just a question: on what OS / SP are you? And what MingW version / make version?
(try: gcc -v, and mingw32-make -v)

I guess sooner or later you might anyway want SSL, so just download the OpenSSL libs;
here you can find pre-compiled:
http://www.gknw.net/development/ossl/win32/openssl_mingw32-0.9.8g.zip

if you extract them at same level as where you have put libcurl sources it should be found:
./curl-7.18.1
./openssl-0.9.8g

otherwise set an environment var to point to the full path, f.e.:
set OPENSSL_PATH=c:/projects/sdks/openssl-0.9.8g

HTH, Guenter.
