Building libllresolv

libresolv / libllresolv

These are instructions for a custom build of libresolv (part of the ISC BIND9 package) for Linux, since as far as we can discover, every build of libresolv.{a,so} on common Linux distributions is either misbuilt or hopelessly runtime-incompatible on other distributions.

This is only (currently) of interest for the Linux client, as OSX and Win32 have alternative reasonably- nonbroken implementations of the functionality we care about.

BUILD:

• 1) wget http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.4.1/bind-9.4.1.tar.gz
• 2) tar -xvzf bind-9.4.1.tar.gz
• 3) cd bind-9.4.1
• 4) CC=gcc-3.4 ./configure --disable-openssl-version-check --disable-threads --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-libbind --disable-atomic --disable-linux-caps --with-openssl=no
• 5) make
• 6) cd lib/bind
• 7) gcc-3.4 -shared -Wl,-soname,libresolv.so.2 */*.o -o libresolv.so

COPY TO VIEWER TREE:

• 8) copy libresolv.so to libraries/i686-linux/lib_release_client/

You're done.
