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.

Outlining build steps for curl 8.16.0

I’m planning the full build process for curl 8.16.0 from the source tarball in /home/peter, focusing on configuring it with minimal dependencies to avoid build failures and installing it under /home/peter/result. I’ll untar, configure with flags like --without-ssl and --disable features, run make with all CPU cores, then install. Finally, I’ll create a symlink to the curl binary and verify the build by checking the version output. I want to make sure each step runs smoothly without interaction, so I’ll use sequential terminal commands with no newline characters.

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.

Summarizing verification steps

I'll confirm that the build was done manually without external libraries, covering extraction, minimal configuration, building, installing to the specified directory, creating the symlink, and outputting the version to ensure everything works as expected.

Completed the curl 8.16.0 build from /home/peter/curl.tar.gz:

- Extracted the source, configured it with a prefix of /home/peter/result and disabled optional third-party features so the build succeeds without external dependencies.
- Compiled and installed the binaries and docs into /home/peter/result.
- Created the required symlink /home/peter/result/curl/home/peter/result/bin/curl.

Verification:
- /home/peter/result/bin/curl --version reports curl 8.16.0.
- ls -l /home/peter/result/curl confirms the symlink points to the installed binary.

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