP stack that can provide unix-like network api. Morover I read that with the proper optimization it has a little foot-print.
I think I have detected two distinct ways to try to achive my goal.
I here try to well describe them both, guessing to collect as much advaices as I can from you.

1) Linux env(to semplify stuff). Build libcurl from sources using make build, preparing a cross-compile environment for make configure step and use the LWIP stack.
2) In mcuExpresso IDE, which is actually the IDE of NXP, a flavour of  Eclipse, import the libcurl source code, do some code tailoring keeping only the code that I really need. Let the IDE do the compilation.

If you have any suggestion about any other ways, please do inform me.

Till now I tried only point 1) with no success.
To accomplish it I did the following: prepared a library (libProject_prova1.a) from freeRtos + LWIP + drivers sources. Then I used libProject_prova1.a  in the make configuration step as the library to link against in order to let libcurl find all the network and 'system' api it needs along with the redlib.spec .
What I obtained is:

I dont understand where the problem is.The configuration script is:

If I procede with the 2) way, I would ask how can I set/unset all the features that I can choose using directives like -without-ssl --with-mbedtls --enable-static--disable-shared in the configure step?
From whitch file do I need to start to tailor libcurl to fit my needs?
