+ How To Compile
+```
+
+Installing Binary Packages
+==========================
+
+Lots of people download binary distributions of c-ares. This document
+does not describe how to install c-ares using such a binary package.
+This document describes how to compile, build and install c-ares from
+source code.
+
+Building from Git
+=================
+
+If you get your code off a Git repository rather than an official
+release tarball, see the [GIT-INFO](GIT-INFO) file in the root directory
+for specific instructions on how to proceed.
+
+In particular, you will need to run `./buildconf` (Unix) or
+`buildconf.bat` (Windows) to generate build files, and for the former
+you will need a local installation of Autotools.
+
+Unix
+====
+
+A normal Unix installation is made in three or four steps (after you've
+unpacked the source archive):
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make ahost adig acountry (optional)
+ make install
+
+You probably need to be root when doing the last command.
+
+If you have checked out the sources from the git repository, read the
+[GIT-INFO](GIT_INFO) on how to proceed.
+
+Get a full listing of all available configure options by invoking it like:
+
+ ./configure --help
+
+If you want to install c-ares in a different file hierarchy than /usr/local,
+you need to specify that already when running configure:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/c-ares/tree
+
+If you happen to have write permission in that directory, you can do `make
+install` without being root. An example of this would be to make a local
+install in your own home directory:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
+ make
+ make install
+
+More Options
+------------
+
+To force configure to use the standard cc compiler if both cc and gcc are
+present, run configure like
+
+ CC=cc ./configure
+ # or
+ env CC=cc ./configure
+
+To force a static library compile, disable the shared library creation
+by running configure like:
+
+ ./configure --disable-shared
+
+If you're a c-ares developer and use gcc, you might want to enable more
+debug options with the `--enable-debug` option.
+
+Special Cases
+-------------
+Some versions of uClibc require configuring with `CPPFLAGS=-D_GNU_SOURCE=1`
+to get correct large file support.
+
+The Open Watcom C compiler on Linux requires configuring with the variables:
+
+ ./configure CC=owcc AR="$WATCOM/binl/wlib" AR_FLAGS=-q \
+ RANLIB=/bin/true STRIP="$WATCOM/binl/wstrip" CFLAGS=-Wextra
+
+
+Win32
+=====
+
+
+Building Windows DLLs and C run-time (CRT) linkage issues
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+As a general rule, building a DLL with static CRT linkage is highly
+discouraged, and intermixing CRTs in the same app is something to
+avoid at any cost.
+
+Reading and comprehension of Microsoft Knowledge Base articles
+KB94248 and KB140584 is a must for any Windows developer. Especially
+important is full understanding if you are not going to follow the
+advice given above.
+
+ - [KB94248](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/94248/en-us) - How To Use the C Run-Time
+
+ - [KB140584](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140584/en-us) - How to link with the correct C Run-Time (CRT) library
+
+ - [KB190799](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235460) - Potential Errors Passing CRT Objects Across DLL Boundaries
+
+If your app is misbehaving in some strange way, or it is suffering
+from memory corruption, before asking for further help, please try
+first to rebuild every single library your app uses as well as your
+app using the debug multithreaded dynamic C runtime.
+
+MingW32
+-------
+
+Make sure that MinGW32's bin dir is in the search path, for example:
+
+ set PATH=c:\mingw32\bin;%PATH%
+
+then run 'make -f Makefile.m32' in the root dir.
+
+Cygwin
+------
+
+Almost identical to the unix installation. Run the configure script in the
+c-ares root with `sh configure`. Make sure you have the sh executable in
+`/bin/` or you'll see the configure fail toward the end.
+
+Run `make`
+
+MSVC 6 caveats
+--------------
+
+If you use MSVC 6 it is required that you use the February 2003 edition PSDK:
+http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm
+
+MSVC from command line
+----------------------
+
+Run the `vcvars32.bat` file to get a proper environment. The
+`vcvars32.bat` file is part of the Microsoft development environment and
+you may find it in `C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\vc98\bin`
+provided that you installed Visual C/C++ 6 in the default directory.
+
+Further details in [README.msvc](README.msvc)

+
+Important static c-ares usage note
+----------------------------------
+
+When building an application that uses the static c-ares library, you must
+add `-DCARES_STATICLIB` to your `CFLAGS`. Otherwise the linker will look for
+dynamic import symbols.
+
+
+IBM OS/2
+========
+
+Building under OS/2 is not much different from building under unix.
+You need:
+
+ - emx 0.9d
+ - GNU make
+ - GNU patch
+ - ksh
+ - GNU bison
+ - GNU file utilities
+ - GNU sed
+ - autoconf 2.13
+
+If during the linking you get an error about `_errno` being an undefined
+symbol referenced from the text segment, you need to add `-D__ST_MT_ERRNO__`
+in your definitions.
