This document + does not describe how to install c-ares using such a binary package. + This document describes how to compile, build and install c-ares from + source code. + +Building from git +================= + + If you get your code off a git repository, see the GIT-INFO file in the + root directory for specific instructions on how to proceed. + +UNIX +==== + A normal unix installation is made in three or four steps (after you've + unpacked the source archive): + + ./configure + make + make ahost adig acountry (optional) + make install + + You probably need to be root when doing the last command. + + If you have checked out the sources from the git repository, read the + GIT-INFO on how to proceed. + + Get a full listing of all available configure options by invoking it like: + + ./configure --help + + If you want to install c-ares in a different file hierarchy than /usr/local, + you need to specify that already when running configure: + + ./configure --prefix=/path/to/c-ares/tree + + If you happen to have write permission in that directory, you can do 'make + install' without being root. An example of this would be to make a local + install in your own home directory: + + ./configure --prefix=$HOME + make + make install + + MORE OPTIONS + ------------ + + To force configure to use the standard cc compiler if both cc and gcc are + present, run configure like + + CC=cc ./configure + or + env CC=cc ./configure + + To force a static library compile, disable the shared library creation + by running configure like: + + ./configure --disable-shared + + If you're a c-ares developer and use gcc, you might want to enable more + debug options with the --enable-debug option. + + SPECIAL CASES + ------------- + Some versions of uClibc require configuring with CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE=1 + to get correct large file support. + + The Open Watcom C compiler on Linux requires configuring with the variables: + + ./configure CC=owcc AR="$WATCOM/binl/wlib" AR_FLAGS=-q \ + RANLIB=/bin/true STRIP="$WATCOM/binl/wstrip" CFLAGS=-Wextra + + +Win32 +===== + + Building Windows DLLs and C run-time (CRT) linkage issues + --------------------------------------------------------- + + As a general rule, building a DLL with static CRT linkage is highly + discouraged, and intermixing CRTs in the same app is something to + avoid at any cost. + + Reading and comprehension of Microsoft Knowledge Base articles + KB94248 and KB140584 is a must for any Windows developer. Especially + important is full understanding if you are not going to follow the + advice given above. + + KB94248 - How To Use the C Run-Time + http://support.microsoft.com/kb/94248/en-us + + KB140584 - How to link with the correct C Run-Time (CRT) library + http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140584/en-us + + KB190799 - Potential Errors Passing CRT Objects Across DLL Boundaries + http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235460 + + If your app is misbehaving in some strange way, or it is suffering + from memory corruption, before asking for further help, please try + first to rebuild every single library your app uses as well as your + app using the debug multithreaded dynamic C runtime. + + MingW32 + ------- + + Make sure that MinGW32's bin dir is in the search path, for example: + + set PATH=c:\mingw32\bin;%PATH% + + then run 'make -f Makefile.m32' in the root dir. + + Cygwin + ------ + + Almost identical to the unix installation.

