# how to install curl and libcurl
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing Binary Packages
|
||||
|
||||
Lots of people download binary distributions of curl and libcurl. This
|
||||
document does not describe how to install curl or libcurl using such a binary
|
||||
package. This document describes how to compile, build and install curl and
|
||||
libcurl from source code.
|
||||
|
||||
## Building from git
|
||||
|
||||
If you get your code off a git repository instead of a release tarball, see
|
||||
the `GIT-INFO` file in the root directory for specific instructions on how to
|
||||
proceed.
|
||||
|
||||
# Unix
|
||||
|
||||
A normal Unix installation is made in three or four steps (after you've
|
||||
unpacked the source archive):
|
||||
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make
|
||||
make test (optional)
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
You probably need to be root when doing the last command.
|
||||
|
||||
Get a full listing of all available configure options by invoking it like:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --help
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to install curl in a different file hierarchy than `/usr/local`,
|
||||
specify that when running configure:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --prefix=/path/to/curl/tree
|
||||
|
||||
If you have write permission in that directory, you can do 'make install'
|
||||
without being root. An example of this would be to make a local install in
|
||||
your own home directory:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --prefix=$HOME
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
The configure script always tries to find a working SSL library unless
|
||||
explicitly told not to. If you have OpenSSL installed in the default search
|
||||
path for your compiler/linker, you don't need to do anything special. If you
|
||||
have OpenSSL installed in `/usr/local/ssl`, you can run configure like:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --with-ssl
|
||||
|
||||
If you have OpenSSL installed somewhere else (for example, `/opt/OpenSSL`) and
|
||||
you have pkg-config installed, set the pkg-config path first, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/OpenSSL/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --with-ssl
|
||||
|
||||
Without pkg-config installed, use this:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --with-ssl=/opt/OpenSSL
|
||||
|
||||
If you insist on forcing a build without SSL support, even though you may
|
||||
have OpenSSL installed in your system, you can run configure like this:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --without-ssl
|
||||
|
||||
If you have OpenSSL installed, but with the libraries in one place and the
|
||||
header files somewhere else, you have to set the `LDFLAGS` and `CPPFLAGS`
|
||||
environment variables prior to running configure. Something like this should
|
||||
work:
|
||||
|
||||
CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/ssl/include" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/ssl/lib" ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
If you have shared SSL libs installed in a directory where your run-time
|
||||
linker doesn't find them (which usually causes configure failures), you can
|
||||
provide this option to gcc to set a hard-coded path to the run-time linker:
|
||||
|
||||
LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/ssl/lib ./configure --with-ssl
|
||||
|
||||
## More Options
|
||||
|
||||
To force a static library compile, disable the shared library creation by
|
||||
running configure like:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --disable-shared
|
||||
|
||||
To tell the configure script to skip searching for thread-safe functions, add
|
||||
an option like:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --disable-thread
|
||||
|
||||
If you're a curl developer and use gcc, you might want to enable more debug
|
||||
options with the `--enable-debug` option.
|
||||
|
||||
curl can be built to use a whole range of libraries to provide various useful
|
||||
services, and configure will try to auto-detect a decent default. But if you
|
||||
want to alter it, you can select how to deal with each individual library.
|
||||
|
||||
## Select TLS backend
|
||||
|
||||
The default OpenSSL configure check will also detect and use BoringSSL or
|
||||
libressl.
|
||||
|
||||
- GnuTLS: `--without-ssl --with-gnutls`.
|
||||
- wolfSSL: `--without-ssl --with-wolfssl`
|
||||
- NSS: `--without-ssl --with-nss`
|
||||
- PolarSSL: `--without-ssl --with-polarssl`
|
||||
- mbedTLS: `--without-ssl --with-mbedtls`
|
||||
- schannel: `--without-ssl --with-schannel`
|
||||
- secure transport: `--without-ssl --with-secure-transport`
|
||||
- MesaLink: `--without-ssl --with-mesalink`
|
||||
|
||||
# Windows
|
||||
|
||||
## Building Windows DLLs and C run-time (CRT) linkage issues
|
||||
|
||||
As a general rule, building a DLL with static CRT linkage is highly
|
||||
discouraged, and intermixing CRTs in the same app is something to avoid at
|
||||
any cost.
|
||||
|
||||
Reading and comprehending Microsoft Knowledge Base articles KB94248 and
|
||||
KB140584 is a must for any Windows developer. Especially important is full
|
||||
understanding if you are not going to follow the advice given above.
