C.2. Instructions for BIND 9.1.0
Here's how to compile and install BIND 9.1.0 on your Linux host.
C.2.1. Get the Source Code
As with BIND 8.2.3, you've got to get the source code first.
And again, this requires FTPing to ftp.isc.org :
% cd /tmp
% ftp ftp.isc.org.
Connected to isrv4.pa.vix.com.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.1 Server (ISC FTP Server) [ftp.isc.org]
Name (ftp.isc.org.:user): ftp
331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your password.
Password:
230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>
Change to the right directory and get the file you need:
ftp> cd /isc/bind9/9.1.0/
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> get bind-9.1.0.tar.gz
local: bind-9.1.0.tar.gz remote: bind-9.1.0.tar.gz
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for bind-9.1.0.tar.gz (3299471 bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
3299471 bytes received in 92.4 secs (35 Kbytes/sec)
ftp> quit
221 Goodbye.
C.2.2. Unpack the Source Code
Use the
tar command to uncompress and
un
tar the compressed
tar
file:
% tar zxvf bind-9.1.0.tar.gz
Unlike the BIND 8.2.3 distribution, this will create a
bind-9.1.0 subdirectory of your working
directory for all of the BIND source code. (BIND 8 distributions
always unpacked everything into the working directory.) The
bind-9.1.0 subdirectory will have subdirectories
called:
- bin
- Source code for all BIND binaries, including
named.
- contrib
- Contributed tools.
- doc
- Documentation for BIND, including the invaluable Administrator
Resource Manual.
- lib
- Source code for libraries used by BIND.
- make
- Makefiles.
C.2.3. Run Configure and Build Everything
Also unlike BIND 8, BIND 9 uses the near-miraculous
configure script to determine the appropriate
includes and compiler settings. Read through the README file to
determine whether you need any special settings.
configure supports command-line options that
allow you to build without threads, use a different installation
directory, and much more. To run
configure :
% ./configure
Or, if you need to disable threads, for example, run:
% ./configure disable-threads
To build BIND, type:
% make all
The source code should compile without errors. To install BIND, type
this as root:
# make install
That's all there
is!
