Task
Task: curl

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.

Execution log
SYSTEM

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.

USER

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.

I need to:
1. Extract the curl source code from the tarball
2. Configure curl to build without third-party dependencies (use minimal configuration)
3. Compile curl
4. Install it to /home/peter/result
5. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary

Let me start by extracting the tarball and then configure and build curl with minimal dependencies.

I'll help you compile curl v8.16.0 from source and install it to the specified location. Let me start by extracting the source code and then configure it to build even without third-party dependencies.

compile-bench> tar -xzf /home/peter/curl.tar.gz -C /home/peter/

The tar extraction completed successfully (empty output usually means success for tar). Now I need to find the extracted directory name to navigate into it.

compile-bench> ls -la /home/peter/ | grep -E "^d.*curl"

Good, the curl source code has been extracted to /home/peter/curl-8.16.0. Now I need to:
1. Navigate to the source directory
2. Configure the build with minimal dependencies and install to /home/peter/result
3. Compile and install
4. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary

I should configure curl with options that disable optional dependencies to ensure it builds even if third-party libraries are not available.

Now let me navigate to the curl source directory and configure it with minimal dependencies:

Libraries have been installed in:
   /home/peter/result/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to '/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

The installation seems to have completed successfully. Now I need to:
1. Check where the curl binary was installed
2. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary

Let me first check where the curl binary is located in the result directory.

Now let's check where the curl binary was installed and create the symlink:

compile-bench> find /home/peter/result -name "curl" -type f
/home/peter/result/bin/curl

The curl binary was installed to /home/peter/result/bin/curl. Now I need to create a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to this binary.

Now let's create the symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary:

compile-bench> ln -s /home/peter/result/bin/curl /home/peter/result/curl
[empty output]

Let me verify that everything was done correctly. I should:
1. Check that the symlink exists and points to the right place
2. Check that the curl binary works
3. Check the version to confirm it's 8.16.0

Now let's verify that everything was done correctly:

compile-bench> ls -la /home/peter/result/curl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 peter peter 27 Sep 16 21:58 /home/peter/result/curl -> /home/peter/result/bin/curl

The user asked me to compile curl from source and install it to /home/peter/result, and create a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary. Let me verify that the binary works and check the version to confirm everything is correct.

Let's test that the curl binary works and verify its version:

compile-bench> /home/peter/result/curl --version
curl 8.16.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/8.16.0
Release-Date: 2025-09-10
Protocols: dict file ftp gopher http imap ipfs ipns mqtt pop3 rtsp smtp telnet tftp ws
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile threadsafe UnixSockets

The user asked me to:
1. Compile curl v8.16.0 from source (located at /home/peter/curl.tar.gz)
2. Install it to /home/peter/result
3. Create a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary
4. Make it build even if some third party dependencies are not available

I have successfully completed all these tasks:

1. ✅ Extracted the source code from /home/peter/curl.tar.gz
2. ✅ Configured curl with minimal dependencies using --disable-shared --enable-static and multiple --without-* flags to ensure it builds without third-party dependencies
3. ✅ Compiled curl using make
4. ✅ Installed curl to /home/peter/result using make install
5. ✅ Created a symlink from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary at /home/peter/result/bin/curl
6. ✅ Verified the installation and symlink work correctly

The curl binary is now successfully installed and working, showing version 8.16.0 with basic protocols enabled but without SSL and other optional dependencies.

Perfect! I have successfully completed your request. Here's a summary of what was done:

1. Extracted the source code: Unpacked curl v8.16.0 from /home/peter/curl.tar.gz

2. Configured curl with minimal dependencies: Used the following configuration to ensure it builds without third-party dependencies:
- Disabled shared libraries (--disable-shared)
- Enabled static libraries (--enable-static)
- Disabled SSL, zlib, brotli, zstd, and other optional dependencies
- This ensures curl builds even when third-party libraries are not available

3. Compiled curl: Successfully built the curl binary and libraries

4. Installed to /home/peter/result: The installation created:
- Binary at /home/peter/result/bin/curl
- Static library at /home/peter/result/lib/libcurl.a
- Man pages and documentation

5. Created the required symlink: Made a symbolic link from /home/peter/result/curl to the actual binary at /home/peter/result/bin/curl

6. Verified the installation: The curl binary is working correctly, showing version 8.16.0 with basic protocols (dict, file, ftp, gopher, http, imap, ipfs, ipns, mqtt, pop3, rtsp, smtp, telnet, tftp, ws) enabled.

The curl installation is now complete and functional at the requested location with the symlink in place.

Task finished successfully, all checks passed!
Checks passed:
curl binary exists
curl version matches expected
curl downloaded the expected local file content
