title: Linking cURL in C++
body: <p>After trying this for all of today with no result, and searching through LOTS of threads on here and on forums, I'm hoping someone here will be able to find a solution.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to get <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simple.html" rel="nofollow">this simple example using cURL</a> to work on Windows using MinGW.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to compile it with g++</p>
  
  <pre><code>g++ -o Test.exe Test.cpp -DCURL_STATICLIB -I curl\include -L curl\lib -lcurl
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it always gives me the same errors:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Xenon\AppData\Local\Temp\ccI5UUEq.o:Test.cpp:(.text+0x87): undefined reference to `_curl_easy_init'
  C:\Users\Xenon\AppData\Local\Temp\ccI5UUEq.o:Test.cpp:(.text+0xb6): undefined reference to `_curl_easy_setopt'
  C:\Users\Xenon\AppData\Local\Temp\ccI5UUEq.o:Test.cpp:(.text+0xc2): undefined reference to `_curl_easy_perform'
  C:\Users\Xenon\AppData\Local\Temp\ccI5UUEq.o:Test.cpp:(.text+0xd9): undefined reference to `_curl_easy_strerror'
  C:\Users\Xenon\AppData\Local\Temp\ccI5UUEq.o:Test.cpp:(.text+0x101): undefined reference to `_curl_easy_cleanup'
  collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To be honest, I'm all out of ideas what could be causing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  When adding the parameter -v, I'm getting the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>g++ -v -o Test.exe Test.cpp -DCURL_STATICLIB -I curl\include -L curl\lib -lcurl

  <p>I still don't know what could be causing my problem though...are all those "ignored" directories normal?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> After now using a 32-bit cURL library, the compiler is literally spamming error messages. I don't know if it means it's working or even more broken now... Had to remove a few messages, as they were 506 lines...</p>

  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I also tried downloading the Windows OpenSSL package offered on their website and including it - no change.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> It's finally working! The solution was to use the 32-bit cURL package and to pass these parameters to the compiler:</p>
  
  <pre><code>g++ -o Test.exe Test.cpp -DCURL_STATICLIB -I curl\include -L curl\lib -lcurldll -lssh2 -lidn -lrtmp -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lws2_32 -lwldap32
