i have follow the INSTALL.REMOTEINC

Unreal 3.2.5
curl-7.15.4
c-ares: 1.3.1

hope this help

regards

[EDIT]

Problem solved!

I have found the error reason: curl 7.15.4 use that reference to ares_getsock that is not is present in c-ares 1.3.1. Why? Because this function is present only in a cvs version of c-ares and c-url was developed using this cvs version.

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2006-06/0061.html

However, for unrealircd installation with c-ares 1.3.1 (release version, not cvs) use curl 7.15.1, it runs and dont get errors.

[/EDIT]

hrm.... now c-ares 1.3.2 and curl 7.16.0 is out and the problem is already present....

there nobady who can write an workaround to use the newest versions instead of curl 7.15.3 ?

diskman

Ive had the same problem trying to compile UnrealIRCd with remote includes support. I just gave up and assumed it was my system.

no its not your system... all what you have to do is using curl7.15.3 isntead of the latest version...
with 7.15.3 all works fine

That version does indeed compile succesfully.
