It is regularly tested to +compile on other systems like Solaris and Mac OS X. + +REQUIREMENTS +- OpenSSL (Optional, but needed for features like DNSSEC) +- libpcap (Optional, but needed for examples/ldns-dpa) +- (GNU) libtool (in OSX, that's glibtool, not libtool) +- GNU make + +INSTALLATION +1. Unpack the tarball +2. cd ldns-<VERSION> +3. ./configure +4. gmake (it needs gnu make to compile, on systems where GNU make is the + default you can just use 'make') +5. sudo gmake install +6. Optional. (cd examples; ./configure; gmake), make example programs included. +7. Optional. (cd drill; ./configure; gmake; gmake install), to build drill. + +You can configure and compile it in a separate build directory. + +* Examples +There are some examples and dns related tools in the examples/ directory. +These can be built with: +1. cd examples/ +2. ./configure [--with-ldns=<path to ldns installation or build>] +3. gmake + +* Drill +Drill can be built with: +1. cd drill/ +2. ./configure [--with-ldns=<path to ldns installation or build>] +3. gmake + +Note that you need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you want to run the binaries +and you have not installed the library to a system directory. You can use +the make target all-static for the examples to run them if you don't want to +install the library. + + +* Building from subversion repository + +If you are building from the repository you will need to have (gnu) +autotools like libtool and autoreconf installed. A list of all the commands +needed to build everything can be found in README.svn. Note that the actual +commands may be a little bit different on your machine. Most notable, you'll need to run libtoolize (or glibtoolize), if you skip this step, you'll get an error about missing config.sub. + +* Developers +ldns is developed by the ldns team at NLnet Labs. This team currently +consists of: + o Willem Toorop + o Wouter Wijngaards + o Matthijs Mekking + +Former main developers: + o Jelte Jansen + o Miek Gieben + +* Credits +We have received patches from the following people, thanks! + o Bedrich Kosata + o Erik Rozendaal + o Håkan Olsson + o Jakob Schlyter + o Paul Wouters + o Simon Vallet + o Ondřej Surý + + +INFORMATION FOR SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEMS + +MAC OS X + +For MACOSX 10.4 and later, it seems that you have to set the +MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable to 10.4 before running +make. Apparently it defaults to 10.1. + +This appears to be a known problem in 10.2 to 10.4, see: +http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1233.html +for more information. + + +SOLARIS + +In Solaris multi-architecture systems (that have both 32-bit and +64-bit support), it can be a bit taxing to convince the system to +compile in 64-bit mode. Jakob Schlyter has kindly contributed a build +script that sets the right build and link options. You can find it in +contrib/build-solaris.sh + +KNOWN ISSUES + +A complete list of currently known open issues can be found here: +http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/ldns/bugs + +* pyldns +Compiling pyldns produces many ``unused parameter'' warnings. Those are +harmless and may safely be ignored. +Also when building with Swig which version is before 2.0.4, compiling +pyldns produces many ``missing initializer'' warnings. Those are harmless +too. + +Your Support +NLnet Labs offers all of its software products as open source, most are +published under a BDS license. You can download them, not only from the +NLnet Labs website but also through the various OS distributions for +which NSD, ldns, and Unbound are packaged. We therefore have little idea +who uses our software in production environments and have no direct ties +with 'our customers'. + +Therefore, we ask you to contact us at users@NLnetLabs.nl and tell us +whether you use one of our products in your production environment, +what that environment looks like, and maybe even share some praise. +We would like to refer to the fact that your organization is using our +products. We will only do that if you explicitly allow us. In all other +cases we will keep the information you share with us to ourselves. + +In addition to the moral support you can also support us +financially.
