problem with cURL in Windows

[Ergoplatz]

Hello,

I've never used cURL but now I am following a guide to compile an .exe file

I need to compile it using cURL and WinSSL with Visual Studio.

I keep getting "nvlink fatal   : Could not open input file 'C:/curl/builds/libcurl-vc-x64-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl-obj-lib/libcurl.lib' "

I downloaded cURL from this website: https://curl.se/windows/ and extracted it, but there's no libcurl.lib there.

I believe I'm doing something very wrong but since I've never used cURL or WinSSL I don't know what to do

 

What should i do?

 

Thanks

All the optional dependencies (including the missing lib file) are on the download page you linked in the OP, just scroll down a little.

thank you

what I see is the following:

Quote

• OpenSSL 1.1.1j [64bit/32bit]
• brotli 1.0.9 [64bit/32bit]
• libssh2 1.9.0 [64bit/32bit]
• nghttp2 1.43.0 [64bit/32bit]
• zlib 1.2.11 [64bit/32bit]
• zstd 1.4.9 [64bit/32bit]

 

But non of them is libcurl and has the libcurl.lib. Or I'm still missing it and it's there?
