cURL library allows you to connect and communicate to many different types of servers with many different types of protocols. libcurl currently supports the http, https, ftp, gopher, telnet, dict, file, and ldap protocols. libcurl also supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading (this can also be done with PHP's ftp extension), HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, and user+password authentication.
In this section is about how to compile curl in the host environment and put it them on target machine.

Configuration and Installation
Download and unpack the cURL package.
Source code of cURL can be obtained from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
'cd' to the new directory. (e.g. cd curl-7.12.3)
Now call the configuration script,Be sure and specify the '--host' and
'--build' parameters at configuration time.
The following script is cross-compiling for ARM9 processor using the
cross tool chain 'cross-2.95.3.tar.bz2' on RedHat Linux.
(Other tool chains has library linking issues)
./configure --prefix=/root/curl --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux CC=/usr/local/arm/2.95.3/bin/arm-linux-gcc
The '--prefix' parameter
specifies where cURL will be installed.
CC parameter is the cross compiler toolchain path.
If 'configure' completes
successfully, do 'make' and 'make install' as usual.
Copying the binaries and libraries to root file system
Once the make install is sucessfull,copy the binaries and libraries in curl folder to bin and lib folder respectively on root file system.
now test the libary on the commad line by typing 'curl url'
I got html page as a response when I typed 'curl http://192.168.1.1' on the shell.
[root@test Linux]# curl http://192.168.1.1
help me to resolve this.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI use fedora 1 and cross compile curl for ep9315.
But I get a problem when I configure as your advice.
I ran
./configure --prefix=/home/giangdo/charger/curl-7.10.6/output/ --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux CC=/usr/local/arm/3.4/bin/arm-linux-gcc --with-random=/dev/urandom
It completed. Then I make, it's get errors.
Please help me !
Thanks a lot !

=========================
Try a higher vesrion curl source version, in my case curl-7.12.3 worked.
