There is a problem when compiling with MacOS built-in curl.
A temporary workaround is to install curl from brew and use it.

• brew install curl
• export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.87.0/bin/:$PATH
• npm install node-libcurl

[notjaywu]

A potential problem is:
the brew-installed curl is bulit with --without-ca-bundle --without-ca-path --with-ca-fallback flags.

Not sure if it has any security issues.

[JCMais]

it seems the curl-config file provided with macos has some broken variables:

one option is using brew's libcurl, which as mentioned above, or building libcurl from source, the build.sh script inside ./scripts/ci/build.sh could be useful in this case.

Here is an example build command that is used to build everything from source:

LATEST_LIBCURL_RELEASE=7.86.0 LIBCURL_RELEASE=7.86.0 PUBLISH_BINARY="true" ./scripts/ci/build.sh
