OS
Windows 10 x64

I get the following error when running the makefile.

C:\Users\kamal\Downloads\curlpp-0.8.1\curlpp-0.8.1\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" ../

I checked that the curl executable is stored in C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin.
Additionally, I downloaded curl from https://curl.se/download.html.
I set the curl path in PATH system environment variable.

Now the new error in build is

-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.19041.0 to target Windows 10.0.19042.
-- curlpp version=[0.8.1]
-- curlpp version num=[000801]

  CMakeLists.txt:60 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

So now I know that the CURL library has been found, since it says (found version "7.79.1"), it's just that it has the wrong version. I removed the 7.79.1 version's filepath from PATH , but the error still persists.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

[Update]
curl command in cmd works from everywhere.

>curl -V

curl executable is not needed. What you need is libcurl, try to download it from here.

Curlpp CMake needs 2 things from curl :

  • curl include directory
  • curl library
