Build + Use static CURL with Visual Studio 2019 or 2017

[@dingFAching]

This is one of the greatest KZbin tutorials of all time. Subbed.

[@ednaldopereira2646]

yes, i am very surprised.

[@ny3atuy6egemot]

Love c++, 20 minute guide to add the most common library of the world

[@cheetah_5314]

This has been one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Well spoken, clear and straight to the point. Any problem I was having trouble with was covered, you even went so far to show two methods of getting it all setup within a project. Thank you for this video, you are a legend.

[@sophiacristina]

Thank you very much for the video! ALSO, i wanted to tell people that: IF YOUR PROJECT IN VC BEGINS WITH "include "pch.h"" THEN, you'll have to "define CURL_STATICLIB" AFTER the include of "pch.h", that is what means the warning that says that CURL_STATICLIB is not linked because some other pre-compiled inclusion. This was being a headache to me, a simple change in the order fixed!

[@hrisigyuchanov3523]

I've been strugling with this thing for a couple hours, head ache included but your video was a savior ( Even 4 years later). Much appreciated

[@vali20vali20vali20]

The fact that you need a tutorial to compile this bloody thing... Thanks for the video. Struggled for ages to do it using cmake, only to get endless errors when using "-DCURL_STATIC_CRT=ON", like "error C1189: #error: MSVC 6.0 requires "February 2003 Platform SDK"", "error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory" and non-sense like that. This video finally saved me. I wonder why they can't post proper instructions like these on the project page. Not everyone has the luxury of using Linux everywhere.

[@nickolayivanov670]

ThanksEven I, who don’t know English well, understand everything. I follow your advice and everything works out for me. Before this, I suffered all day, and no one could explain to me so clearly how to compile someone else’s project. Thanks, really

[@wonderwaffle4058]

THANK YOU! I was suffering for the whole day trying to compile curlib code with makefiles which just DON"T WORK on my laptop and after all of that, you, the saviour, came and ended my day with a success. Thank you a lot!

[@jackmurphy8696]

Did you try using nuget package manager in visual studio as well? I tried that and it does not link properly. I was so pissed.

[@7essica]

Thank you so much! You're my lifesaver! I couldn't find any useful information about how to integrate cURL lib into C++ project but your video

[@Maniclout]

Oh my god finally somebody who explains the setup of the libraries. As a noob I thank you so much.

[@kubakakauko]

God bless you my dude. I was struggling with this stuff for ages

[@georgesealy4706]

Yes, it is frustrating how poor the documentation is regarding these things. You end up spending gobs of time just trying to compile and use the library, let alone do that actual project.

[@digital_human]

Sometimes its so easy but it you read to much you get messed up. This is just perfect and spot on! Thanks for this man!

[@idkidk9204]

I got saved by this man after 5h of research :D

[@SSArchitecture]

This is well job done. Best and clear way to understand and make run CURL in VS.

[@MirakXfire]

you saved me bro i passed two days trying to install the curl library

[@bbianchi6720]

you are a great! You have clearly resolved the installation that seemed impossible to me !!! Thanks so much.

[@MultiRoberth123]

followed all your steps, but if building for x64 (either release or debug), I get unresolved external symbol errors in curl_easy_init :l

[@georgesealy4706]

Thanks so much for this detailed setup with cURL and VS. It worked great. I had tried previously to compile and use cURL using Eclipse C++, but I kept running into roadblocks. I couldn't find detailed documentation to get past the issues. But I have also used VS for many years, so I switched to your method. Now I can get back to the actual project I want to do.

[@ZackOfAllTrad3s]

Thank you so much!! Ive spent hours trying to get this to work, I wasnt even close

[@MusicAMG]

Will this work with VS 2022? The files I am getting are not named the same.. after I do the build for x64.. example "libcurl-vc17-x64-debug-static-ipv6-sspi-schannel-obj-curl" or am I on the right track here?

[@Vertigo3858]

Same here

[@aw_aom]

It's work correctly with discord api, Thank you! for your tutorial.

