Command line curl is separate to libcurl that you can use in programs.
Install curl
Installing the OpenSSL version
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-devUsing the Library In A NetBeans Project
Including the library header file
#include <curl/curl.h>When you compile you also need to include -lcurl so the libraries object file is added to the final compilation.
Right click the project > Properties > Build > Linker > In the ‘Libraries’ section press the ‘…’ button > Add Option… > Other Option > Enter: -lcurl
Current version
Seems hard to identify for the install command!
Current version: https://curl.haxx.se/changes.html
However install libcurl7-openssl-dev does not work even though its at version 7 currently. Using command : sudo apt-get install libcurl-dev
Gave a response of:
- Package libcurl-dev is a virtual package provided by:
- libcurl4-openssl-dev 7.38.0-4+deb8u16
- libcurl4-nss-dev 7.38.0-4+deb8u16
- libcurl4-gnutls-dev 7.38.0-4+deb8u16
- You should explicitly select one to install.
So libcurl4 it seems to be.
Removing curl
sudo apt remove curl
