meson does not find curl

Software Siril

Hi everyone
kubuntu 22.04.2

Whilst autotools finds curl but not glib-networking:

checking for glib-networking (GIO HTTPS implementation)… no
configure: glib-networking not found
checking for gawk… (cached) gawk
checking for curl-config… /usr/bin/curl-config
checking for the version of libcurl… 7.81.0
checking for libcurl >= version 7.10.0… yes
checking whether libcurl is usable… yes
checking for curl_free… yes
configure: networking solution found with either glib-networking or curl

meson finds glib-networking but not curl:

The autotools build works with online plate solving, the meson build doesn’t:

Any idea what I’m missing for the meson build?

Yes so you are missing the libcurl option which is not enabled by default with meson.

That got it:

git pull
meson --reconfigure _build -Denable-libcurl=yes

Thanks.
