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. * Contact information Please see http://www.nic.ad.jp/en/idn/ for the latest news about idnkit.
