+
+   You may also need to provide a parameter like '--with-random=/dev/urandom'
+   to configure as it cannot detect the presence of a random number
+   generating device for a target system.  The '--prefix' parameter
+   specifies where cURL will be installed.  If 'configure' completes
+   successfully, do 'make' and 'make install' as usual.
+
+   In some cases, you may be able to simplify the above commands to as
+   little as:
+
+       ./configure --host=ARCH-OS
+
+   There are a number of configure options that can be used to reduce the
+   size of libcurl for embedded applications where binary size is an
+   important factor.  First, be sure to set the CFLAGS environment variable
+   when configuring with any compiler optimization flags to reduce the
+   size of the binary.  For gcc, this would mean at minimum:
+
+      env CFLAGS='-Os' ./configure ...
+
+   Be sure to specify as many --disable- and --without- flags on the configure
+   command-line as you can to disable all the libcurl features that you
+   know your application is not going to need.  Besides specifying the
+   --disable-PROTOCOL flags for all the types of URLs your application
+   will not use, here are some other flags that can reduce the size of the
+   library:
+
+     --disable-ares (disables support for the ARES DNS library)
+     --disable-cookies (disables support for HTTP cookies)
+     --disable-crypto-auth (disables HTTP cryptographic authentication)
+     --disable-ipv6 (disables support for IPv6)
+     --disable-verbose (eliminates debugging strings and error code strings)
+     --without-libidn (disables support for the libidn DNS library)
+     --without-ssl (disables support for SSL/TLS)
+     --without-zlib (disables support for on-the-fly decompression)
+
+   You may find that statically linking libcurl to your application will
+   result in a lower total size.
