Dear Daniel,

Super library - by the way. I have some idea of what's involved in coping with the bizarre stuff that can come at you from an HTTP server.

I don't know what those stack overflow guys are talking about? It's nothing to do with absolute or relative paths.

borland tlib uses plus and minus signs to add and remove files from a library.

tlib libcurl.lib +asyn-thread.obj
is seen by tlib as an instruction to add a file called 'asyn' and to remove a file called thread.obj.

tlib libcurl.lib "asyn-thread.obj"
might achieve what you want it to achieve - who knows? The issue concerns the makefile.

I fixed up makefile.b32 by adding the lines

copy BCC_objs\non-ascii.obj BCC_objs\non_ascii.obj
$(LIB) $(LIBFLAGS) $@ +BCC_objs\non_ascii.obj
copy BCC_objs\asyn-ares.obj BCC_objs\asyn_ares.obj
$(LIB) $(LIBFLAGS) $@ +BCC_objs\asyn_ares.obj
copy BCC_objs\asyn-thread.obj BCC_objs\asyn_thread.obj
$(LIB) $(LIBFLAGS) $@ +BCC_objs\asyn_thread.obj

into the tlib bit of the makefile but it's not nice.

Previously I tried renaming the three offending files (hyphens to underscores) and changing all (and I do mean all) references to them in all possible files but, curiously, make was still looking for the hyphenated names. Was this something to do with objnames.inc?

I'm using Borland bcc32 5.5.1 and tlib 4.5. I'm not sure whether there is a later tlib. I downloaded the whole set together from somewhere years ago.

I hope this is helpful.

There were a couple of other small issues which I fixed up. The makefile refused to make the dll but I didn't want it anyway. I ended up with, I believe, a good libcurl.lib. It's certainly doing the job I want. I'll be happy to make it available to other strugglers - just ask.

Regards

Ian

This stackoverflow answer says it works with recent tlibs if the path is quoted: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7435362/93747 . Is it true?

tlib does not like hyphens (minus signs) in file names. Standard makefile.b32 fails to add non-ascii.obj asyn-ares.obj and asyn-thread.obj to the library.
