I'm using cURL 7.42.1 and MinGW. I'm having problems compiling libcurl with ssl support (for HTTPS). Ive tried defining USE_OPENSSL on lib\curl_setup.h but it still didn't work.

Ive been trying to find a solution to this for hours but i couldn't find one.

    you'll have to show us what you are trying. Are you using a `makefile` or ??? What are the error messages you are getting. Please update your question with this information (don't post as a comment!). Use the `{}` tool at the top left of the `edit` box to format code and errors so they are legible. Good luck. – shellter May 28 '15 at 17:43

You must build libcurl with SSL support enabled, adding a define to curl_setup.h won't have the desired effect.

i.e.:

./configure --with-winssl

Then init curl the following way in your application:

if (curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL) != CURLE_OK)
    /* handle error */
