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 Before I dive into it, I was just wondering if anyone else had had any greater success. 7.75.0 seems quite outdated for something with security implications.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.
<sigh> there was definitely an exe when I built it, make install just decided not to copy it over I guess.
https://smedley.id.au/curl-8.11.1-os2-20250104b.zip is refreshed now.
;-)
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).
My first build was with stock configure from the tar.xz
I then re-ran autotools... (man I have autotools)
aclocal
autoheader
automake
libtoolize --force
autoconf
and re-ran configure to get the DLL.
Clearly, I need to do some reading. I use autotools once in a blue moon (and that's probably more frequently than I really do). Where is it written that these are the tools to use in this order?
I had to run:
automake --add-missing
Then, I had to specify a TLS backend:
./configure --with-openssl
and:
yum install libpsl-devel (oops)
Ended up with:
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'
and config.log ends with:
configure: exit 1
:-(
Now to go through the log and figure out what really ran off the rails.
Meanwhile, I'll give your exe a spin.
Thanks!
