I'm new to this forum, I have a very large BC++ 5.2 Old-OWL project in which I need to include the libcurl library (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl) in order to implement data internet communication.
So I wonder if anyone of you who had the same task could provide me a compiled static LIB of libcurl directly usable in BC++ 5.2.
I'm asking this because: 1) I had no success searching such a LIB in the internet and 2) although libcurl code is available, I found it very hard to compile because it depends on other tools such as OpenSSL, libSSH2, ect.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Considering the lack of response to your query and the age of the BC++ compiler, I can only advise you to upgrade your code to OWLNext and a modern compiler. I can recommend the free Microsoft Visual Studio Community edition. It works well with OWLNext.

Hi Gianni, welcome to the forum!

See "Upgrading from OWL" in our wiki.

Hi:
Another alternative is to use OWLSock wich is already included in OWL 5.x and we are using it pretty well in OWLNext 6.30.x
