为什么在尝试编译示例代码时出现错误“找不到-lcurl”？

Question

I'm trying to follow this curl example and get it to compile:

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/docs/examples/smtp-mail.c

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/docs/examples/Makefile.example

And what I have so far is borderline copy/pasted, but I keep getting an error "cannot find -lcurl"

This is what I have for the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "curl-7.64.0/include/curl/curl.h"

/*
 * For an SMTP example using the multi interface please see smtp-multi.c.
 */ 

/* The libcurl options want plain addresses, the viewable headers in the mail
 * can very well get a full name as well.
 */ 
#define FROM_ADDR    "<sender@example.org>"
#define TO_ADDR      "<addressee@example.net>"
#define CC_ADDR      "<info@example.org>"

#define FROM_MAIL "Sender Person " FROM_ADDR
#define TO_MAIL   "A Receiver " TO_ADDR
#define CC_MAIL   "John CC Smith " CC_ADDR

static const char *payload_text[] = {
  "Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 21:54:29 +1100\r\n",
  "To: " TO_MAIL "\r\n",
  "From: " FROM_MAIL "\r\n",
  "Cc: " CC_MAIL "\r\n",
  "Message-ID: <dcd7cb36-11db-487a-9f3a-e652a9458efd@"
  "rfcpedant.example.org>\r\n",
  "Subject: SMTP example message\r\n",
  "\r\n", /* empty line to divide headers from body, see RFC5322 */ 
  "The body of the message starts here.\r\n",
  "\r\n",
  "It could be a lot of lines, could be MIME encoded, whatever.\r\n",
  "Check RFC5322.\r\n",
  NULL
};

struct upload_status {
  int lines_read;
};

static size_t payload_source(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userp)
{
  struct upload_status *upload_ctx = (struct upload_status *)userp;
  const char *data;

  if((size == 0) || (nmemb == 0) || ((size*nmemb) < 1)) {
    return 0;
  }

  data = payload_text[upload_ctx->lines_read];

  if(data) {
    size_t len = strlen(data);
    memcpy(ptr, data, len);
    upload_ctx->lines_read++;

    return len;
  }

  return 0;
}

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl;
  CURLcode res = CURLE_OK;
  struct curl_slist *recipients = NULL;
  struct upload_status upload_ctx;

  upload_ctx.lines_read = 0;

  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    /* This is the URL for your mailserver */ 
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "smtp://mail.example.com");

    /* Note that this option isn't strictly required, omitting it will result
     * in libcurl sending the MAIL FROM command with empty sender data. All
     * autoresponses should have an empty reverse-path, and should be directed
     * to the address in the reverse-path which triggered them. Otherwise,
     * they could cause an endless loop. See RFC 5321 Section 4.5.5 for more
     * details.
     */ 
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM, FROM_ADDR);

    /* Add two recipients, in this particular case they correspond to the
     * To: and Cc: addressees in the header, but they could be any kind of
     * recipient. */ 
    recipients = curl_slist_append(recipients, TO_ADDR);
    recipients = curl_slist_append(recipients, CC_ADDR);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT, recipients);

    /* We're using a callback function to specify the payload (the headers and
     * body of the message). You could just use the CURLOPT_READDATA option to
     * specify a FILE pointer to read from. */ 
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, payload_source);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, &upload_ctx);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPLOAD, 1L);

    /* Send the message */ 
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* Check for errors */ 
    if(res != CURLE_OK)
      fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n",
              curl_easy_strerror(res));

    /* Free the list of recipients */ 
    curl_slist_free_all(recipients);

    /* curl won't send the QUIT command until you call cleanup, so you should
     * be able to re-use this connection for additional messages (setting
     * CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM and CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT as required, and calling
     * curl_easy_perform() again. It may not be a good idea to keep the
     * connection open for a very long time though (more than a few minutes
     * may result in the server timing out the connection), and you do want to
     * clean up in the end.
     */ 
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }

  return (int)res;
}

And this is what I'm using for the makefile:

TARGET = email
OBJS= smtp-mail.o
CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -c -g
LDFLAGS = -L/curl-7.64.0/lib
LIBS = -lcurl -lsocket -lnsl -lssl -lcrypto
$(TARGET) : $(OBJS)
    $(CC)  -o $(TARGET) $(OBJS) $(LDFLAGS) $(LIBS)

smtp-mail.o : smtp-mail.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $<

Does anyone know why this would be happening?

EDIT: I updated the paths in smtp-mail.c and the makefile:

#include "/user/jastei/Email/curl-7.58.0/include/curl/curl.h"

LDFLAGS = -L/user/jastei/Email/curl-7.58.0/lib/ -L/user/jastei/Email/curl-7.58.0/lib/vtls

I ran the commands:

./configure --prefix=/user/jastei/Email/curl-7.58.0 --disable-shared

make

make install

At first, it looked like nothing has changed, however, instead of "cannot find -lcurl" I got this: cannot find -lsocket

EDIT 2: Regarding cmake...when I called cmake:

/user/jastei/Email/cmake/bin/cmake CMakeLists.txt

I got this error:

File /user/jastei/Email/cmake/bin/headers/conf.h.in does not exist.

You are going to need to build libcurl yourself to get the static library that you want to compile with. You can grab the latest release at https://github.com/curl/curl/releases/tag/curl-7_64_0 . Download the source code zip archive. You can view https://curl.haxx.se/docs/install.html for full building instructions but basically you need to extract the source code, open your terminal, cd to the directory that has the configure script and the Makefile , and then type the following commands:

# change the below prefix path to where you want curl to install
# e.g. ~/curl-7.64.0
./configure --prefix=/path/to/install/to --disable-shared
make
make install

Let it work its magic. That should give you the files that you need.
