Ah, that makes more sense now. I re-read the tutorial, ran ./configure, make, 
and make install, and then built the examples via command line.

Then I tried the examples in Kdevelop, but it wasn't finding the library to 
link. I found this can be resolved by adding "yourappname_LDADD = 
/usr/local/lib/libmicrohttpd.so.5" to the /src/Makefile.am file. I now have the 
examples working as a C++ project in Kdevelop.

The only other thing that is confusing me is that when I built the examples 
from command line with cc, the executables are all about 800KB. When I build it 
with Kdevelop, the application is about 90KB. Is the microhttpd library being 
put in the executable when built with cc, but just being referenced when built 
in C++?

Thanks,
