remove the ares subtree
c-ares is now hosted entirely separate from the curl project
see http://c-ares.haxx.se/ for all details concerning c-ares,

The name of the folder - depends on the MSVC compiler version being used to build c-ares. - - Below the MSVCXX folder there will exist four folders named 'cares', - 'ahost', 'acountry', and 'adig'. The 'cares' folder is the one that - holds the c-ares libraries you have just generated, the other three - hold sample programs that use the libraries. - - The above command builds four versions of the c-ares library, dynamic - and static versions and each one in release and debug flavours. Each - of these is found in folders named dll-release, dll-debug, lib-release, - and lib-debug, which hang from the 'cares' folder mentioned above. Each - sample program also has folders with the same names to reflect which - library version it is using. - - - How to build using Visual Studio 6 IDE - -------------------------------------- - - A VC++ 6.0 reference workspace (vc6aws.dsw) is available within the 'vc' - folder to allow proper building of the library and sample programs. - - 1) Open the vc6aws.dsw workspace with MSVC6's IDE. - 2) Select 'Build' from top menu. - 3) Select 'Batch Build' from dropdown menu. - 4) Make sure that the sixteen project configurations are 'checked'. - 5) Click on the 'Build' button. - 6) Once the sixteen project configurations are built you are done. - - Dynamic and static c-ares libraries are built in debug and release flavours, - and can be located each one in its own subdirectory, dll-debug, dll-release, - lib-debug and lib-release, all of them below the 'vc\cares' subdirectory. - - In the same way four executable versions of each sample program are built, - each using its respective library. The resulting sample executables are - located in its own subdirectory, dll-debug, dll-release, lib-debug and - lib-release, below the 'vc\acountry', 'vc\adig' and 'vc\ahost'folders. - - These reference VC++ 6.0 configurations are generated using the dynamic CRT. - - - How to build using Visual Studio 2003 or newer IDE - -------------------------------------------------- - - First you have to convert the VC++ 6.0 reference workspace and project files - to the Visual Studio IDE version you are using, following next steps: - - 1) Open vc\vc6aws.dsw with VS20XX. - 2) Allow VS20XX to update all projects and workspaces. - 3) Save ALL and close VS20XX. - 4) Open vc\vc6aws.sln with VS20XX. - 5) Select batch build, check 'all' projects and click 'build' button. - - Same comments relative to generated files and folders as done above for - Visual Studio 6 IDE apply here. - - - Relationship between c-ares library file names and versions - ----------------------------------------------------------- - - c-ares static release library version files: - - libcares.lib -> static release library - - c-ares static debug library version files: - - libcaresd.lib -> static debug library - - c-ares dynamic release library version files: - - cares.dll -> dynamic release library - cares.lib -> import library for the dynamic release library - cares.exp -> export file for the dynamic release library - - c-ares dynamic debug library version files: - - caresd.dll -> dynamic debug library - caresd.lib -> import library for the dynamic debug library - caresd.exp -> export file for the dynamic debug library - caresd.pdb -> debug symbol file for the dynamic debug library - - - How to use c-ares static libraries - ---------------------------------- - - When using the c-ares static library in your program, you will have to - define preprocessor symbol CARES_STATICLIB while building your program, - otherwise you will get errors at linkage stage. - - -Have Fun! - |
