Building via IDE Project Files
==============================
This document describes how to compile, build and install curl and libcurl
from sources using an IDE based development tool such as Visual Studio.
Project files are currently available for Visual C++ v6.0 to v12.0. The
following directory structure has been used to cater for this:
somedirectory\
|_curl
|_projects
|_<platform>
|_<ide>
|_lib
|_src
This structure allows for side-by-side compilation of curl on the same
machine using different versions of a given compiler (for example VC8, VC9
and VC10) and allows for your own application or product to be compiled
against those variants of libcurl for example.
Note: Typically this side-by-side compilation is generally only required
when a library is being compiled against dynamic runtime libraries.
Dependencies
============
The projects files also support build configurations that require third
party dependencies such as openssl and ssh2. If you wish to support these,
you will also need to download and compile those libraries as well.
To support compilation of these libraries using different versions of
compilers, the following directory structure has been used for both the
output of curl and libcurl as well as these dependencies.
somedirectory\
|_curl
| |_ build
| |_<architecture>
| |_<ide>
| |_<configuration>
| |_lib
| |_src
|
|_openssl
| |_ build
| |_<architecture>
| |_VC <version>
| |_<configuration>
|
|_libssh2
|_ build
|_<architecture>
|_VC <version>
|_<configuration>
As OpenSSL doesn't support side-by-side compilation when using different
versions of Visual Studio a build helper batch file has been provided to
assist with this. Please run "build-openssl -help" for usage details.
Building with Visual C++
========================
To build with VC++, you will of course have to first install VC++ which is
part of Visual Studio.
If you are building with VC6 then you will also need the February 2003
Edition of the Platform SDK which can be downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12261
Once you have VC++ installed you should launch the application and open one
of the solution or workspace files.
Whilst files are provided for both libcurl and the curl command line tool as
well as a configuration that includes both, it is recommend that you use the
all-in-one configuration.
Notes
=====
The following keywords have been used in the directory hierarchy:
<platform> - The platform (For example: Windows)
<ide> - The IDE (For example: VC6, VC10, BCC5)
<architecture> - The platform architecture (For example: Win32, Win64)
<configuration> - The target configuration (For example: DLL Debug,
LIB Release - LIB OpenSSL)
TODO
====
These project files are a recent addition to the curl source code and as such
are not 100% complete. This is a list of things that are still todo:
* Support zlib
* Support WinIDN
* Use of static runtime libraries
* Generate *.vcxproj.filters files for VC10, VC11 and VC12
* Add the Test Suite components
* Support for other development IDEs
Any additional help would be appreciated ;-)
