Research direction

Start with the CMake build instructions and the Windows dependency setup, then reproduce the reported FindPackageHandleStandardArgs error with the stated curl paths. Done means the Windows CMake configuration locates both the CURL version and CURL_LIBRARY and proceeds past this error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am trying to run cmake as per instructions, and I get:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY) (found version "7.79.1")

I have ensured curl is in the path, and tried to add all of the following to path:

C:\Program Files\curl-7.79.1-win64-mingw
C:\Program Files\curl-7.79.1-win64-mingw\bin
C:\Program Files\curl-7.79.1-win64-mingw\lib
C:\Program Files\curl-7.79.1-win64-mingw\include

And the same error persists
