cmake: Could NOT find CURL (missing: CURL_LIBRARY CURL_INCLUDE_DIR) - windows

Question

I'm on windows 10 and I want to use curlpp library. The building of curlpp depends on the availability of curl and curl is by default present in my system but when i try to run the cmake, it gives the following output
-- Building for: Visual Studio 16 2019

I've also downloaded curl from GitHub and had successfully build it but i don't know how to tell the cmake to find the curl
Any help would be appreciated. thanks
