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.
