Compiles curl (and dependencies - zlib, openssl ) for Android

Linux

And also necessary autoconf and libtool toolchains.

If you do not want to compile them yourself, you can download pre-compiled static libraries from releases. They are in build.tar.gz.

Doing your own compilation is recommended, since the pre-compiled binary can become outdated soon.

Update git submodules to compile newer versions of the libraries:

cd submodule_directory
git checkout LATEST_STABLE_TAG
cd ..

bash
git clone https://github.com/liwenjie119/openssl-curl-android.git
git submodule update --init --recursive

Edit build.sh script: NDK=android_ndk_version_you_want_to_use export HOST_TAG=see_this_table_for_info # https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/other_build_systems#overview export MIN_SDK_VERSION=21 # or any version you want (dependent on the ndk version - keep 21 if in doubt)

chmod +x ./build.sh
./build.sh

or

./build1.sh ARCH=<ARCH>

All compiled libs are located in build directory.

Change scripts' configure arguments to meet your requirements.

For now, using tls (https) in Android would throw peer verification failed.

If using libcurl, explicitly set curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, CA_BUNDLE_PATH); where CA_BUNDLE_PATH is your ca-bundle in the device storage. If using curl binary, change the --with-ca-bundle flag in build-curl.sh to the path/name of the cacert file you'll be placing

You can download and copy cacert.pem to the internal storage to get tls working for libcurl.
