Is there any hope of getting xymon to compile against the system provided c-ares, or is xymon always going to bundle it? Just seems like it would be more efficient to use the system-provided c-ares if it's there...
The xymon build process ends up making a library which the various binaries incorporate, and I don't think it's dynamic or would pull in the live system version in this case. I know there's a make option to do a dynamic lib, but IIRC it's experimental.
That being said, with a few patches for CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS, xymon compiles fine with the current version of c-ares... The Terabithia RPMs all use 1.10.0, for example.
Thanks for the info. I was hoping to be able to change the build process for FreeBSD so it can pull in c-ares from the ports tree.
