20 ldns is mainly developed on Linux and FreeBSD. It is regularly tested to
21 compile on other systems like Solaris and Mac OS X.
24 - OpenSSL (Optional, but needed for features like DNSSEC)
25 - OpenSSL >= 0.9.7f for DANE support
26 - OpenSSL >= 1.0.0 for ECDSA and GOST support
27 - libpcap (Optional, but needed for examples/ldns-dpa)
28 - (GNU) libtool (in OSX, that's glibtool, not libtool)
34 3. ./configure --with-examples --with-drill
35 (optionally compile python bindings too with: --with-pyldns)
40 * Building from repository
42 If you are building from the repository you will need to have (gnu)
43 autotools like libtool and autoreconf installed. A list of all the commands
44 needed to build everything can be found in README.git. Note that the actual
45 commands may be a little bit different on your machine. Most notably, you'll
46 need to run libtoolize (or glibtoolize). If you skip this step, you'll get
47 an error about missing config.sub.
50 ldns is developed by the ldns team at NLnet Labs. This team currently

75 INFORMATION FOR SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEMS
79 For MACOSX 10.4 and later, it seems that you have to set the
80 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable to 10.4 before running
81 make. Apparently it defaults to 10.1.
83 This appears to be a known problem in 10.2 to 10.4, see:
84 http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1233.html
90 In Solaris multi-architecture systems (which have both 32-bit and
91 64-bit support), it can be a bit taxing to convince the system to
92 compile in 64-bit mode. Jakob Schlyter has kindly contributed a build
93 script that sets the right build and link options. You can find it in
94 contrib/build-solaris.sh
98 A complete list of currently known open issues can be found here:

102 Compiling pyldns produces many ``unused parameter'' warnings. Those are
103 harmless and may safely be ignored.
104 Also, when building with SWIG older than 2.0.4, compiling
105 pyldns produces many ``missing initializer'' warnings. Those are harmless
109 NLnet Labs offers all of its software products as open source, most
110 published under a BSD license. You can download them, not only from the
111 NLnet Labs website but also through the various OS distributions for
112 which NSD, ldns, and Unbound are packaged. We therefore have little idea
113 who uses our software in production environments and have no direct ties
114 with 'our customers'.
116 Therefore, we ask you to contact us at users@NLnetLabs.nl and tell us
117 whether you use one of our products in your production environment,
118 what that environment looks like, and maybe even share some praise.
119 We would like to refer to the fact that your organization is using our
120 products. We will only do that if you explicitly allow us. In all other
121 cases we will keep the information you share with us to ourselves.
123 In addition to the moral support you can also support us
124 financially. NLnet Labs is a recognized not-for-profit charity foundation
125 that is chartered to develop open-source software and open-standards
126 for the Internet. If you use our software to satisfaction please express
127 that by giving us a donation. For small donations PayPal can be used. For
128 larger and regular donations please contact us at users@NLnetLabs.nl. Also
