Using BSD-style lwIP instead of Winsock TCP/IP stack in Win32 builds
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to compile libcurl and curl using BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack
it is necessary to make definition of preprocessor symbol USE_LWIPSOCK
visible to libcurl and curl compilation processes. To set this definition
you have the following alternatives:
- Modify lib/config-win32.h and src/config-win32.h
- Modify lib/Makefile.vc6
- Add definition to Project/Settings/C/C++/General/Preprocessor Definitions
in the vc6libcurl.dsw/vc6libcurl.dsp Visual C++ 6 IDE project.
Once that libcurl has been built with BSD-style lwIP TCP/IP stack support,
in order to use it with your program it is mandatory that your program
includes lwIP header file <lwip/opt.h> (or another lwIP header that includes
this) before including any libcurl header. Your program does not need the
USE_LWIPSOCK preprocessor definition which is for libcurl internals only.
Compilation has been verified with lwIP 1.4.0 and contrib-1.4.0 from:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lwip/lwip-1.4.0.zip
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lwip/contrib-1.4.0.zip
