Hi Gün,

Relative to the current regression state in which it is impossible to
build libcurl with c-ares and memory tracking enabled, you have
several options...

1) The easy way. Revert the renaming of config.h to curl_config.h and
ares_config.h.

2) Modify c-ares API in order to make c-ares capable of using memory
functions provided/specified by the program or library using c-ares.
This will obviously require some changes in how libcurl initializes
c-ares in order to specify the memory functions.

3) Somehow modify include path(s) to make the magic happen again.

Option two would be another step towards minimizing the build time
coupling between c-ares and libcurl, and should allow using libcurl's
memory tracking even with with a c-ares shared library. It could
happen that memory tracking isn't the last step in fully decoupling
c-ares from libcurl autobuilds, in this case further analysis and work
would be required or option one would be equally required.

Option three would further tighten the already existing coupling
situation, and would require deep examination of non-automake
makefiles to make sure no build regression is introduced.

HTH,
