- How To Build libcurl to Use c-ares For Asynch Name Resolves
- ===========================================================
-
-c-ares:
- http://c-ares.haxx.se/
-
-NOTE
- The latest libcurl version requires c-ares 1.6.0 or later.
-
- Once upon the time libcurl built fine with the "original" ares. That is no
- longer true. You need to use c-ares.
-
-Build c-ares
-============
-
-1. unpack the c-ares archive
-2. cd c-ares-dir
-3. ./configure
-4. make
-5. make install
-
-Build libcurl to use c-ares in the curl source tree
-===================================================
-
-1. name or symlink the c-ares source directory 'ares' in the curl source
- directory
-2. ./configure --enable-ares
-
- Optionally, you can point out the c-ares install tree root with the the
- --enable-ares option.
-
-3. make
-
-Build libcurl to use an installed c-ares
-========================================
-
-1. ./configure --enable-ares=/path/to/ares/install
-2. make
-
-c-ares on win32
-===============
-(description brought by Dominick Meglio)
-
-First I compiled c-ares. I changed the default C runtime library to be the
-single-threaded rather than the multi-threaded (this seems to be required to
-prevent linking errors later on). Then I simply build the areslib project (the
-other projects adig/ahost seem to fail under MSVC).
-
-Next was libcurl. I opened lib/config-win32.h and I added a:
- #define USE_ARES 1
-
-Next thing I did was I added the path for the ares includes to the include
-path, and the libares.lib to the libraries.
-
-Lastly, I also changed libcurl to be single-threaded rather than
-multi-threaded, again this was to prevent some duplicate symbol errors. I'm
-not sure why I needed to change everything to single-threaded, but when I
-didn't I got redefinition errors for several CRT functions (malloc, stricmp,
-etc.)
-
-I would have modified the MSVC++ project files, but I only have VC.NET and it
-uses a different format than VC6.0 so I didn't want to go and change
-everything and remove VC6.0 support from libcurl.
