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 Windows Platform SDK which can be downloaded from:
|
|
|
|
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12261
|
|
|
|
If you require support for Internationalized Domain Names via Windows IDN
|
|
then you will need either:
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) Mitigation APIs:
|
|
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=734
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft Windows SDK Update for Windows Vista:
|
|
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23719
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or above
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Running DLL based configurations
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
If you are a developer and plan to run the curl tool from Visual Studio (eg
|
|
you are debugging) with any third-party libraries (such as OpenSSL, wolfSSL
|
|
or LibSSH2) then you will need to add the search path of these DLLs to the
|
|
configuration's PATH environment. To do that:
|
|
|
|
* Open the 'curl-all.sln' or 'curl.sln' solutions
|
|
|
|
* Right-click on the 'curl' project and select Properties
|
|
|
|
* Navigate to 'Configuration Properties > Debugging > Environment'
|
|
|
|
* Add PATH='Path to DLL';C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;
|
|
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
|
|
|
|
... where 'Path to DLL` is the configuration specific path. For example the
|
|
following configurations in Visual Studio 2010 might be:
|
|
|
|
DLL Debug - DLL OpenSSL (Win32):
|
|
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\openssl\build\Win32\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
|
|
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
|
|
|
|
DLL Debug - DLL OpenSSL (x64):
|
|
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\openssl\build\Win64\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
|
|
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
|
|
|
|
DLL Debug - DLL wolfSSL (Win32):
|
|
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\wolfssl\build\Win32\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
|
|
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
|
|
|
|
DLL Debug - DLL wolfSSL (x64):
|
|
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\wolfssl\build\Win64\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
|
|
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
|
|
|
|
If you are using a configuration that uses multiple third-party library DLLs
|
|
(such as DLL Debug - DLL OpenSSL - DLL LibSSH2) then 'Path to DLL' will need
|
|
to contain the path to both of these.
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
If you are using the source code from the git repository, rather than a
|
|
release archive or nightly build, you will need to generate the project
|
|
files. Please run "generate -help" for usage details.
|
|
|
|
Should you wish to help out with some of the items on the TODO list, or
|
|
find bugs in the project files that need correcting, and would like to
|
|
submit updated files back then please note that, whilst the solution files
|
|
can be edited directly, the templates for the project files (which are
|
|
stored in the git repositoty) will need to be modified rather than the
|
|
generated project files that Visual Studio uses.
|
|
|
|
Legacy Windows and SSL
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Some of the project configurations allow the use of WinSSL (specifically
|
|
SChannel from Windows SSPI), the native SSL library in Windows. However,
|
|
WinSSL in Windows <= XP is unable to connect to servers that no longer
|
|
support the legacy handshakes and algorithms used by those versions. If
|
|
you will be using curl in one of those earlier versions of Windows you
|
|
should choose another SSL backend such as 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
|
|
* Use of static runtime libraries
|
|
* Generate *.vcxproj.filters files for VC10, VC11 and VC12
|
|
* Add the Test Suite components
|
|
* Support for other development IDEs
|
|
* Add PATH environment variables for third-party DLLs
|
|
|
|
Any additional help would be appreciated ;-) |
