Cannot link with nghttp2_static.lib #7446

Hi,

I'm trying to build libcurl.dll on Windows with Visual Studio 2017 with OpenSSL and nghttp2 as dependencies.

Link fails, telling it's unable to find nghttp2_static.lib. I found that build/link works if I change this line, removing the "_static" part.

curl/winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc

Line 160 in 9a7a60d

NGHTTP2_LIBS = nghttp2_static.lib

Here is how I build NgHttp2 on Windows ($ means C:\Users\Me\Projects\externals\build-2021-07-19\) :

$ git clone ...
$ cd nghttp2
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
              -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..\deps ^
              -DENABLE_LIB_ONLY=ON ^
              -DENABLE_STATIC_LIB=ON ^
              -DENABLE_SHARED_LIB=OFF ^
              -H. ^
              -Bbuild
$ cmake --build build --config Release --target install

I'm not sure if it is due to a change in NgHttp2 or due to my build environment.

winbuild: support alternate nghttp2 static lib name
bd90b70 
- Support both nghttp2.lib and nghttp2_static.lib for static nghttp2.

nghttp2 briefly changed its static lib name to nghttp2_static, but then
made the _static suffix optional.

The name was nghttp2_static.lib for a brief period, now the basename suffix is optional so you probably have nghttp2.lib. Please try #7447
