well as a configuration that includes both, it is recommend that you use the
all-in-one configuration.
Running DLL based configurations
================================
If you are a developer and plan to run the curl tool from Visual Studio (eg
you are debugging) with any third-party libraries (such as OpenSSL, wolfSSL
or LibSSH2) then you will need to add the search path of these DLLs to the
configuration's PATH environment. To do that:
* Open the 'curl-all.sln' or 'curl.sln' solutions
* Right-click on the 'curl' project and select Properties
* Navigate to 'Configuration Properties > Debugging > Environment'
* Add PATH='Path to DLL';C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
... where 'Path to DLL` is the configuration specific path. For example the
following configurations in Visual Studio 2010 might be:
DLL Debug - DLL OpenSSL (Win32):
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\openssl\build\Win32\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
DLL Debug - DLL OpenSSL (x64):
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\openssl\build\Win64\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
DLL Debug - DLL wolfSSL (Win32):
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\wolfssl\build\Win32\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
DLL Debug - DLL wolfSSL (x64):
PATH=..\..\..\..\..\wolfssl\build\Win64\VC10\DLL Debug;C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
If you are using a configuration that uses multiple third-party library DLLs
(such as DLL Debug - DLL OpenSSL - DLL LibSSH2) then 'Path to DLL' will need
to contain the path to both of these.
