A little more on my build problem:

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else had had any greater success. 7.75.0 seems quite outdated for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.

I thought that dnl was a built-in M4 macro.

I have:

autoconf-2.69-6.oc00.noarch
autoconf-archive-2019.01.06-1.oc00.noarch
m4-1.4.18-1.oc00.pentium4

I don't know enough about M4 to know how to get it to show me what it
has in the way of macros. Is 1.4.18 too old (2016)?

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

zz50-xc-ovr.m4 and zz60-xc-ovr.m4 are present in the m4 directory. Path
issue? That would seem odd, but I haven't closely examined configure to
see if perhaps that is in error.

./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 ")")

The syntax error seems to tell me that something prior to this is being
misinterpreted (no wonder). So, again, I suspect it's my build setup
which is lacking.
