Trying to build 8.11.1 (latest), I didn't get very far (nothing useful). Before I dive into it, I was just wondering if anyone else had had any greater success. 7.75.0 seems quite outdated for something with security implications.

I got configure to run, let's see if I get a curl.exe

Untested.... https://smedley.id.au/tmp/curl-8.11.1-os2-20250104.zip

:-D

Somehow, every time I ask a question here, someone actually does the work for me. The upside is I get what I want, but the downside is that my own skills don't get any better. LOL

Thanks, Paul. I'll give this a whirl right now and see what we get.

If you prefer... https://smedley.id.au/curl-8.11.1-os2-20250104b.zip has a curl4.dll rather than being statically linked, so should be able to be used with other apps.

Hmmm... Neither package seems to have an exe, however.

What issues were you having building it?

Perhaps the setup is not what I'm getting. Seeing configure.ac in the root of the source tree, I ran autoconf, first. This got me:

# autoconf
configure.ac:24: error: possibly undefined macro: dnl
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:43: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE
configure.ac:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.ac:73: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
configure.ac:97: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_RESULT
configure.ac:617: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_COND_IF
configure.ac:677: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE

Not taking the time to research any of that, I forged ahead, now that I had a configure script, I forged ahead, without any options:

# ./configure
./configure: 2743: ./configure: XC_OVR_ZZ50: not found
./configure: 2744: ./configure: XC_OVR_ZZ60: not found
./configure: 2745: ./configure: CURL_OVERRIDE_AUTOCONF: not found
./configure: 2753: ./configure: AM_MAINTAINER_MODE: not found
./configure: 2756: ./configure: CURL_CHECK_OPTION_DEBUG: not found
./configure: 2757: ./configure: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

At that point, I figured I'd ask if there was a newer build available. :-)

I guess I could disable some stuff to get this working. I just haven't taken the time to look any further (yet).
