Any news on this?
Comment 2 Michael Cronenworth 2021-06-22 20:49:19 UTC 
The problem is that upstream built the curl-config script to be specific to the build environment. It doesn't support the combined shared/static library set we produce in our packaging. You either have a shared-aware curl-config or a static-aware curl-config. It doesn't allow for you to support both if both shared and static library packages are installed. I could patch together a curl-config that does support both, but I do not have the spare cycles to do this.

If you want to discuss this with upstream please go ahead.

Couldn't we have a separate curl-static-config tool?
