To use 32-bit curl you need to generate an OMF import library from the
libcurl DLL. It's not terribly hard. I did it originally for when I
added downloading of libcurl to the Windows installer.
When is the OMF library needed?
1. While building dmd
2. While building druntime
3. While building phobos
4. While building client code that does NOT use std.net.curl
5. While building client code that DOES use std.net curl
5. std.net.curl actually existed for several releases of dmd before I
went to use it one day and got linker errors and decided to fix it with
the installer change.
Awesome. So can we assume
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/pull/27 takes care
of Windows for good?
Thanks for your work!!! I'll make sure I'll get a word of thanks to
@broccolis as well.
We can ask the libcurl author if it comes down to redistributing a
libcurl binary. But we want to make sure this is the solution of choice.
Walter actually already did that and the author of libcurl said
redistributing it was fine.
Here's an old thread discussing the licensing:

Terrific, thanks.
