Windows cURL extension doesn't appear to support SSL

[phenaproxima]

This was found in testing https://github.com/drupal/cms-launcher on Windows: drupal/cms-launcher#38

It was also seen in #597 (comment)

Any advice? Should I just try updating static-php-cli to 2.5.0 (we're on 2.4.5 right now) and rebuilding?

[phenaproxima]

After updating to static-php-cli 2.5.0, I am also seeing the build fail on Windows: https://github.com/drupal/cms-launcher/actions/runs/13946411456/job/39034570532

The crux of the problem seems to be cURL, and the linker not being able to resolve it:

I can confirm we're also seeing this error. It's documented on this action with the --debug flag active if it helps: https://github.com/NativePHP/php-bin/actions/runs/13947104732/job/39036777351

It appears to affect PHP 8.3 and 8.4 on Windows. 8.2 and below appear unaffected.

I found that PHP >= 8.3 has some changes on windows build. I will fix it later, and test ssl support after everything else working well: #660 .

Thanks @crazywhalecc! Can confirm that even reverting to 2.4.5 doesn't solve the problem -- it's failing in the same way: https://github.com/drupal/cms-launcher/actions/runs/13948634297/job/39041966023?pr=40

I worked around this for now by downgrading to 2.4.4 and adding WINBUILD_ACKNOWLEDGE_DEPRECATED: yes to our env.

[crazywhalecc]

I've updated the main branch but I only fixed the build bug of 8.3 and 8.4. You can try it again to test whether it supports ssl. If everything works well, we'll publish a patch version.

I ran into this issue as well, and was able to solve it by duplicate the libcurl.lib with libcurl_a.lib in the buildroot/lib folder.

EDIT: latest changes from main resolved it for me

[phenaproxima]

@crazywhalecc I can confirm that the build issue is fixed, but unfortunately Windows still reports that SSL is not supported.

Okay, I will check it locally at weekend.
