BIND 9 IDN support
Japan Network Information Center (JPNIC)
* Compilation & installation
0. Prerequisite
You have to build and install idnkit before building bind9.
1. Running configure script
Run `configure' in the top directory. See `README' for the
configuration options.
The following four options to `configure' are relevant to IDN. You
should at least specify `--with-idn' option to enable IDN support.
--with-idn[=IDN_PREFIX]
To enable IDN support, you have to specify `--with-idn' option.
The argument IDN_PREFIX is the install prefix of idnkit. If
IDN_PREFIX is omitted, PREFIX (derived from `--prefix=PREFIX')
is assumed.
--with-libiconv[=LIBICONV_PREFIX]
Specify this option if idnkit you have installed links GNU
libiconv. The argument LIBICONV_PREFIX is install prefix of
GNU libiconv. If the argument is omitted, PREFIX (derived
from `--prefix=PREFIX') is assumed.
`--with-libiconv' is shorthand option for GNU libiconv.
--with-libiconv=/usr/local
This is equivalent to:
--with-iconv='-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib -liconv'
`--with-libiconv' assumes that your C compiler has `-R'
option, and that the option adds the specified run-time path
to an executable binary. If `-R' option of your compiler has
different meaning, or your compiler lacks the option, you
should use `--with-iconv' option instead. Binary command
without run-time path information might be unexecutable.
In that case, you would see an error message like:
error in loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot
open shared object file
If both `--with-libiconv' and `--with-iconv' options are
specified, `--with-iconv' is prior to `--with-libiconv'.
--with-iconv=ICONV_LIBSPEC
If your libc doesn't provide iconv(), you need to specify the
library containing iconv() with this option. `ICONV_LIBSPEC'
is the argument(s) to `cc' or `ld' to link the library, for
example, `--with-iconv="-L/usr/local/lib -liconv"'.
You don't need to specify the header file directory for "iconv.h"
to the compiler, as it isn't included directly by bind9.
--with-idnlib=IDN_LIBSPEC
With this option, you can explicitly specify the argument(s)
to `cc' or `ld' to link the idnkit's library, `libidnkit'. If
this option is not specified, `-L${PREFIX}/lib -lidnkit' is
assumed, where ${PREFIX} is the installation prefix specified
with `--with-idn' option above. You may need to use this
option to specify extra arguments, for example,
`--with-idnlib="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib -lidnkit"'.
Please consult `README' for other configuration options.
Note that if you want to specify some extra header file directories,
you should use the environment variable STD_CINCLUDES instead of
CFLAGS, as described in README.
2. Compilation and installation
After running "configure", just do
make
make install
for compiling and installing.
