Unless you're looking for some specific version a 3rd party package has been compiled against, it's called curl-devel in RHEL 5.

yum install curl-devel

This is straight out of the distribution's repository, no 3rd party repository necessary.

There isn't exactly an 'adding libraries to codeblock for dummies' out there, and I read some guides/explanations but nothing really worked. After a couple hours finally the solution came from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8876536/using-libcurl-c

Download the 'Win32 Generic' libcurl package. (7.24.0) In Code::Blocks, right click your project and open the build options. Go to 'Linker Settings' and add 'curldll' into the 'Link Libraries' listbox. (image) Go to 'Search Directories' and under 'Compiler' link it to the path of your 'curl-7.24.0-devel-mingw32include' folder. Go to the 'Linker' tab under 'Search Directories', and add the path of your 'curl-7.24.0-devel-mingw32lib' directory. Move all DLLs from your 'curl-7.24.0-devel-mingw32bin' folder into your projects 'bin' folder. Build and enjoy

It doesn't have much explanation but I'd like to know what's going on. Firstly, curl-7.24.0-devel-mingw32include is being adding to the list of standard headers (allowing me to use <curl/curl.h> rather than 'curl/curl.h'), and curl-7.24.0-devel-mingw32lib to the standard library, or something, right?

I need to add the DLL files to my bin folder because this is a dynamic library, but what is the purpose of adding curldll to the Link Libraries? Can someone explain that to me?

Is there a way to make this a static library?

Also, is adding libraries really this awkward?
