I tried to build it today. With flags -terminfo +http -curl -libwww, it works "out of the box" on windows. With flags -terminfo -http +curl -libwww and with -optl-lcurldll, and the binary distribution of windows curl installed, it works with curl too. Franchise can't actually build darcs on windows with curl, as there's no curl-config in Windows binary curl distribution (curl-config requires sh, as far as I know). Terminfo can't work on windows, so it should be disabled on this platform by default. -terminfo +http -curl -libwww could be a good default under windows (it's the only combination that works "out of the box"). Static curl compilation is not worth the trouble, in my opinion (specially with SSL): let's just distribute libcurl.dll and libssl32.dll and tell the user to put them in the same directory darcs.exe lives. If we don't want to distribute them, there's a nice zip on the curl website with those files. Unfortunately there's something wrong with the sprint branch: it cannot fetch a patch from the unstable repository in Windows, with both HTTP and curl: darcs failed: Couldn't fetch `0000001865-fe3d3c7e6a9130fbf39c933683418d7e6887738b978db618bd41e219daceebb' It works with the bytestring darcs repository. This is a "report from the field" mail: I will soon follow-up with my thoughts about windows support and the build issue on that platform.
