-BUILDING
+## Building
The Makefile.example is an example makefile that could be used to build these
examples. Just edit the file according to your system and requirements first.
Most examples should build fine using a command line like this:
- $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example example.c
+ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example example.c
Some compilers don't like having the arguments in this order but instead
want you do reorganize them like:
- $ `curl-config --cc` -o example example.c `curl-config --cflags --libs`
+ `curl-config --cc` -o example example.c `curl-config --cflags --libs`
-*PLEASE* do not use the curl.haxx.se site as a test target for your libcurl