The + vcvars32.bat file is part of the Microsoft development environment and + you may find it in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\vc98\bin' + provided that you installed Visual C/C++ 6 in the default directory. + + Further details in README.msvc + + MSVC IDES + --------- + + Details in README.msvc + + Important static c-ares usage note + ---------------------------------- + + When building an application that uses the static c-ares library, you must + add '-DCARES_STATICLIB' to your CFLAGS. Otherwise the linker will look for + dynamic import symbols. + + +IBM OS/2 +======== + Building under OS/2 is not much different from building under unix. + You need: + + - emx 0.9d + - GNU make + - GNU patch + - ksh + - GNU bison + - GNU file utilities + - GNU sed + - autoconf 2.13 + + If during the linking you get an error about _errno being an undefined + symbol referenced from the text segment, you need to add -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__ + in your definitions. + + If you're getting huge binaries, probably your makefiles have the -g in + CFLAGS. + + +QNX +=== + (This section was graciously brought to us by David Bentham) + + As QNX is targeted for resource constrained environments, the QNX headers + set conservative limits. This includes the FD_SETSIZE macro, set by default + to 32. Socket descriptors returned within the c-ares library may exceed this, + resulting in memory faults/SIGSEGV crashes when passed into select(..) + calls using fd_set macros. + + A good all-round solution to this is to override the default when building + c-ares, by overriding CFLAGS during configure, example + # configure CFLAGS='-DFD_SETSIZE=64 -g -O2' + + +RISC OS +======= + The library can be cross-compiled using gccsdk as follows: + + CC=riscos-gcc AR=riscos-ar RANLIB='riscos-ar -s' ./configure \ + --host=arm-riscos-aof --without-random --disable-shared + make + + where riscos-gcc and riscos-ar are links to the gccsdk tools. + You can then link your program with c-ares/lib/.libs/libcares.a + + +NetWare +======= + To compile libcares.a / libcares.lib you need: + - either any gcc / nlmconv, or CodeWarrior 7 PDK 4 or later. + - gnu make and awk running on the platform you compile on; + native Win32 versions can be downloaded from: + http://www.gknw.net/development/prgtools/ + - recent Novell LibC SDK available from: + http://developer.novell.com/ndk/libc.htm + - or recent Novell CLib SDK available from: + http://developer.novell.com/ndk/clib.htm + + Set a search path to your compiler, linker and tools; on Linux make + sure that the var OSTYPE contains the string 'linux'; set the var + NDKBASE to point to the base of your Novell NDK; and then type + 'make -f Makefile.netware' from the top source directory; + + +Android +======= + Method using a configure cross-compile (tested with Android NDK r7b): + - prepare the toolchain of the Android NDK for standalone use; this can + be done by invoking the script: + ./tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh + which creates a usual cross-compile toolchain. Lets assume that you put + this toolchain below /opt then invoke configure with something like: + export PATH=/opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH + ./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi [more configure options] + make + - if you want to compile directly from our GIT repo you might run into + this issue with older automake stuff: + checking host system type... + Invalid configuration `arm-linux-androideabi': + system `androideabi' not recognized + configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub arm-linux-androideabi failed + this issue can be fixed with using more recent versions of config.sub + and config.guess which can be obtained here: + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=tree + you need to replace your system-own versions which usually can be + found in your automake folder: + find /usr -name config.sub + + +CROSS COMPILE +============= + (This section was graciously brought to us by Jim Duey, with additions by + Dan Fandrich) + + Download and unpack the c-ares package. + + 'cd' to the new directory. (e.g. cd c-ares-1.7.6) + + Set environment variables to point to the cross-compile toolchain and call + configure with any options you need. Be sure and specify the '--host' and + '--build' parameters at configuration time. The following script is an + example of cross-compiling for the IBM 405GP PowerPC processor using the + toolchain from MonteVista for Hardhat Linux. + + (begin script) + + #! /bin/sh + + export PATH=$PATH:/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/bin + export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/include" + export AR=ppc_405-ar + export AS=ppc_405-as + export LD=ppc_405-ld + export RANLIB=ppc_405-ranlib + export CC=ppc_405-gcc + export NM=ppc_405-nm + + ./configure --target=powerpc-hardhat-linux \ + --host=powerpc-hardhat-linux \ + --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu \ + --prefix=/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/local \ + --exec-prefix=/usr/local + + (end script) + + You may also need to provide a parameter like '--with-random=/dev/urandom' + to configure as it cannot detect the presence of a random number + generating device for a target system. The '--prefix' parameter + specifies where c-ares will be installed. If 'configure' completes + successfully, do 'make' and 'make install' as usual. + + In some cases, you may be able to simplify the above commands to as + little as: + + ./configure --host=ARCH-OS + + +PORTS +===== + This is a probably incomplete list of known hardware and operating systems + that c-ares has been compiled for.
