How to include Curl library ?

[flex567]

I have a program that has #include <curl/curl.h> line.
How can i include Curl library to my existing project? I use 64 bit OS and Qtcreator.

Hi,

You can use Qt Creator's add Library feature or write the INCLUDEPATH and LIBS statement by hand

"Adding Libraries to Projects":https://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-3.2/creator-project-qmake-libraries.html

Which package of Curl library should I use for 32bit Win OS?
Win32 - Generic binary or libcurl ? or Win32 - cygwin binary or libcurl?
I use Qtcreator as IDE.

I would like to know which library should i choose ? Internal, External or System ? And what type of file must a library be?

@SGaist
How can I add libraries by hand?
What type of a file must a library be so that it can be used with Qtcreator?

[SGaist]

Have a look the qmake manual for LIBS & INCLUDEPATH.

That depends on what compiler you are currently using not Qt Creator itself.

should i first make .lib file?

[SGaist]

It depends on how you installed libcurl

I didn't install it I just downloaded the .zip file from theirs site.

What does it contain ?

Then you need to build it

how can I build it and what must I include in a build?

[SGaist]

You have the documentation inside the curl folder, follow it for your installed compiler

[flex567]

Do I have to make from that folder static library or dynamic library or something else?

That's up to you and how you would like to use it