[@davidcraig8106]

When adding include dirs, click 3 dots on the right, then click macros at the bottom. When adding the include directory, you can create one string for all configurations something like this (need to use x86 instead of x32 when naming the dirs) \$(PlatformShortName) $(Configuration)\include\

[@집나간고구마]

I have a visual studio 2019 with x86.(differ your one.) I was following you, but got a problem with 11:13 in #include "curl/curl.h". I got a red line under #include. Would you help me?

[@ArunkumarUvaraj]

[@xrishabh]

Thanks for making this awesome video !!

[@SwillMith16]

Is this installations the same for other libraries? every library I've tried using seems to have different setup process so I have no idea how to get started with them if I don't watch these kind of tutorials. Some of the README files are useless aswell

[@leandroneves8496]

Great Video! Quite professional, thanks a lot!

[@mooseminddayan4650]

Thank you. Great Video. I wish you could zoom in more when you make these videos. That would be extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@timothybodin8478]

I ran it with a simpler example. It worked with that....so maybe the problem is simply with your trial code....your test may conflict with VS2022(?)

[@Denis-sl1nn]

[@giorgioguglielmone6528]

Great tutorial and very accurate. Following your steps and using current VS C++ 2022 and LibCurl 8.0.1 versions when I compile for x86 debug, I get folders libcurl-vc17-x86-debug-static-ipv6-sspi-schannel etc... and not them ..sspi-winssl . Are they all the same or do we need to give some other compilation parameter than what you give ? I compiled your example as well and it seems to work just fine. The only thing that does not find the file tcno.co/hello.txt, but the tecno.co page finds it and replies with the classic "404 Not Found"

how do you set the compiler to make it use visual studio 2017 for windows xp toolset

[@portera1622]

this was really helpful, thanks!

[@jackmurphy8696]

Followed the video to a tee. Could not get it to work. Gives me a 18 of unresolved external symbols. When I try to download it through nuget package manager it sees the library also but then gives me 4 unresolved symbols as well. How does any programmer complete anything? Every project I try and work on is like this. Can''t even actually get to my own code

[@leotomarere8318]

what happens if in visual studio 2019, parameter "vc=16" is changed to "vc=6" or "vc=15". Does that mean being compatible with lesser visual studio?

[@rodriguezzachary8722]

why is it necessary to set it to subsystem console, i am working on a GUI application which i needs the subsystem:Windows but when i set it to windows. it says LIBCMT.lib(exe_wwinmain.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol wWinMain the achieve libcurl function we need console as subsystem but for the GUI purpose i am expecting to hide the window which is really troublesome

[@harisundhar2876]

I'm getting unresolved external symbol errors LNK2001. I followed exactly the same procedure.

[@ObilanCenobi]

3:51 i have a problem my x86 Native Tools... dont want to open a place where i have curl and i se something like that: b:\C++ Visual Studio> i should see my path C:\User.... what i can do to repare this?

[@MrHerhor67]

Just like in regular console; just type the disk letter where you want to go, and a colon, eg. `C:`. You can even do it after CDing to the curl dir.

[@williamweidner5425]

excellent tutorial video! 5 star rating from me! clear, concise, gets right to the point AND can be reapplied in earlier versions like VS 2017! question: at 13:49, is hello from the internet sort of a default string built into the code that generates by default before you start using curl?'' also, since I'm new to this, what would you recommend as a next step tutorial from this point?

[@Kid420]

The - “Hello from the internet!” string is a string that he downloaded from the web, with the help of curl.

[@Tech-Gamer444]

Is there a way that you can show an example of this in C programming? I was trying to practice on this language again before going to C++ and wanted to know if you can help with this? Thanks.

[@MrHerhor67]

I somehow got curl to work on my old PC like a year or two ago, with #include , is it still possible? And also I remember much less work, but maybe I only had one version... One thing I found; all headers in all versions are the same, so only one copy is needed. Okay, did some name fiddling and got it to work with just two changes needed in properties: Release, all platforms: `Normaliz.lib;Ws2_32.lib;Wldap32.lib;Crypt32.lib;advapi32.lib;$(SolutionDir)curl\$(PlatformShortName)release.lib` Debug, all platforms: `Normaliz.lib;Ws2_32.lib;Wldap32.lib;Crypt32.lib;advapi32.lib;$(SolutionDir)curl\$(PlatformShortName)debug.lib`
