How do I install curl on cygwin?

Answer 1

If you don't see a certain package, you can access to a full list of ports (also unnoficials, the packages you see on the web) launching the setup.exe with -k argument with value http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg (example: C:\cygwin\setup\setup-x86.exe -K http://cygwinports.org/ports.gpg).

Doing so, you can choose a lot of extra packages, also extra versions of cURL (compat one). I do that to get Apache, cUrl, php5, php5-curl and some others :)

I don't know if apt-cyg can get those extra packages.