|
||||
|
||||
- [How To Use the C Run-Time](https://support.microsoft.com/help/94248/how-to-use-the-c-run-time)
|
||||
- [Run-Time Library Compiler Options](https://docs.microsoft.com/cpp/build/reference/md-mt-ld-use-run-time-library)
|
||||
- [Potential Errors Passing CRT Objects Across DLL Boundaries](https://docs.microsoft.com/cpp/c-runtime-library/potential-errors-passing-crt-objects-across-dll-boundaries)
|
||||
|
||||
If your app is misbehaving in some strange way, or it is suffering from
|
||||
memory corruption, before asking for further help, please try first to
|
||||
rebuild every single library your app uses as well as your app using the
|
||||
debug multithreaded dynamic C runtime.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get linkage errors read section 5.7 of the FAQ document.
|
||||
|
||||
## MingW32
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that MinGW32's bin dir is in the search path, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
set PATH=c:\mingw32\bin;%PATH%
|
||||
|
||||
then run `mingw32-make mingw32` in the root dir. There are other
|
||||
make targets available to build libcurl with more features, use:
|
||||
|
||||
- `mingw32-make mingw32-zlib` to build with Zlib support;
|
||||
- `mingw32-make mingw32-ssl-zlib` to build with SSL and Zlib enabled;
|
||||
- `mingw32-make mingw32-ssh2-ssl-zlib` to build with SSH2, SSL, Zlib;
|
||||
- `mingw32-make mingw32-ssh2-ssl-sspi-zlib` to build with SSH2, SSL, Zlib
|
||||
and SSPI support.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any problems linking libraries or finding header files, be sure
|
||||
to verify that the provided `Makefile.m32` files use the proper paths, and
|
||||
adjust as necessary. It is also possible to override these paths with
|
||||
environment variables, for example:
|
||||
|
||||
set ZLIB_PATH=c:\zlib-1.2.8
|
||||
set OPENSSL_PATH=c:\openssl-1.0.2c
|
||||
set LIBSSH2_PATH=c:\libssh2-1.6.0
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to build with other LDAP SDKs than MS LDAP; currently
|
||||
it is possible to build with native Win32 OpenLDAP, or with the Novell CLDAP
|
||||
SDK. If you want to use these you need to set these vars:
|
||||
|
||||
set LDAP_SDK=c:\openldap
|
||||
set USE_LDAP_OPENLDAP=1
|
||||
|
||||
or for using the Novell SDK:
|
||||
|
||||
set USE_LDAP_NOVELL=1
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to enable LDAPS support then set LDAPS=1.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cygwin
|
||||
|
||||
Almost identical to the unix installation. Run the configure script in the
|
||||
curl source tree root with `sh configure`. Make sure you have the `sh`
|
||||
executable in `/bin/` or you'll see the configure fail toward the end.
|
||||
|
||||
Run `make`
|
||||
|
||||
## Disabling Specific Protocols in Windows builds
|
||||
|
||||
The configure utility, unfortunately, is not available for the Windows
|
||||
environment, therefore, you cannot use the various disable-protocol options of
|
||||
the configure utility on this platform.
|
||||
|
||||
However, you can use the following defines to disable specific
|
||||
protocols:
|
||||
|
||||
- `HTTP_ONLY` disables all protocols except HTTP
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_FTP` disables FTP
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_LDAP` disables LDAP
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_TELNET` disables TELNET
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_DICT` disables DICT
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_FILE` disables FILE
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_TFTP` disables TFTP
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_HTTP` disables HTTP
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_IMAP` disables IMAP
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_POP3` disables POP3
|
||||
- `CURL_DISABLE_SMTP` disables SMTP
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to set any of these defines you have the following options:
|
||||
|
||||
- Modify `lib/config-win32.h`
|
||||
- Modify `lib/curl_setup.h`
|
||||
- Modify `winbuild/Makefile.vc`
|
||||
- Modify the "Preprocessor Definitions" in the libcurl project
|
||||
|
||||
Note: The pre-processor settings can be found using the Visual Studio IDE
|
||||
under "Project -> Settings -> C/C++ -> General" in VC6 and "Project ->
|
||||
Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor" in later
|
||||
versions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using BSD-style lwIP instead of Winsock TCP/IP stack in Win32 builds
|
||||
|
||||
In order to compile libcurl and curl using BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack it is
|
||||
necessary to make definition of preprocessor symbol `USE_LWIPSOCK` visible to
|
||||
libcurl and curl compilation processes. To set this definition you have the
|
||||
following alternatives:
|
||||
|
||||
- Modify `lib/config-win32.h` and `src/config-win32.h`
|
||||
- Modify `winbuild/Makefile.vc`
|
||||
- Modify the "Preprocessor Definitions" in the libcurl project
|
||||
|
||||
Note: The pre-processor settings can be found using the Visual Studio IDE
|
||||
under "Project -> Settings -> C/C++ -> General" in VC6 and "Project ->
|
||||
Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor" in later
|
||||
versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Once that libcurl has been built with BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack support, in
|
||||
order to use it with your program it is mandatory that your program includes
|
||||
lwIP header file `<lwip/opt.h>` (or another lwIP header that includes this)
|
||||
before including any libcurl header. Your program does not need the
|
||||
`USE_LWIPSOCK` preprocessor definition which is for libcurl internals only.
