Since Microsoft removed it, we should probably not try to link to it but I found it archived here: https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/140/Q140584/ Is the info still relevant? Should we maintain our own docs for it? |
I am a novice when it comes to cURL. I simply noticed as a matter of course when going through the documents for the first time, so I do not know if the information is still relevant. I imagine users who compile on the Windows environment need to be aware of the caveats associated with DLL vs Static regardless. |
It has some outdated info, it says the default switch is single threaded but in any recent compiler it's the multithreaded crt dll (release /MD, debug /MDd). The crt mixing part is also covered in How To Use the C Run-Time and the compiler switches are documented elsewhere so we could link to that instead diff --git a/docs/INSTALL.md b/docs/INSTALL.md

The link https://support.microsoft.com/kb/140584/en-us (in INSTALL.md) for "How to link with the correct C Run-Time CRT library" is currently down. I am not sure if this link needs to be removed or updated to point to more current Windows information.
