I just compiled curl from source by cloning the repo from here https://github.com/curl/curl and running the following commands:

sudo ./buildconf
sudo ./configure --with-libssh2
sudo make

Now I can't find where the executable is! Or what to do to finish the install. This is all it says to do in the GIT-INFO file. Any ideas?

    Unrelated: you almost never need to use sudo for configure or make - using it in these steps can (in theory) expose to unnecessary security risks and, most importantly, create a lot of files that only the superuser can delete. OTOH, you generally need sudo for make install (as it generally has to write to system locations). Commented Jun 13, 2018 at 21:37

    it's in src/curl Commented Jun 13, 2018 at 21:37
  • Thanks, nos. From within that folder, I can run ./curl -V and I get what I expect. But when I try copying that file to /usr/bin, I get the following when I run the command "curl": /usr/bin/curl: error: '/usr/bin/.libs/curl' does not exist This script is just a wrapper for curl.
