Errors when compiling under Windows

[silicode17]

I have installed libcurl on Windows (in D:/curl) by following your instructions after I ran into "You might have difficulties handling libcurl where CMake throws Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR)."

So I have copied curl.lib and libcurl.dll from the lib64/ and bin64/ folders of the libcurl-7.48.0-WinSSL-zlib-x86-x64.zip to D:/curl/lib.

Then I ran CMake:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 -DCURL_LIBRARY=D:/curl/lib/curl.lib -DCURL_INCLUDE_DIR=D:/curl/include

Everything went fine.

But when I ran:
cmake --build .

I got these errors:

I am not sure I understand your issue. It seems you have succeeded right ?
I suppose that the libraries are not in your PATH and that is why cmake --build . cannot work simply ?
If that is the case, I will refer to your issue for users on Windows that can be helpful thanks.
