Externally linked libcurl headers are available for ProjectName_SharedCode, but not ProjectName_VST

I added a dummy call to curl_easy_init() in the “Main.cpp” of the HelloWorld project and I got it compiling and linking after doing the following:

  • Add D:\dev\curl-7.54.1\builds\libcurl-vc-x86-release-static-ipv6-sspi-winssl\include to “Header search paths”
  • Add CURL_STATICLIB to “Extra Preprocessor Definitions”
  • Add libcurl_a.lib to “External libraries to link” (this contradicts what I said in a precedent post, sorry)
  • Add D:\dev\curl-7.54.1\builds\libcurl-vc-x86-release-static-ipv6-sspi-winssl\lib to “Extra library search paths”
  • Change “Runtime Library” to “Use DLL runtime”
  • Change “Architecture” to “32-bit”

I guess there is some incompatibility between how you are building your VST plugin and how libcurl was built. Make sure that the Architecture (x86 vs. x64 in curl, 32-bit vs. x64 in Projucer) and the Runtime Library (RTLIBCFG=dll vs. RTLIBCFG=static in curl, DLL runtime vs. static runtime in Projucer) match between your project and libcurl.
