The cURL package contains a utility and a library used for transferring files with URL syntax to any of the following protocols: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE. Its ability to both download and upload files can be incorporated into other programs to support functions like streaming media.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform.

Install cURL by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --disable-static \ --enable-threaded-resolver && make
Running the test suite is optional. About 2% of the tests fail. Increase in test time by each failed test is about 10%. Tests SBU above was obtained disabling failing tests, with:
cat >> tests/data/DISABLED << "EOF"

Now, as the root
user:
make install && find docs \( -name Makefile\* -o -name \*.1 -o -name \*.3 \) -exec rm {} \; && install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/curl-7.40.0 && cp -v -R docs/* /usr/share/doc/curl-7.40.0
--disable-static
: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-threaded-resolver
:
This switch enables cURL's builtin
threaded DNS resolver.
--with-gssapi
: This parameter adds
Kerberos 5 support to libcurl
.
--without-ssl --with-gnutls
: Use to
build with GnuTLS support instead
of OpenSSL for SSL/TLS.
find docs \( -name Makefile\* -o
-name \*.1 -o -name \*.3 \) -exec rm {} \;: This
command removes Makefiles
and man
files from the documentation directory that would otherwise be
installed by the commands that follow.
