Hi Ray,
I work for a factory as a side gig, and I'm in charge of compiling new
cURL versions for their Windows CE 6 and 7 based systems which are used
for metal fabrication and other related tasks (such as a laser cutter).
A couple of weeks ago, I compiled cURL 8.11.1 (and it's dependencies)
using Visual Studio 2008 - but it did require some patching. The systems
use libcurl for HTTP transfers to an internal web server to download
designs and schematics and related files for the machines that they
control. The application used to use SMBv1, but that's no longer
available in modern Windows versions due to security issues so they
brought me in as a contractor to resolve the issue (which I did via
libcurl).
If I have some time over the weekend or early next week I will boot up
my Windows VM and find the necessary files and will write up some
instructions if desired. Do you also want me to submit PRs for the
patches that I needed to use?
