cURL (as of 7.9.1) builds completely OOTB. The Cygwin specific files

(README is the only one so far) are located in a non-standard location:

 <srctop>/packages/Cygwin/



This release (v7.9) includes the patch needed in CYGWIN-PATCHES,

however future releases should eliminate this directory.





Direct Dependencies:

  OpenSSL 0.9.6b



Canonical Homepage:

  http://curl.haxx.se/



Canonical Download:

  http://curl.haxx.se/download.html





Build Instructions:



  unpack curl-<ver>-X-src.tar.bz2

  cd curl-<ver>

  ./configure --prefix=/usr 

  make

  (optionally) make test (*)

  make install (**)



  (*) until v7.9.1, 'make test' requires Cygwin's mounts set to binmode / Unix

  (**) if you need to bootstrap, make install will require libtool 1.4.3

       (which contains a patch related to the ".exe" extension on curl.exe
