curl 8.16.0 is a command-line HTTP client.
Project link: curl.se
Task:
Compile and install curl to a specific location.
Difficulties:
Standard build, nothing special.
Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, without internet access.
You are a package-building specialist operating a Ubuntu 22.04 bash shell via one tool: run_terminal_cmd.
The current working directory of every run_terminal_cmd is /home/peter.
Execution rules:
- Always pass non-interactive flags for any command that could prompt (e.g., -y, --yes, DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive).
- Don't include any newlines in the command.
- The environment is offline, assume you have all the necessary tools already installed.
If you encounter any errors or issues while doing the user's request, you must fix them and continue the task.
At the end verify you did the user request correctly.
You are given a curl v8.16.0 source code at /home/peter/curl.tar.gz. Please compile curl and install it to /home/peter/result. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary. Make it build even if some third party dependencies are not available.

Planning software installation
I'm thinking about some potential issues that could arise during installation, like if packages aren’t installed, especially autotools if the tarball isn’t configured. The official distribution usually has a configure script and a generated makefile, but sometimes I may need to run autoreconf.
I have to ensure that commands run without interaction since errors could pop up. I'll clean the working directory, create a build directory, and then extract the tar file. After extraction, I'll check the directory name to confirm I'm using the right version.Configuring minimal build options
I need to ensure that the build process can proceed even if some third-party dependencies are missing. First, I’ll choose a minimal feature set for the configuration.
For instance, I’ll pass --disable-shared to avoid linking issues, even though building shared libraries may require -fPIC. Also, I can use --disable-ftp since FTP is typically included by default but isn’t necessary for our build.
Next, I’ll disable SSL and HTTP libraries by passing several options like --without-ssl, --without-nghttp2, and --without-zlib, --without-zstd, and --without-brotli. Lastly, I might also consider --disable-dependency-tracking to streamline the process.Addressing additional configurations
There are a few more configurations to consider. I’ll disable LDAP with --disable-ldap and --disable-ldaps. For RTMP support via librtmp, that won’t be included.
Also, since I’m using --without-ssl, it will prohibit the use of TLS libraries. I’ll skip features like asynchronous threads for simplicity. For cookie domain verification, I’ll set --without-libpsl to avoid optional dependencies.
I can use PKG_CONFIG=/bin/false to prevent linking attempts to libraries while still ensuring a successful build. No need for static builds either, but I’ll remember to create a symlink to the binary after installation.Running build commands
I know that I can still compile 'curl' without SSL/TLS, but the absence of "LibreSSL/libressl" might cause issues with missing -lcrypto, even if I've passed --without-ssl. So, it’s important to check for correct dependencies.
First, I need to ensure that the result directory exists, which means running mkdir -p /home/peter/result. Then I’ll extract the tar file using tar. I’ll determine the extracted directory carefully, making sure I don’t use newlines across commands.
Since storing variables across function calls isn’t possible, I’ll find a way to handle the directory information correctly for later use.Organizing the build process
I'm realizing the tool runs a new bash shell for each command, so I need to assume no persistent environment exists between calls. This means I have to be careful with any variables set during commands. The filesystem persists, so I can reference specific paths instead. I plan to extract the tar file and determine the extracted directory without relying on variables.
I'll run a series of commands sequentially to ensure everything works smoothly: creating a result directory, extracting the tar, and configuring with options. I'll avoid duplicating options like --without-nghttp2 and ensure I only use recognized options to prevent errors during configuration. Additionally, I’ll structure commands to disable unnecessary features while keeping it simple. This methodical approach should help make the process efficient!Specifying build options
I should focus on specifying only the crucial toggles for the build process: --without-ssl, --without-libpsl, --without-libidn2, --without-zlib, --without-brotli, --without-zstd, --disable-ldap, --disable-ldaps, and --disable-manual. It’s also necessary to disable RTMP support using --without-librtmp, while other options will default without library detection.
I’ll ensure I perform the commands step-by-step using run_terminal_cmd. I’ll begin by creating the result directory, extracting the tar file, and listing the extracted directory without picking up unnecessary files like the tarball. So, I'll run the command accordingly!

Finalizing build description
It runs, which is great! However, the release date says 2025-09-10, which is puzzling since it’s earlier than 2025-09-16. Anyway, it’s showing version 8.16.0 now. I want to finalize with a clear description of our work: we ensured the build will proceed even if some third-party dependencies aren't available. We disabled SSL/TLS and compression libraries, which may limit features, like the lack of "https." Verifying that "https" isn't listed in the protocols could be helpful too.Summarizing build details
It looks like "https" isn’t present, just "http." Now, I’ll summarize our process clearly. We extracted /home/peter/curl.tar.gz and configured it with the prefix /home/peter/result, using minimal dependencies while disabling SSL, libpsl, libidn2, zlib, zstd, and brotli, along with LDAP manually. After building and installing to /home/peter/result, I created a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to /home/peter/result/bin/curl. Lastly, we've verified the version is accessible via the symlink and will show the 'curl --version' output in the summary.Finalizing installation summary
The instructions say to address any errors during the user's request, but there weren't any, so that's good! Before finalizing, I should ensure that the installed "libcurl" library and its includes are located under /home/peter/result. It’s not strictly necessary for the request but is part of the make install process. I've created a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary, and it's owned by 'peter', which is correct. Finally, I'll mention that while 'docs/man pages' are disabled, 'docs/libcurl' man pages were still installed.Wrapping up installation details
It's time to wrap up everything succinctly. I’ll provide the usage path and confirm with a summarized 'curl --version' output. I should mention that the features include basic functionality, but note that TLS is disabled, so 'https' isn't supported either. It’s important to include this to avoid surprising the user. I’ll add a disclaimer about the disabled SSL in the message before finalizing it all neatly. Let's get this set!
Done.
What I did
- Extracted /home/peter/curl.tar.gz.
- Configured a dependency-light build so it succeeds even if third-party libs are missing:
- --prefix=/home/peter/result
- --disable-manual --disable-ldap --disable-ldaps
- --without-ssl --without-libpsl --without-libidn2 --without-zlib --without-brotli --without-zstd
- Built and installed.
- Created the symlink: /home/peter/result/curl -> /home/peter/result/bin/curl
Verification
- Binary exists: /home/peter/result/bin/curl
- Symlink exists: /home/peter/result/curl
- Running it:
/home/peter/result/curl --version

Notes
- TLS/HTTPS support is intentionally not built (no SSL/TLS library) to ensure the build succeeds without third-party dependencies. If you want HTTPS, let me know which TLS backend you prefer (OpenSSL, GnuTLS, mbedTLS, WolfSSL, etc.) and I can rebuild with it.
