how to install curl on windows 8 with microsoft c++

WSL 1 has been working very well for a long time now. It does? Nobody ever told me and I have never felt that anything was slow. The current WSL (1.0) has major performance issues that WSL2 promises to resolve. Perhaps I can just install MS link.exe, for example and dependent C/C++ libraries?Īlso this - when I move to Linux OS for Rust development (or Mac OS?), what do I need to install for Rust development/debugging there as a minimum sub-set? Is there some sort of minimum sub-set that Rust requires? Does Rust really need all of that of C/C++ baggage? I see this is several Gigabytes of exe/dll. On Windows it is documented that I must install Microsoft C/C++ tools and C++ redistributable. I am trying to learn and understand what exactly does Rust bin & lib crate developer require from the base OS and C/C++ prerequisites (linker, compilers, C/C++ dependent libraries, etc). I am only interested in developing and debugging Rust applications and Rust libraries/crates. My question is not about building/modifying the Rust compiler itself.

I use VS-Code on all platforms with Rust extensions.

I am learning Rust and at present I am using Windows 10 platform but will be moving over to Linux OS or Mac OS soon.
