Curl depends on external libraries for some features (and libcurl for all features). You can build curl without them, but curl gets a lot better if you have these libraries:
Library | Used for... |
---|---|
![]() www.openssl.org |
SSL (https) support. Use OpenSSL. Curl compiles, builds and runs with it. download links. |
![]() www.gzip.org/zlib |
The automatic "deflate" decompression depends on zlib. download links |
![]() www.openldap.org |
The LDAP support depends on OpenLDAP. |
kerberos4 | The kerberos4 support depends on a kerberos4 package! :-) More information can be found at http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/kerberos.html, by asking google or at the MIT kerberos package page. libcurl has been used successfully with kth-krb4. |
heimdal | The GSSAPI support can be provided by the heimdal package. GSSAPI is used for the GSS-Negotiate support in libcurl. |
fbopenssl | SPNEGO support depends on the fbopenssl library. |
c-ares | c-ares is the library libcurl uses for asynchronous name resolves. |
libidn | libidn is used by libcurl to perform the proper IDNA encodings for international domain names to work. |
![]() www.gnutls.org |
TLS (https) support. Use GnuTLS. Curl (7.14.0 or later) compiles, builds and runs with it. |
NSS | TLS (https) support. Use NSS. Curl (7.16.2 or later) compiles, builds and runs with it. |
yassl | TLS (https) support. Use yassl. Curl (7.15.4 or later) compiles, builds and runs with it. |
