I'm trying to use the libcurl library in my codeblocks IDE.

I didn't do any make files or anything, I just extracted the 7.35 files to my ide program fiel and then linked the include and lib files. I searched online to get a test prigram to see if I was successful and found this site https://www.hackthissite.org/articles/read/1078

i used teh first bit of code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

int main()
{
curl_global_init( CURL_GLOBAL_ALL );
CURL * myHandle;
CURLcode result; // We’ll store the result of CURL’s webpage retrieval, for simple error checking.
myHandle = curl_easy_init ( ) ;
// Notice the lack of major error checking, for brevity
curl_easy_setopt(myHandle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com");
result = curl_easy_perform( myHandle );
curl_easy_cleanup( myHandle );
printf("LibCurl rules!\n");
return 0;
}
:
and it works.

Then I tried teh next one on that site with these headers added #include <curl/types.h>
#include <curl/easy.h>

But it didn't work.

I downloaded the curlpp wrapper but from there I am lost.

Are you trying to compile curl with codeblocks? Just build curl the way it's
supposed to be built (configure, make). Then put it somewhere, and tell your IDE
about the header location for the compiler and the library location for the
linker.
