# cURL Windows
|
|
|
|
Build script to create fully-static binaries of [**cURL**](https://curl.se/) for Windows.
|
|
|
|
These builds provide full Unicode support as well as support for TLS 1.3, HTTP/2, HTTP/3 (QUIC), SSH-2 and IDN.
|
|
|
|
Resulting binaries run on Windows XP (SP-3) or later. 64-Bit binaries require Windows XP x64 Edition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
This build script is based on [**MinGW-w64**](https://www.mingw-w64.org/) and [**MSYS2**](https://www.msys2.org/).
|
|
|
|
### Detailed install instructions:
|
|
|
|
1. Install the MSYS2 base-system using the installer (i.e. `msys2-x86_64-yyyymmdd.exe`) from the website:
|
|
<https://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/>
|
|
|
|
**Important:** If MSYS2 was installed to a directory other than `C:\msys64`, the variable `MSYS2_DIR` in `make.cmd` must be edited accordingly!
|
|
|
|
2. Once the MSYS2 base-system has been installed, updated all packages to the latest version:
|
|
```
|
|
$ pacman -Syyuu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** After the first update, close and re-open the MSYS2 terminal, then run the same command *again*!
|
|
|
|
3. Now install the 32-Bit *and* 64-Bit MinGW-w64 tool-chains:
|
|
```
|
|
$ pacman -S --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Be sure to **not** install the "UCRT" variants of these tool-chains, but the "traditional" MSVCRT-based ones!)
|
|
|
|
4. Finally install the "base" development tools, CMake *and* ZIP:
|
|
```
|
|
$ pacman -S --noconfirm --needed base-devel cmake zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build instructions
|
|
|
|
In order to build the 32-Bit *and* 64-Bit cURL packages, just run **`make.cmd`** from the cURL Windows base directory!
|
|
|
|
Optionally, you can build *only* the 32-Bit or 64-Bit package:
|
|
|
|
1. Open either the *32-Bit* (`mingw32.exe`) or the *64-Bit* (`mingw64.exe`) MSYS2 terminal
|
|
|
|
2. Change the working directory to the cURL Windows base directory (i.e. where `build.sh` is located)
|
|
|
|
3. Now run the **`./build.sh`** script!
