          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

  http://curl.sourceforge.net/dev/ares-1.1.1.tar.gz

ares patch:

  http://curl.haxx.se/dev/ares-curl2.diff

  c-ares, a patched and improved version of ares:

  http://curl.haxx.se/beta/arescurl-1.0-pre1.tar.gz

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.

NOTE

  libcurl works with ares 1.1.1, but several patches and improvements have

  been put into the c-ares package which has made it more portable and better

  working on several platforms.

Build ares

==========

1. unpack the ares-1.1.1 archive

2. cd ares-src

3. patch -p0 < ares-curl-patch

4. ./configure

5. make

1. unpack the ares archive

2. cd ares-dir

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

1. name the ares source directory 'ares' in the curl source directory

2. ./configure --enable-ares

3. make

If the configure script detects IPv6 support), you need to explicitly disable

If the configure script enables 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.
