README
1Introduction
2
3 ISC's libbind provides the standard resolver library,
4 along with header files and documentation, for communicating
5 with domain name servers, retrieving network host entries
6 from /etc/hosts or via DNS, converting CIDR network addresses,
7 perform Hesiod information lookups, retrieve network entries
8 from /etc/networks, implement TSIG transaction/request
9 security of DNS messages, perform name-to-address and
10 address-to-name translations, utilize /etc/resolv.conf
11 for resolver configuration.
12
13 It contains many of the same historical functions and headers
14 included with many Unix operating systems.
15
16 Originally written for BIND 8, it was included in BIND 9 as
17 optionally-compiled code through release 9.5. It has been
18 removed from subsequent releases of BIND 9 and is now
19 provided as a separate package.
20
21Building
22
23 The libbind library requires a system with an ANSI C compiler
24 and basic POSIX support.
25
26 To build, just
27
28 ./configure
29 make
30
31 Several environment variables that can be set before running
32 configure will affect compilation:
33
34 CC
35 The C compiler to use. configure tries to figure
36 out the right one for supported systems.
37
38 CFLAGS
39 C compiler flags. Defaults to include -g and/or -O2
40 as supported by the compiler.
41
42 STD_CINCLUDES
43 System header file directories. Can be used to specify
44 where add-on thread or IPv6 support is, for example.
45 Defaults to empty string.
46
47 STD_CDEFINES
48 Any additional preprocessor symbols you want defined.
49 Defaults to empty string.
50
51 Possible settings:
52 Change the default syslog facility of named/lwresd.
53 -DISC_FACILITY=LOG_LOCAL0
54 Enable DNSSEC signature chasing support in dig.
55 -DDIG_SIGCHASE=1 (sets -DDIG_SIGCHASE_TD=1 and
56 -DDIG_SIGCHASE_BU=1)
57 Disable dropping queries from particular well known ports.
58 -DNS_CLIENT_DROPPORT=0
59 Sibling glue checking in named-checkzone is enabled by default.
60 To disable the default check set. -DCHECK_SIBLING=0
61 named-checkzone checks out-of-zone addresses by default.
62 To disable this default set. -DCHECK_LOCAL=0
63 Enable workaround for Solaris kernel bug about /dev/poll
64 -DISC_SOCKET_USE_POLLWATCH=1
65 The watch timeout is also configurable, e.g.,
66 -DISC_SOCKET_POLLWATCH_TIMEOUT=20
67
68 LDFLAGS
69 Linker flags. Defaults to empty string.
70
71 The following need to be set when cross compiling.
72
73 BUILD_CC
74 The native C compiler.
75 BUILD_CFLAGS (optional)
76 BUILD_CPPFLAGS (optional)
77 Possible Settings:
78 -DNEED_OPTARG=1 (optarg is not declared in <unistd.h>)
79 BUILD_LDFLAGS (optional)
80 BUILD_LIBS (optional)
81
82 "make install" will install the library. By default, installation
83 is into /usr/local, but this can be changed with the "--prefix"
84 option when running "configure".
85
86 To see additional configure options, run "configure --help".
87
88 If you need to re-run configure please run "make distclean" first.
89 This will ensure that all the option changes take.
90
91Notes on Usage
92
93 - Installing both libbind and BIND 9 on the same system
94 will produce two incompatible header files with similar
95 names: $PREFIX/include/isc/list.h (from BIND 9) and
96 $PREFIX/include/bind/isc/list.h (from libbind). When
97 compiling code against libbind, be sure to set -I flags
98 appropriately.
99
100Documentation
101
102 Man pages for libbind routines, in *roff and plaintext format,
103 are included with the release.
