Run 'nmake vc-ssl-zlib' to build with both ssl and zlib support.

- A minimal VC++ 6.0 reference workspace (vc6curl.dsw) is available with the
- source distribution archive to allow proper building of the two included
- projects, the libcurl library and the curl tool.
+ A fairly comprehensive set of Visual Studio project files are available for
+ v6.0 through v12.0 and are located in the projects folder to allow proper
+ building of both the libcurl library as well as the curl tool.
- 1) Open the vs/vc6/vc6curl.dsw workspace with MSVC6's IDE.
- 2) Select 'Build' from top menu.
- 3) Select 'Batch Build' from dropdown menu.
- 4) Make sure that the eight project configurations are 'checked'.
- 5) Click on the 'Build' button.
- 6) Once the eight project configurations are built you are done.
-
- Dynamic and static libcurl libraries are built in debug and release flavours,
- and can be located each one in its own subdirectory, dll-debug, dll-release,
- lib-debug and lib-release, all of them below the 'vs/vc6/lib' subdirectory.
-
- In the same way four curl executables are created, each using its respective
- library. The resulting curl executables are located in its own subdirectory,
- dll-debug, dll-release, lib-debug and lib-release, below 'vs/vc6/src' subdir.
-
- These reference VC++ 6.0 configurations are generated using the dynamic CRT.
-
- Intentionally, these reference VC++ 6.0 projects and configurations don't use
- third party libraries, such as OpenSSL or Zlib, to allow proper compilation
- and configuration for all new users without further requirements.
-
- If you need something more 'involved' you might adjust them for your own use,
- or explore the world of makefiles described above 'MSVC from command line'.
+ For more information about these projects and building via Visual Studio
+ please see the README file located in the projects folder.
