Using CURL library in windows

  1. Typically if you install curl (especially on windows), you only get the binaries anyway, and you need the headers.
  2. PowerShell has an alias “curl” that has nothing to do with the actual curl (see: Removing the PowerShell curl alias? | daniel.haxx.se ), so make sure you actually have the real curl :wink:
  3. I think it makes sense to build curl on your own on Windows and incorporate it either with FetchContent or ExternalProject
