How to include libcurl in an ESP32 project

My question is basically in the title.

My directory structure of our esp32 project (the important parts i think) is as followed:

The steps that i did to include libcurl were these:

1. git clone https://github.com/curl/curl.git (into the components folder)
2. And then moved 2 files into the curl directory
   -lib/curl_config.h
   -component.mk

See instructions and files at https://github.com/nkolban/esp32-snippets/tree/master/curl/build_files or at the related video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp4OC_kGMgU&t=603s .

The only diffrence that I noticed would be the console and the commands that we use to build.

We use "ESP-IDF 4.4 CMD" and the command "idf.py build".

This is the output in the console.

In CMakeLists.txt in components/curl/ the include lines dont seem to work (e.g. Utilities).
If we try an absolute path instead of ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} (see beneath) an error accurs later in the line "project(CURL C)". Then the error says: "project command is not scriptable".
