It is best/safer to add the settings to your project!

For your project :
- Right click on the project then select Build options
- Select the directories tab
- Add the required paths for compiler and linker.
- Add your specific libraries in the linker tab.
- Pay attention to project settings and target settings.

There's libCURL instructions in the file when you download it, telling you how to install. If you still can't get it to work, make sure you've used Google and their site before asking.

Not that it's specifically relevant, but many of the things in the library can actually be done manually, especially if you're just doing simple POST/GET requests. Before relying on a library which is not necessarily portable or efficient, see if there's a way to do it using built-in functions.

i donot know which file i should link.there are many files with libcurl download link.which i should link and where i should post them.

FYI: Code::Blocks is NOT a compiler!

Figure out which compiler you are using.

Figure out the name of library you wish to use.

it is mingW. library is libcurl.

help plz.

Google "mingw libcurl" and a surprising amount of results come up that will help you. There's at least five pages that relate to your problem on the first page alone, and it's very hard to believe that you actually tried to search first.

Also, stop bumping the thread literally 1-3 minutes after you post; it's ....ing annoying and pointless.
