# This was required in my project's CMake in order to properly link and build against curl

if (MSVC)
	add_definitions(
        -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
        -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
        -DCURL_STATICLIB
    )

    list(APPEND CURL_LIBRARIES
        "Crypt32.lib"
        "Ws2_32.lib"
    )

    SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "/NODEFAULTLIB:library")
endif()

This had to be called before the above else CURL_LIBRARIES gets reset.

# set(CURL_LIBRARY "-lcurl") 
find_package(CURL REQUIRED)
include_directories(${CURL_INCLUDE_DIR})
