3. Change directory to **winbuild**.
4. Build static libraries with following command:

   ```
   nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=static VC=14 MACHINE=x64 DEBUG=no
   ```
5. The generated libraries and header files are located at **../builds**.

6. Create a new win32 project in Visual Studio 2015.
7. Copy relevant libs and includes to the project.
8. Write a simple test.

    ```
    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include "libcurl/include/curl/curl.h"
    #ifdef _DEBUG
#pragma comment(lib, "libcurl/lib/libcurl_a_debug.lib")
#else
#pragma comment(lib, "libcurl/lib/libcurl_a.lib")
#endif
int main()
{
	curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT);
	CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	if (curl) {
		CURLcode res;
		curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.dynamsoft.com");
		res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
		curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	}
	curl_global_cleanup();
    return 0;
}
    ```
