Need Curl under Windows 10's WSL

[freeNastran]

Hi,

I am trying to install it under Windows 10's WSL.

I got an error: Can't build NetCDF. Curl is not found. So I cloned openssl & Curl under the TPL folder and tried to build them with no luck.

I have built openssl and have got libcrypto.a & libssl.a. I have copied them into seacas/lib. Also copied openssl's include folder into seacas/include folder.

Then I try to build curl. But curl can't find openssl.

[ 76%] Linking C executable curl
/usr/bin/ld: ../lib/libcurl.so.4.8.0: undefined reference to SSL_alert_desc_string_long' /usr/bin/ld: ../lib/libcurl.so.4.8.0: undefined reference to SSL_CTX_free'
/usr/bin/ld: ../lib/libcurl.so.4.8.0: undefined reference to `SSL_CTX_set_keylog_callback'

Thanks for help.

It would be great the install_tpl.sh could include these two packages. It could be set at NOT build at default.

Cheers,

Cean

We typically build netCDF with the DAP capability disabled which should eliminate the need for the curl libraries. There has been some releases where they still need curl. I will check with the latest versions and see how to eliminate curl as a dependency.

It looks like more recent versions of netCDF also need to have the ENABLE_BYTERANGE set to NO to eliminate the curl dependency. I've update the install-tpl.sh to include that disablement and verified that netCDF built with that do not have a dependency on libcurl. (See commit b737fee)