|
||||
|
||||
Compilation has been verified with [lwIP
|
||||
1.4.0](https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lwip/lwip-1.4.0.zip) and
|
||||
[contrib-1.4.0](https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lwip/contrib-1.4.0.zip).
|
||||
|
||||
This BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack support must be considered experimental given
|
||||
that it has been verified that lwIP 1.4.0 still needs some polish, and libcurl
|
||||
might yet need some additional adjustment, caveat emptor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Important static libcurl usage note
|
||||
|
||||
When building an application that uses the static libcurl library on Windows,
|
||||
you must add `-DCURL_STATICLIB` to your `CFLAGS`. Otherwise the linker will
|
||||
look for dynamic import symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
## Legacy Windows and SSL
|
||||
|
||||
Schannel (from Windows SSPI), is the native SSL library in Windows. However,
|
||||
Schannel in Windows <= XP is unable to connect to servers that
|
||||
no longer support the legacy handshakes and algorithms used by those
|
||||
versions. If you will be using curl in one of those earlier versions of
|
||||
Windows you should choose another SSL backend such as OpenSSL.
|
||||
|
||||
# Apple iOS and macOS
|
||||
|
||||
On modern Apple operating systems, curl can be built to use Apple's SSL/TLS
|
||||
implementation, Secure Transport, instead of OpenSSL. To build with Secure
|
||||
Transport for SSL/TLS, use the configure option `--with-darwinssl`. (It is not
|
||||
necessary to use the option `--without-ssl`.) This feature requires iOS 5.0 or
|
||||
later, or OS X 10.5 ("Leopard") or later.
|
||||
|
||||
When Secure Transport is in use, the curl options `--cacert` and `--capath`
|
||||
and their libcurl equivalents, will be ignored, because Secure Transport uses
|
||||
the certificates stored in the Keychain to evaluate whether or not to trust
|
||||
the server. This, of course, includes the root certificates that ship with the
|
||||
OS. The `--cert` and `--engine` options, and their libcurl equivalents, are
|
||||
currently unimplemented in curl with Secure Transport.
|
||||
|
||||
For macOS users: In OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), Apple made a major overhaul
|
||||
to the Secure Transport API that, among other things, added support for the
|
||||
newer TLS 1.1 and 1.2 protocols. To get curl to support TLS 1.1 and 1.2, you
|
||||
must build curl on Mountain Lion or later, or by using the equivalent SDK. If
|
||||
you set the `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` environmental variable to an earlier
|
||||
version of macOS prior to building curl, then curl will use the new Secure
|
||||
Transport API on Mountain Lion and later, and fall back on the older API when
|
||||
the same curl binary is executed on older cats. For example, running these
|
||||
commands in curl's directory in the shell will build the code such that it
|
||||
will run on cats as old as OS X 10.6 ("Snow Leopard") (using bash):
|
||||
|
||||
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.6"
|
||||
./configure --with-darwinssl
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
# Cross compile
|
||||
|
||||
Download and unpack the curl package.
