These +are the instructions on how to compile the software. For information +on how to create your configuration files (resolv.conf, named.boot, and +zone files) see the doc/bog directory and/or get "DNS and BIND" by C. +Liu and P. Albitz from O'Reilly & Associates, Sebastopol, CA, ISBN +0-937175-82-X 1992 + +Note: If you maintain a BSD or are otherwise running a 4.4BSD-based system + and want to integrate BIND into it, check out BSD/README. + +1. (optional) If you are going to compile for multiple platforms, you +can make a symbolic link tree for each platform to save disk space. To +create a directory called "sun4.dir", do: + make DST=sun4.dir links +Now "cd sun4.dir" and you can do everything as if you had a complete +copy of the source. Just be careful if you are modifying a file, make +sure you turn any links into files: + mv file file.tmp ; cp file.tmp file ; rm file.tmp + +2. Edit "conf/options.h" and turn on any options that you want. The +defaults are pretty reasonable for most installations. + +3. Edit "Makefile". Go to the section that describes your operating +system and uncoment it out. Add any other variables (for example, +I added a line "DISTHELP=/usr/local/lib".) If in doubt, use the +default! + +4. "make" should build everything. Consider putting "./bin" in your +path if "make depend" fails and you think bin/mkdep will help you out. + + *** NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE *** + + The next step (#5) will burn down files which were supplied with + your operating system. You should run the suggested "-n" first + and make sure you have saved any files you want to save. + + *** NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE *** + +5. "make install" will install everything. You might first do +"make -n install" to see what commands would be executed by "make install" +to make sure you understand where everything is about to be installed. + +6. (optional, SunOS 4.1.x/NetBSD-1.x/Solaris 2.x only): You can integrate +the new resolver (client-side) code into the shared libraries of your +operating system so that all dynamicly linked programs take advantage of +the new resolver. Read shres/<osname>/INSTALL to find out how to do it. + + + +HOW TO GET HELP: +---------------- +If you have any problems or fixes send them to + bind@uunet.uu.net + +To be added to that mailing list, send mail to + bind-request@uunet.uu.net + + + +This INSTALL was originally written on 15Jul94 by Tom Limoncelli <tal@plts.org> +Minor changes 23Dec95 by Christopher Davis <ckd@kei.com> |
