more robust CURLLIBS in ./configure

[ogunden]

On my gentoo box, curl-config --libs outputs:

-lcurl -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lz -lrt

Currently, the configure script for ocurl runs:

curl-config --libs | cut -d ' ' -f 2-

but for me this cuts out -lcurl.

My suggestion is to change this to:

curl-config --libs | xargs -n 1 echo | grep -v -- -L | xargs echo

or similar (maybe add a sort -u for good measure), which produces the proper output on my gentoo box and will probably not break anyone else's setup (it also works on my ubuntu box which produces -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lcurl).

The above is all for populating CURLLIBS. I have not given much thought to CURLFLAGS but it could probably be done in a similar manner.

Thanks for the report! Please, could you test the version from git?

Hey, just checked out the latest and I get this now, on my gentoo and ubuntu boxes both, from ./configure:

 checking for libcurl cflags... configure: error: libcurl was not found

I looked into configure.in, and I guess it's related to this line?

 CFLAGS=`pkg-config libcurl --cflags || curl-config --cflags`

The strange thing is, both of those work for me (although they produce no output, but they do exit 0).

Sorry, just fixed it (again).

I don't see any commits on github. have you pushed?

[ygrek]

Oops..
