Curl bin/ dir containing other stuff

Hi there,
When installing curl, i.e. 7.52.1_b006.170926, I found other than curl related binaries in the curl bin/ directory, namely:

k5srvutil kadmin kdestroy kinit klist kpasswd krb5-config kswitch ktutil kvno

which on my Linux laptop belong to package krb5-workstation.

Then xml related binaries

xml2-config xmlcatalog xmllint

which on my Linux laptop belong to package libxml2.

Could anybody explain what the rationale here is?

Thanks a lot, Manfred

Hi Manfred,

These binary files were used to build curl with certain options and then they were included to the build to avoid the errors connected with the options that can use these libraries.

Thanks,
Sergey
