Introduction
ISC's libbind provides the standard resolver library,
along with header files and documentation, for communicating
with domain name servers, retrieving network host entries
from /etc/hosts or via DNS, converting CIDR network addresses,
perform Hesiod information lookups, retrieve network entries
from /etc/networks, implement TSIG transaction/request
security of DNS messages, perform name-to-address and
address-to-name translations, utilize /etc/resolv.conf
for resolver configuration.
It contains many of the same historical functions and headers
included with many Unix operating systems.
Originally written for BIND 8, it was included in BIND 9 as
optionally-compiled code through release 9.5. It has been
removed from subsequent releases of BIND 9 and is now
provided as a separate package.
Building
The libbind library requires a system with an ANSI C compiler
and basic POSIX support.
To build, just
./configure
make
Several environment variables that can be set before running
configure will affect compilation:
CC
The C compiler to use. configure tries to figure
out the right one for supported systems.
CFLAGS
C compiler flags. Defaults to include -g and/or -O2
as supported by the compiler.
STD_CINCLUDES
System header file directories. Can be used to specify
where add-on thread or IPv6 support is, for example.
Defaults to empty string.
STD_CDEFINES
Any additional preprocessor symbols you want defined.
Defaults to empty string.
Possible settings:
Change the default syslog facility of named/lwresd.
-DISC_FACILITY=LOG_LOCAL0
Enable DNSSEC signature chasing support in dig.
-DDIG_SIGCHASE=1 (sets -DDIG_SIGCHASE_TD=1 and
-DDIG_SIGCHASE_BU=1)
Disable dropping queries from particular well known ports.
-DNS_CLIENT_DROPPORT=0
Sibling glue checking in named-checkzone is enabled by default.
To disable the default check set. -DCHECK_SIBLING=0
named-checkzone checks out-of-zone addresses by default.
To disable this default set. -DCHECK_LOCAL=0
Enable workaround for Solaris kernel bug about /dev/poll
-DISC_SOCKET_USE_POLLWATCH=1
The watch timeout is also configurable, e.g.,
-DISC_SOCKET_POLLWATCH_TIMEOUT=20
LDFLAGS
Linker flags. Defaults to empty string.
The following need to be set when cross compiling.
BUILD_CC
The native C compiler.
BUILD_CFLAGS (optional)
BUILD_CPPFLAGS (optional)
Possible Settings:
-DNEED_OPTARG=1 (optarg is not declared in <unistd.h>)
BUILD_LDFLAGS (optional)
BUILD_LIBS (optional)
"make install" will install the library. By default, installation
is into /usr/local, but this can be changed with the "--prefix"
option when running "configure".
To see additional configure options, run "configure --help".
If you need to re-run configure please run "make distclean" first.
This will ensure that all the option changes take.
Notes on Usage
- Installing both libbind and BIND 9 on the same system
will produce two incompatible header files with similar
names: $PREFIX/include/isc/list.h (from BIND 9) and
$PREFIX/include/bind/isc/list.h (from libbind). When
compiling code against libbind, be sure to set -I flags
appropriately.
Documentation
Man pages for libbind routines, in *roff and plaintext format,
are included with the release.
Bug Reports and Mailing Lists
Bugs reports should be sent to
libbind-bugs@isc.org
Discussions of libbind can be send to the BIND Users mailing
list. To subscribe, send mail to:
bind-users-subscribe@isc.org
Archives of that list can be found at:

If you're planning on making changes to the libbind source
code, you might want to join the BIND Workers mailing list.
