NOTES FOR C-ARES HACKERS
|
||||
|
||||
The following notes apply to c-ares version 7.6.1 and later.
|
||||
|
||||
* The distributed ares_build.h file is only intended to be used on systems
|
||||
which can not run the also distributed configure script.
|
||||
|
||||
* The distributed ares_build.h file is generated as a copy of ares_build.h.dist
|
||||
when the c-ares source code distribution archive file is originally created.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you check out from CVS on a non-configure platform, you must run the
|
||||
appropriate buildconf* script to set up ares_build.h and other local files
|
||||
before being able of compiling the library.
|
||||
|
||||
* On systems capable of running the configure script, the configure process
|
||||
will overwrite the distributed ares_build.h file with one that is suitable
|
||||
and specific to the library being configured and built, this new file is
|
||||
generated from the ares_build.h.in template file.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you intend to distribute an already compiled c-ares library you _MUST_
|
||||
also distribute along with it the generated ares_build.h which has been
|
||||
used to compile it. Otherwise the library will be of no use for the users of
|
||||
the library that you have built. It is _your_ responsability to provide this
|
||||
file. No one at the c-ares project can know how you have built the library.
|
||||
|
||||
* File ares_build.h includes platform and configuration dependant info,
|
||||
and must not be modified by anyone. Configure script generates it for you.
|
||||
|
||||
* We cannot assume anything else but very basic compiler features being
|
||||
present. While libcurl requires an ANSI C compiler to build, some of the
|
||||
earlier ANSI compilers clearly can't deal with some preprocessor operators.
|
||||
|
||||
* Newlines must remain unix-style for older compilers' sake.
|
||||
|
||||
* Comments must be written in the old-style /* unnested C-fashion */
