Install

Linux

It is quite easy to compile the C source with GCC:

trurl is also available in some package managers. If it is not listed you can try searching for it using the package manager of your preferred distribution.

Windows Download and run Cygwin installer. Follow the instructions provided by the installer. When prompted to select packages, make sure to choose the following: curl, libcurl-devel, libcurl4, make and gcc-core. (optional) Add the Cygwin bin directory to your system PATH variable. Use make, just like on Linux.

Prerequisites

Development files of libcurl (e.g. libcurl4-openssl-dev or libcurl4-gnutls-dev) are needed for compilation. Requires libcurl version 7.62.0 or newer (the first libcurl to ship the URL parsing API).

trurl also uses CURLUPART_ZONEID added in libcurl 7.81.0 and curl_url_strerror() added in libcurl 7.80.0

It would certainly be possible to make trurl work with older libcurl versions if someone wanted to.

Older libcurls

trurl builds with libcurl older than 7.81.0 but will then not work as well. For all the documented goodness, use a more modern libcurl.

trurl / libcurl Compatibility

For more details on how trurl will behave if these features are missing see URL Quirks. To see the features your version of trurl supports as well as the version of libcurl it is built with, run the following command: trurl --version
