qt c++ error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory

Question

I downloaded the libcURL source code and imported the headers and source into my .pro file and it seems to find all the libraries except for the main one.

dies on:

#include <curl/curl.h>

.pro file contains: (this is the updated version)....................

And why are you importing the source code directly, instead of building the library? — Adri C.S.
git clone github.com/JosephP91/curlcpp is the copy i used and I don't see curl.h. C:\Users\Brad2\Documents\GitHub\curlcpp is my path and I am static linking source so that it is fully built into the final build. — brad
Check this : stackoverflow.com/questions/22834233/… This could come from your OS version. — Evans Belloeil
The link you provided states An object-oriented C++ **wrapper** for cURL tool and in the CMakeLists.txt file cUrl appears as a dependency. Most likely you first have to install cUrl and then tell CMake where to find it. — Adri C.S.
