# Please read also the Android section in docs/INSTALL for alternate methods!
# This file can be used when building curl using the full Android source

# Place the curl source (including this makefile) into external/curl/ in the
# Android source tree.  Then build them with 'make curl' or just 'make libcurl'

   The GNU compiler and linker have a number of options that can reduce the
   size of the libcurl dynamic libraries on some platforms even further.

   Using these techniques it is possible to create a basic HTTP-only shared

   You may find that statically linking libcurl to your application will
   result in a lower total size than dynamically linking.
