1 Author: Jrn Hartroth 2 3 DESCRIPTION 4 5 (If you're only looking for precompiled win32 binaries, go visit 6 https://curl.haxx.se/download.html) 7 8 Packaging of the curl binaries for Win32 should at this point in time be based 9 on the InfoZip (zip/unzip) archiver family as the de-facto standard for 10 Windows archives. A package should contain the main binary curl.exe along with 11 the appropriate documentation and license information files. For development 12 releases, you should also include the header directory and probably the 13 compiled binaries of libcurl and the appropriate Makefiles/project definition 14 files for the compiler used. 15 16 A simple packaging mechanism can be based on a set of batch files which call 17 zip.exe with the appropriate files from the curl distribution - see the 18 samples included below (Long lines have been split with "\" as the split 19 marker, you'll want to rejoin the pieces to be all on one line in the batch 20 file). Call any of these batch files - after compiling the curl binaries - 21 with a single parameter specifying the name of the archive file to be created. 22 23 It is implicitly assumed that all of the binary files (curl.exe, libcurl.a, 24 etc) have previously been copied to the main directory of the curl source 25 package (the directory where the main README resides), because that is where 26 they should end up in the zip archive. The archive should *not* be built with 27 absolute path information because the user will want to locally extract the 28 archive contents and shift the binaries to his executable directory. 29 30 SCRIPT_TEMPLATES 31 32 curlpkg.bat: 33 zip -9 %1 curl.exe CHANGES LEGAL MPL-1.0.txt README \ 34 docs/FAQ docs/FEATURES docs/README.curl docs/README.win32 docs/TODO 35 36 curldevpkg.bat: 37 zip -9 %1 curl.exe include\README include\curl\*.h CHANGES docs\* \ 38 curl.spec curl-ssl.spec LEGAL lib/Makefile.m32 src/Makefile.m32 \ 39 libcurl.a libcurl.dll libcurldll.a MPL-1.0.txt README 40 41 PROCEDURE_EXAMPLE 42 43 A standard packaging routine (for MingW32) using the above batch files could 44 go like this: 45 (No SSL) (With SSL) 46 cd <curl-sourcedir>\lib cd <curl-sourcedir>\lib 47 make -f Makefile.m32 make -f Makefile.m32 SSL=1 48 cd ..\src cd ..\src 49 make -f Makefile.m32 make -f Makefile.m32 SSL=1 50 cd .. cd .. 51 copy lib\libcurl.a . copy lib\libcurl.a . 52 copy src\curl.exe . copy src\curl.exe . 53 curlpkg curl-win32-nossl.zip curlpkg curl-win32-ssl.zip 54
