Yes. Kind of hard to build from source for cygwin without a compiler.

It's not part of the minimal basic set of installed files. Neither is gcc.
You need to select it in the installer.

Rerun the cygwin installer, step through to the Select Packages section.
Expand the "web" item. Curl is there along with other useful tools like
cadaver, wget, etc. Click on where it says "Skip" under the "new"
column to toggle the selection. There may be more than one version
that it will cycle through. When you've selected what you want, click
"next" to proceed. The installer will leave your existing installed
packages alone unless you change their selection status (it will update
to newer versions, though, if available).
