I pulled source from git, and I don't know if it is due to change in Curl or something else, but your cmake file is configured to include some sources which are not found in curl source. They are few curl_ntlm.c, curl_ntlm_msgs.c, curl_sasl_gssapi.c, curl_sasl_ssapi.c and http_negotiate_sspi. Anyway Curl comes with it's own cmake file which works fine "out of the box", so I have opted to comment it out completely from your top level cmake.

Ok, it is rarely a good idea to build against master. In the Readme file there are specfied which tagged version which each library is tested against. I have just merged a pull request to support the latest stable version of cUrl (7.49.1).

Also, there is no need to comment things out in the top level cmake file. If you do not want to include a certain library, just leave the corresponding *_SOURCE_DIR variable empty and the build script will omit the library from the build.

I do not get this problem on Visual Studio 2015 x86. Which platform are you building on (compiler&architecture)?

I have fixed this spelling error.