+
+If you're getting huge binaries, probably your makefiles have the `-g` in
+`CFLAGS`.
+
+
+QNX
+===
+
+(This section was graciously brought to us by David Bentham)
+
+As QNX is targeted for resource constrained environments, the QNX headers
+set conservative limits. This includes the `FD_SETSIZE` macro, set by default
+to 32. Socket descriptors returned within the c-ares library may exceed this,
+resulting in memory faults/SIGSEGV crashes when passed into `select(..)`
+calls using `fd_set` macros.
+
+A good all-round solution to this is to override the default when building
+c-ares, by overriding `CFLAGS` during configure, example:
+
+ # configure CFLAGS='-DFD_SETSIZE=64 -g -O2'
+
+
+RISC OS
+=======
+
+The library can be cross-compiled using gccsdk as follows:
+
+ CC=riscos-gcc AR=riscos-ar RANLIB='riscos-ar -s' ./configure \
+ --host=arm-riscos-aof --without-random --disable-shared
+ make
+
+where `riscos-gcc` and `riscos-ar` are links to the gccsdk tools.
+You can then link your program with `c-ares/lib/.libs/libcares.a`.
+
+
+NetWare
+=======
+
+To compile `libcares.a` / `libcares.lib` you need:
+
+ - either any gcc / nlmconv, or CodeWarrior 7 PDK 4 or later.
+ - gnu make and awk running on the platform you compile on;
+ native Win32 versions can be downloaded from:
+ http://www.gknw.net/development/prgtools/
+ - recent Novell LibC SDK available from:
+ http://developer.novell.com/ndk/libc.htm
+ - or recent Novell CLib SDK available from:
+ http://developer.novell.com/ndk/clib.htm
+
+Set a search path to your compiler, linker and tools; on Linux make
+sure that the var `OSTYPE` contains the string 'linux'; set the var
+`NDKBASE` to point to the base of your Novell NDK; and then type
+`make -f Makefile.netware` from the top source directory;
+
+Android
+=======
+
+Method using a configure cross-compile (tested with Android NDK r7b):
+
+ - prepare the toolchain of the Android NDK for standalone use; this can
+ be done by invoking the script:
+
+ ./tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh
+
+ which creates a usual cross-compile toolchain. Lets assume that you put
+ this toolchain below `/opt` then invoke configure with something
+ like:
+
+ ```
+ export PATH=/opt/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/bin:$PATH
+ ./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi [more configure options]
+ make
+ ```
+ - if you want to compile directly from our GIT repo you might run into
+ this issue with older automake stuff:
+
+ ```
+ checking host system type...
+ Invalid configuration `arm-linux-androideabi':
+ system `androideabi' not recognized
+ configure: error: /bin/sh ./config.sub arm-linux-androideabi failed
+ ```
+ this issue can be fixed with using more recent versions of `config.sub`
+ and `config.guess` which can be obtained here:
+ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=tree
+ you need to replace your system-own versions which usually can be
+ found in your automake folder:
+ `find /usr -name config.sub`
+
+
+CROSS COMPILE
+=============
+
+(This section was graciously brought to us by Jim Duey, with additions by
+Dan Fandrich)
+
+Download and unpack the c-ares package.
+
+`cd` to the new directory. (e.g. `cd c-ares-1.7.6`)
+
+Set environment variables to point to the cross-compile toolchain and call
+configure with any options you need. Be sure and specify the `--host` and
+`--build` parameters at configuration time. The following script is an
+example of cross-compiling for the IBM 405GP PowerPC processor using the
+toolchain from MonteVista for Hardhat Linux.
+
+```sh
+#! /bin/sh
+
+export PATH=$PATH:/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/bin
+export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/include"
+export AR=ppc_405-ar
+export AS=ppc_405-as
+export LD=ppc_405-ld
+export RANLIB=ppc_405-ranlib
+export CC=ppc_405-gcc
+export NM=ppc_405-nm
+
+./configure --target=powerpc-hardhat-linux \
+ --host=powerpc-hardhat-linux \
+ --build=i586-pc-linux-gnu \
+ --prefix=/opt/hardhat/devkit/ppc/405/target/usr/local \
+ --exec-prefix=/usr/local
+```
+
+You may also need to provide a parameter like `--with-random=/dev/urandom`
+to configure as it cannot detect the presence of a random number
+generating device for a target system. The `--prefix` parameter
+specifies where c-ares will be installed. If `configure` completes
+successfully, do `make` and `make install` as usual.
+
+In some cases, you may be able to simplify the above commands to as
+little as:
+
+ ./configure --host=ARCH-OS
+
+
