* Development 
ldns is mainly developed on Linux and FreeBSD. 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.

IFORMATION 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
