How to compile C code that uses curl library correctly?

[ago-char]

I have downloaded the library i.e. all .c, .a, .h files and all other given prerequisites. All those are inside C:/CURL folder. I just try to give the path to curl/curl.h (as #include<curl/curl.h> is used in program) and the path to libcurl.a (for all those functions and anything related) to compile my code.

gcc -IC:/CURL/include -LC:/CURL/lib -lcurl test.c -o test

This generated a bunch of undefined reference error. How is this being so and can you guys help me to solve this issue of compilation.

We had a recent discussion about static linking (though dynamic linking to libcurl DLL should be (much) simpler): #39

The linker command of the curl tool as it appears in the public build log may also serve as an example:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/curlorg/curl-for-win/build/1.0.1813/job/0g06bdnijigxuw34?fullLog=true#L10450

Exact details will depend on compiler / toolchain / env / version / etc. So, not a comprehensive answer, but I hope it helps.

Being a beginner, I stuck in every line and too hard to catch it. Can you please help me in simpler way?(if there is any)
