 2. Install Related Problems

  2.1 configure doesn't find OpenSSL even when it is installed

  * If you write the code, chances are bigger that it will get into curl

    faster.

  1.5 Who makes cURL?

  cURL and libcurl are not made by any single individual. Sure, Daniel

  Stenberg writes the major parts, but various people's submissions are

  important and crucial. Anyone can post their changes and improvements and

  have them inserted in the main sources (of course on the condition that

  developers agree on that the fixes are good).

  The list of contributors in the bottom of the man page is only a small part

  of all the people that every day provide us with bug reports, suggestions,

  ideas and source code.

  curl is developed by a community, with Daniel at the wheel.

  1.6 What do you get for making cURL?

  Project cURL is entirely free and open, without any commercial interests or

  money involved. No person gets paid in any way for developing curl. We all

  do this volountarily on our spare time.

  We get some help from companies. Contactor Data hosts the curl web site and

  the main mailing list, Haxx owns the curl web site's domain and

  sourceforge.net hosts several project tools we take advantage from like the

  bug tracker, mailing lists and more.
