Title: libcurl on Arch Linux
Post by: ImDevinC on January 15, 2016, 08:17:16 am

Good evening! I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a few hours and can't seem to figure it out. So here's what I have so far:

• curl is installed, which puts libcurl.so in /usr/lib/ and curl.h (and the other headers) in /usr/include/curl
• I added /usr/include to Search Directories -> Compiler in the global compiler settings
• I added /usr/lib to Search Directories -> Linker in the global compiler settings
• I added /usr/include/curl to Search Directories -> Compiler in the project compiler settings
• I added /usr/lib/libcurl.so to Linker Settings -> Link Libraries in the project compiler settings
• I included <curl/curl.h>
• On Curl *curl; I get the error error: 'Curl' was not declared in this scope
  

Any insight as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

1) read this and post a full rebuild log: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28general%29#Q:_How_do_I_report_a_compilation_problem_on_the_forums.3F
2) probably you write "curl" not "Curl", but we need the full build log to help you

Thanks! Here's the build log

1) Keep in mind that c is case sensitive...
2) Read the documentation and tutorials for example: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/ftpget.html for a curl example
3) Look how you have written Curl, and how the struct CURL is really written
