Its ability to both download and upload files can be incorporated into other programs to support functions like streaming media. &lfs77_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &curl-md5sum; Download size: &curl-size; Estimated disk space required: &curl-buildsize; Estimated build time: &curl-time; cURL Dependencies Recommended and or Optional , , , , c-ares, libmetalink, libssh2, and SPNEGO Optional for Running the Test Suite (for the HTTPS and FTPS tests) and User Notes: 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" 564 700 701 703 706 707 708 709 710 711 712 EOF and running make test. 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-&curl-version; && cp -v -R docs/* /usr/share/doc/curl-&curl-version; --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. Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directories curl and curl-config libcurl.so /usr/include/curl and /usr/share/doc/curl-&curl-version; Short Descriptions curl is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax. curl curl-config prints information about the last compile, like libraries linked to and prefix setting. curl-config libcurl.so provides the API functions required by curl and other programs. libcurl.so
