in thread Can't call libcurl with Inline::C on Windows

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>
Not so sure that it passed its test suite entirely, but it was certainly generally usable.

Cheers,
Rob

    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.

    I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction

      ... 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
      I'll try to build latest Net-Curl with perl-5.30 later today, and see how it goes for me.

      Cheers,
      Rob
        I'll try to build latest Net-Curl with perl-5.30 later today, and see how it goes for me.

        Here's how it went for me.

        First up, I added the location (C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\bin) of the libcurl dll to my path:
        set PATH=%PATH%;C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\bin
        That, of course, also makes a whole lot of other stuff (such as pkg-config) available.

        Then I conceal the curl static lib (C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\lib\libcurl.a) by changing its extension to ".a_hide".
        This ensures that the Net-Curl-0.41 build links to the import lib (C:\_64\msys64\mingw64\lib\libcurl.dll.a).
        Next, run the Makefile.PL:
        C:\sisyphusion\Net-Curl-0.41>perl Makefile.PL 'which' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. which failed: Found libcurl version 7.65.0 Reading C:/_64/msys64/mingw64/include/curl/curl.h (gcc -E -IC:/_64/msy +s64/mingw6 4/include C:/_64/msys64/mingw64/include/curl/curl.h) Skipping '#define CURL_STRICTER': does not define a symbol at Makefile +.PL line 3 18, <H> line 34.

        The build has succeeded (for some definition of "succeeded") but there are some warnings, and the module is unloadable:

        I don't know why that happens, or how to fix it.
        The compiler warning about conversion from 'long long unsigned int' to 'int' rings an alarm bell.
        And I see places in the generated Curl.c where 'IV' is cast to 'int', which creates a cacophony of alarm bells.

        Cheers,
        Rob
