build a tiny curl (on Linux)

Thank you !

If anyone sees this right now:

• --without-libmetalink doesn't work anymore (configure: error: --with-libmetalink no longer works!)
• you might also want to disable zstd with --without-zstd and mqtt with --disable-mqtt

What is the name of resulting binary? Is it possible to package it without conflicting with curl?

@abitrolly it's a curl build, the output is a libcurl library and a curl executable.

@bagder thanks for the clarification. I thought is a parallel tool with less dependencies and attack surface.

I ran the build in an Alpine Linux container and the output is 4.9M. That's bigger than I had expected.

Edit: Of the output looks like only the curl file and lib/libcurl.so.4 were required. Brought the size down to 300k.

Hi Does tinycurl my target architecture (e.g., ARM Cortex-M0+ for Raspberry Pi Pico)?
