Hello, I am trying to use ktor-client-curl but it fails with error:
lld: error: unable to find library -lcurl
I am using ArchLinux and I have curl installed using pacman -S curl
Running curl from terminal works.

You may have to specify another linker flag. I vaguely remember Arch keeping curl in a different spot.

[Landry Norris]

Once you know the path to your curl library on your system, you should be able to add the path as a linker flag to the def file.

[Dragos Rachieru]

$ which curl
/usr/bin/curl

I don't know how to specify the flag

[Landry Norris]

You are actually looking for libcurl.so, which is at /usr/bin/libcurl.so on my Arch system

[Landry Norris]

The way to add the flag depends if you're using a def file or gradle for cinterop. If it's gradle, add linkerflags=-L/usr/bin if I remember correctly.
