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 Before I dive into it, I was just wondering if anyone else had had any greater success. 7.75.0 seems quite outdated for something with security implications.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.


It seems that any option other than -V or --help returns the same error, e.g.:

[j:\]curl -O https://smedley.id.au/tmp/curl-8.11.1-os2-20250104b.zip
curl: (43) A libcurl function was given a bad argument

I can confirm that the matching dll is being loaded.
