## Usage
Download the latest release from the [Releases page](https://github.com/stunnel/static-curl/releases/latest).
Extract the archive and use it.
The binary is built with GitHub Actions.
### Release files
Two versions of cURL will be released: one with ECH support (built with OpenSSL's branch feature/ecp) and one without, until OpenSSL's mainline supports ECH.
- `curl-linux-ARCH-musl-VERSION`: binaries for Linux, linked with `musl`
- `curl-linux-ARCH-glibc-VERSION`: binaries for Linux, linked with `glibc`, these binaries may have compatibility issues in certain system environments
- `curl-linux-ARCH-dev-VERSION`: binaries, headers and static library archives for Linux, linked with `musl`(after curl v8.2.1)
- `curl-macOS-ARCH-VERSION`: binaries for macOS
- `curl-macOS-ARCH-dev-VERSION`: binaries, headers and static library archives for macOS
- `curl-windows-ARCH-VERSION`: binaries for Windows
- `curl-windows-ARCH-dev-VERSION`: binaries, headers and library archives for Windows
## Known issue
For Linux glibc versions, if your system’s `/etc/nsswitch.conf` file is configured with `passwd: compat`, `glibc` will attempt to load `libnss_compat.so`, `libnss_nis.so`, `libpthread.so`, etc. These libraries may not be compatible with the statically linked `glibc`, and the program might crash.
Currently, there is no good solution for this issue, except for compiling glibc within the script.
In this case, it is recommended to use the `musl` version.
## Compile
This script utilizes `clang`(glibc) and [qbt-musl-cross-make](https://github.com/userdocs/qbt-musl-cross-make)(musl) for cross-compilation on Linux, `mstorsjo/llvm-mingw` for cross-compilation for Windows, providing support for the following architectures:
- Linux
- x86_64
- aarch64
- armv7
- armv5
- i686
- riscv64
- s390x
- mips64
- mips64el
- mips
- mipsel
- powerpc64le
- powerpc
- loongarch64
- macOS
- x86_64
- aarch64
- Windows
- x86_64
- aarch64
- i686
- armv7
### How to compile
#### Linux
- To compile locally, install Docker, clone this Git repository, navigate to the repository directory, and then execute the following command:
`sh curl-static-cross.sh`
The script will create a container and compile the host architecture cURL only.
supported architectures
- ARCHES: `"x86_64 aarch64 armv7 armv5 riscv64 s390x mips64 mips64el mips mipsel powerpc64le powerpc i686 loongarch64"`
- If you need to specify more parameters, run:
```shell
docker run --network host --rm -v $(pwd):/mnt -w /mnt \
--name "build-curl-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)" \
-e ARCHES="x86_64 aarch64 armv7 armv5 riscv64 s390x mips64 mips64el mips mipsel powerpc64le powerpc i686 loongarch64" \

- To compile locally, install Docker, clone this Git repository, navigate to the repository directory, and then execute the following command:
`ARCHES="x86_64 i686 aarch64 armv7" sh curl-static-win.sh`
script will create a Linux container and cross-compile cURL via [LLVM MinGW toolchain](https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw).

```shell
docker run --network host --rm -v $(pwd):/mnt -w /mnt \

#### Environment Variables
Supported Environment Variables list:
For all `VERSION` variables, leaving them blank will automatically fetch the latest version.
- `ARCHES`: The list of architectures to compile. You can set one or multiple architectures from the following options: [Compile](#Compile)
- `TLS_LIB`: The TLS library. Only `openssl` for now.
- `LIBC`: The libc. `glibc`(default) or `musl`, only affects Linux.
- `QBT_MUSL_CROSS_MAKE_VERSION`: The version of qbt-musl-cross-make, only affects `musl`. Check the releases on [qbt-musl-cross-make/releases](https://github.com/userdocs/qbt-musl-cross-make/releases)
- `CURL_VERSION`: The version of cURL. If set to `dev`, will fetch the latest source code of branch `master` from GitHub.
- `ENABLE_ECH`: Enable ECH support in cURL. The default value is `false`, set to `true` to enable this feature. Currently released OpenSSL versions do not support ECH. You must use OpenSSL's `feature/ech` branch; see the `OPENSSL_VERSION` and `OPENSSL_BRANCH` settings below. Current releases `static-curl` do not enable this feature, you have to compile by yourself if you need it.
- `OPENSSL_VERSION`: The version of OpenSSL. If set to `dev`, will fetch the branch `OPENSSL_BRANCH` from GitHub.
- `OPENSSL_BRANCH`: The branch that fetch from GitHub, this variable will be ignored if `OPENSSL_VERSION` is not set to `dev`.
- `NGTCP2_VERSION`: The version of ngtcp2.
- `NGHTTP3_VERSION`: The version of nghttp3.
- `NGHTTP2_VERSION`: The version of nghttp2.
- `LIBUNISTRING_VERSION`: The version of libunistring.
- `LIBIDN2_VERSION`: The version of libidn2.
- `LIBSSH2_VERSION`: The version of libssh2.
- `ZLIB_VERSION`: The version of zlib.
- `BROTLI_VERSION`: The version of brotli.
- `ZSTD_VERSION`: The version of zstd.
- `LIBPSL_VERSION`: The version of libpsl.
- `ARES_VERSION`: The version of c-ares.
- `TRURL_VERSION`: The version of trurl.
- `ENABLE_TRURL`: Compile trurl. The default value is `false`, set it to `true` to enable. NOT available for macOS.
- `ENABLE_DEBUG`: Enable curl debugging. The default value is `false`, set it to `true` to enable. This setting appends `--enable-debug` to the curl compilation options.
The compiled files will be saved in the current `release` directory.
