How To Build libcurl to Use c-ares For Asynch Name Resolves
===========================================================
2010-02-14 14:40:18 -05:00
c-ares:

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
============
2003-08-06 09:21:19 -04:00
2004-04-06 03:59:11 -04:00
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
===================================================
2003-08-05 10:52:31 -04:00
2010-03-24 05:44:25 -04:00
1. name or symlink the c-ares source directory 'ares' in the curl source
directory
2. ./configure --enable-ares
2010-03-24 05:44:25 -04:00
Optionally, you can point out the c-ares install tree root with the the
--enable-ares option.
3. make
2003-08-05 10:52:31 -04:00
2004-04-06 03:59:11 -04:00
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)
2004-04-06 03:59:11 -04:00
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.
