curl win32 compilation [2]

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Sorry for replying to my own threads :)

I just compiled with curl 7.10.7 and then there is no problem. I also did
not need the libcurl_imp.lib, and everything just got compiled into the
libmap.dll (I do not need a libcurl.dll).

But maybe someone (Daniel?) can still comment on why it does not work well
with the latest curl?

Best regards,
Bart
