should it be something like libcurl or curl-dev or something else? otherwise we should remove this line if unsure
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for catching that!
I’ve replaced the vague “curl‑dev” wording with the exact dev packages for the main distros:
Debian/Ubuntu -> libcurl4‑openssl‑dev (alt: libcurl4‑gnutls‑dev)
Fedora/RHEL -> libcurl‑devel
Arch -> curl (contains headers)
Sources are linked in the commit message.
Let me know if you’d prefer we drop the Arch line or add any other distro.

I hit a CMake configure error: Could NOT find CURL when building on Ubuntu. The build guide mentions that curl is enabled by default and can be disabled, but doesn’t list the packages to install. This PR adds distro-specific install one-liners (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora/RHEL, Arch) below the curl note to help first-time builders avoid the error. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04: reinstalling libcurl4-openssl-dev allowed CMake to find CURL successfully.
