Re^3: Can't call libcurl with Inline::C on Windows by syphilis (Archbishop) on Nov 19, 2019 at 02:54 UTC
Net:::Curl is only for Linux I've successfully built Net-Curl-0.37 on Windows in the past (for perls 5.8.8 through to 5.24.x). I haven't checked to see whether there's a later version of Net-Curl, and I haven't bothered building it on later versions of perl. I can see that I had to hack the Makefile.PL a bit (I could provide details if there's any interest), and I also needed the following patch to Curl.xs: `--- Curl.xs_orig 2015-06-22 19:33:33 +1000 +++ Curl.xs 2015-06-22 19:51:00 +1000 @@ -17,6 +17,15 @@ #include "perl.h" #include "XSUB.h" +#ifdef __MINGW32__ +#undef fread +#undef fwrite +#endif + #include <curl/curl.h> #include <curl/easy.h> #include <curl/multi.h>` [download] Not so sure that it passed its test suite entirely, but it was certainly generally usable.

Hi Rob, do you try the newest Net::Curl with perl 5.30? I've tried to install Net::Curl on windows as your suggested on github, but failed. the Makefile could build successfully, and not PerlSIO complain, but when running gmake, it complain not reference to zlibversion etc. Makefile.PL: #CCFLAGS => $devel_cflags .

Re^5: Can't call libcurl with Inline::C on Windows by syphilis (Archbishop) on Nov 19, 2019 at 03:45 UTC
... it complain not reference to zlibversion etc Looks like you're trying to build against a static libcurl (libcurl.a). It's probably easier to build against libcurl.dll.a import library, assuming you have such a file. If you're lucky, it might be as simple as renaming libcurl.a to (eg) libcurl.a_static && then copying libcurl.dll.a to libcurl.a. When I've built Net-Curl-0.37 against static libraries, I've had to specifically link to: `-lcurl -lrtmp -lwinmm -lcares -lwldap32 -lidn -liconv -lssh2 -lws2_32 + -lgdi32 -lssl -lcrypto -lcrypt32 -lz` [download] I'll try to build latest Net-Curl with perl-5.30 later today, and see how it goes for me.
