5f5bb44065a3e7f506e4afd4d81c89da2931bf1bBob Halley To build shared libraries, specify "--with-libtool" on the
5f5bb44065a3e7f506e4afd4d81c89da2931bf1bBob Halley configure command line.
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley For the server to support DNSSEC, you need to build it
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley with crypto support. You must have OpenSSL 0.9.5a
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley or newer installed and specify "--with-openssl" on the
4efe2e812cf8462ed781bfd79b644eaf17d6d2b7Andreas Gustafsson configure command line. If OpenSSL is installed under
4efe2e812cf8462ed781bfd79b644eaf17d6d2b7Andreas Gustafsson a nonstandard prefix, you can tell configure where to
4efe2e812cf8462ed781bfd79b644eaf17d6d2b7Andreas Gustafsson look for it using "--with-openssl=/prefix".
9b19b39170eaf78ae1baf39acca0be462c2faa4cAndreas Gustafsson On some platforms it is necessary to explictly request large
413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson file support to handle files bigger than 2GB. This can be
413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson done by "--enable-largefile" on the configure command line.
4efe2e812cf8462ed781bfd79b644eaf17d6d2b7Andreas Gustafsson On some platforms, BIND 9 can be built with multithreading
4efe2e812cf8462ed781bfd79b644eaf17d6d2b7Andreas Gustafsson support, allowing it to take advantage of multiple CPUs.
413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson You can specify whether to build a multithreaded BIND 9
413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson by specifying "--enable-threads" or "--disable-threads"
ff1e17749c7bf976f7127467c1816abeb3f4b998Brian Wellington on the configure command line. The default is operating

413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson Support for the "fixed" rrset-order option can be enabled
413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson or disabled by specifying "--enable-fixed-rrset" or
672a41b5fef7722803645c1f0ca132972f0f940aAndreas Gustafsson "--disable-fixed-rrset" on the configure command line.
672a41b5fef7722803645c1f0ca132972f0f940aAndreas Gustafsson The default is "disabled", to reduce memory footprint.
413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson If your operating system has integrated support for IPv6, it
413d5565ba2af24f12dc54d6e6807af7f1a39867Andreas Gustafsson will be used automatically. If you have installed KAME IPv6
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley separately, use "--with-kame[=PATH]" to specify its location.
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley "make install" will install "named" and the various BIND 9 libraries.
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley By default, installation is into /usr/local, but this can be changed
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley with the "--prefix" option when running "configure".
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley You may specify the option "--sysconfdir" to set the directory
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley where configuration files like "named.conf" go by default,
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley and "--localstatedir" to set the default parent directory
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley of "run/named.pid". For backwards compatibility with BIND 8,
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley --sysconfdir defaults to "/etc" and --localstatedir defaults to
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley "/var" if no --prefix option is given. If there is a --prefix
36983956d7c3d9e294903eeda29548f67ac17daeBob Halley option, sysconfdir defaults to "$prefix/etc" and localstatedir
