Dependencies:

  - Cygwin

  - OpenSSL 0.9.6b-2+ (*)

  (*) cURL can be built without SSL support:  ./configure --without-ssl

  (*) cURL can be built without SSL support, see below for details

Canonical Homepage and Downloads:

  CVS at: <srctop>/packages/Win32/cygwin/

Build Instructions (as distributed via cygwin's setup.exe):

  (NOTE: as of curl 7.9.1, compiles/tests 100% cleanly OOTB under cygwin)

  Download the source, unpack it to a location of your choosing, and then:

Build Instructions (to recompile from the cygwin source tarball):

  ---STANDARD (with SSL) RELEASE---

  Download the source (either the official release or the cygwin version),

  unpack it (done for you if using setup.exe), then:

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr 

  $ make

  $ make test    # optional, requires perl

  $ make test    # optional

  $ make install # (*)

  (*) LibTool 1.4.2 had a bug related to cygwin's use of ".exe" extensions,

        http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/libtool/2001-September/005549.html

      The copy of ltmain.sh that is distributed with cURL includes this patch.

  As of curl 7.9.1, the official source compiles (under Cygwin) and tests 

    100% cleanly OOTB (Out Of The Box)

  ---NO SSL RELEASE---

  Same as standard, except for the configure step, which changes to:

  $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-ssl

  NOTE: the standard release is what is available via Cygwin's setup.exe;

    the no-ssl release is only available from the curl website

Packaging Instructions:

  ---BINARY---

  Compile cleanly (./configure + make). Then:

  Compile cleanly as described above, then:

  $ make cygwinbin CYGBUILD=n

  where n is the cygwin release number (e.g. the "1" in curl-7.9-1).

  If you leave off "CYGBUILD=n", n defaults to 1.

  where n is the cygwin release number (e.g. the "1" in curl-7.9-1),

  and "CYGBUILD=n" is optional (n defaults to 1 if not specified)

  Assuming everything worked properly, you'll find your binary tarball

  in the packages/Win32/cygwin/ sub-directory.

  Assuming everything worked, you'll find your binary tarballs in

   $(buildtop)/packages/Win32/cygwin/

  ---SOURCE---

  1. unpack the pristine source into an otherwise empty directory

  1. download & unpack the pristine source

  2. rename the source dir to add the "-$(REL)" suffix, e.g.:

     $ mv curl-7.9 curl-7.9-1

  3. unpack the pristine source once more, so you'll end up

     with 2 directories: "curl-7.9" and "curl-7.9-1" in this example

  3. add a CYGWIN-PATCHES directory, and add this readme to it

     $ cd curl-7.9-$(REL); mkdir CYGWIN-PATCHES

     $ cp packages/Win32/cygwin/README CYGWIN-PATCHES/curl-7.9-$(REL).README

     $ cd curl-7.9-1; mkdir CYGWIN-PATCHES

     $ cp packages/Win32/cygwin/README CYGWIN-PATCHES/curl-7.9-1.README

  4. if applicable, document any changes in the README file

  5. create a patch which, when applied (patch -p1 < curl-7.9-$(REL).patch) 

     will remove any patches you've applied:

  5. create a patch which, when applied 

     (using `patch -p1 < curl-7.9-$(REL).patch`) 

     will remove any changes you've made to the pristine source:

     $ cd ..

     $ diff -Nrup (patched-src-dir) (pristine-src-dir) > curl-7.9-$(REL).patch

     $ diff -Nrup curl-7.9-1 curl-7.9 > curl-7.9-1.patch

     and then move it into the CYGWIN-PATCHES directory

  6. repack

     $ mv curl-7.9-1.patch curl-7.9-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES

  6. pack the new source dir into a tar.bz2 file:

     $ tar cfj curl-7.9-1-src.tar.bz2 curl-7.9-1
