| How To Build libcurl to use ares for asynch name resolves |
| ========================================================= |
| |
| ares: |
| ftp://athena-dist.mit.edu/pub/ATHENA/ares/ares-1.1.1.tar.gz |
| http://curl.haxx.se/dev/ares-1.1.1.tar.gz |
| |
| ares patch: |
| http://curl.haxx.se/dev/ares2.diff |
| |
| Mac OS X quirk: |
| ares 1.1.1 contains too old versions of config.guess and config.sub. Copy |
| the ones from the curl source tree in to the ares source tree before you |
| run configure. |
| |
| Build ares |
| ========== |
| |
| 1. unpack the ares-1.1.1 archive |
| 2. apply patch (if you're on Mac OS X or windows) |
| 3. ./configure |
| 4. make |
| |
| Build libcurl to use ares |
| ========================= |
| |
| 1. Move the ares source/build tree to subdirectory in the curl root named |
| 'ares'. |
| 2. ./buildconf |
| 3. ./configure --enable-ares |
| 4. make |
| |
| If the configure script detects IPv6 support), you need to explicitly disable |
| that (--disable-ipv6) since ares isn't IPv6 compatible (yet). |
| |
| Please let me know how it builds, runs, works or whatever. I had to do some |
| fairly big changes in some code parts to get this to work. |