|
||||
|
||||
`cd` to the new directory. (e.g. `cd curl-7.12.3`)
|
||||
|
||||
Set environment variables to point to the cross-compile toolchain and call
|
||||
configure with any options you need. Be sure and specify the `--host` and
|
||||
`--build` parameters at configuration time. The following script is an
|
||||
example of cross-compiling for the IBM 405GP PowerPC processor using the
|
||||
toolchain from MonteVista for Hardhat Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
#! /bin/sh
|
||||
|
||||
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/bin
|
||||
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/include"
|
||||
export AR=ppc_405-ar
|
||||
export AS=ppc_405-as
|
||||
export LD=ppc_405-ld
|
||||
export RANLIB=ppc_405-ranlib
|
||||
export CC=ppc_405-gcc
|
||||
export NM=ppc_405-nm
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --target=powerpc-hardhat-linux
|
||||
--host=powerpc-hardhat-linux
|
||||
--build=i586-pc-linux-gnu
|
||||
--prefix=/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/local
|
||||
--exec-prefix=/usr/local
|
||||
|
||||
You may also need to provide a parameter like `--with-random=/dev/urandom` to
|
||||
configure as it cannot detect the presence of a random number generating
|
||||
device for a target system. The `--prefix` parameter specifies where curl
|
||||
will be installed. If `configure` completes successfully, do `make` and `make
|
||||
install` as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
In some cases, you may be able to simplify the above commands to as little as:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --host=ARCH-OS
|
||||
|
||||
# REDUCING SIZE
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of configure options that can be used to reduce the size of
|
||||
libcurl for embedded applications where binary size is an important factor.
|
||||
First, be sure to set the `CFLAGS` variable when configuring with any relevant
|
||||
compiler optimization flags to reduce the size of the binary. For gcc, this
|
||||
would mean at minimum the -Os option, and potentially the `-march=X`,
|
||||
`-mdynamic-no-pic` and `-flto` options as well, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
./configure CFLAGS='-Os' LDFLAGS='-Wl,-Bsymbolic'...
|
||||
|
||||
Note that newer compilers often produce smaller code than older versions
|
||||
due to improved optimization.
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to specify as many `--disable-` and `--without-` flags on the
|
||||
configure command-line as you can to disable all the libcurl features that you
|
||||
know your application is not going to need. Besides specifying the
|
||||
`--disable-PROTOCOL` flags for all the types of URLs your application will not
|
||||
use, here are some other flags that can reduce the size of the library:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--disable-ares` (disables support for the C-ARES DNS library)
|
||||
- `--disable-cookies` (disables support for HTTP cookies)
|
||||
- `--disable-crypto-auth` (disables HTTP cryptographic authentication)
|
||||
- `--disable-ipv6` (disables support for IPv6)
|
||||
- `--disable-manual` (disables support for the built-in documentation)
|
||||
- `--disable-proxy` (disables support for HTTP and SOCKS proxies)
|
||||
- `--disable-unix-sockets` (disables support for UNIX sockets)
|
||||
- `--disable-verbose` (eliminates debugging strings and error code strings)
|
||||
- `--disable-versioned-symbols` (disables support for versioned symbols)
|
||||
- `--enable-hidden-symbols` (eliminates unneeded symbols in the shared library)
|
||||
- `--without-libidn` (disables support for the libidn DNS library)
|
||||
- `--without-librtmp` (disables support for RTMP)
|
||||
- `--without-ssl` (disables support for SSL/TLS)
|
||||
- `--without-zlib` (disables support for on-the-fly decompression)
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
Specify them by providing appropriate `CFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS` variables on
|
||||
the configure command-line, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
CFLAGS="-Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
|
||||
-fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -flto"
|
||||
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-s -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,--gc-sections"
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure also to strip debugging symbols from your binaries after compiling
|
||||
using 'strip' (or the appropriate variant if cross-compiling). If space is
|
||||
really tight, you may be able to remove some unneeded sections of the shared
|
||||
library using the -R option to objcopy (e.g. the .comment section).
|
||||
|
||||
Using these techniques it is possible to create a basic HTTP-only shared
|
||||
libcurl library for i386 Linux platforms that is only 113 KiB in size, and an
|
||||
FTP-only library that is 113 KiB in size (as of libcurl version 7.50.3, using
|
||||
gcc 5.4.0).
|
||||
|
||||
You may find that statically linking libcurl to your application will result
|
||||
in a lower total size than dynamically linking.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the curl test harness can detect the use of some, but not all, of
|
||||
the `--disable` statements suggested above. Use will cause tests relying on
|
||||
those features to fail. The test harness can be manually forced to skip the
|
||||
relevant tests by specifying certain key words on the `runtests.pl` command
|
||||
line. Following is a list of appropriate key words:
|
||||
|
||||
- `--disable-cookies` !cookies
|
||||
- `--disable-manual` !--manual
|
||||
- `--disable-proxy` !HTTP\ proxy !proxytunnel !SOCKS4 !SOCKS5
|
||||
|
||||
# PORTS
|
||||
|
||||
This is a probably incomplete list of known hardware and operating systems
|
||||
that curl has been compiled for. If you know a system curl compiles and
|
||||
runs on, that isn't listed, please let us know!
