   3 To compile a very basic version, use:
   4
   5 $ ./configure --with-modules=""
   6 $ make
   7 # make install
   8
   9 This generates a PowerDNS binary with no modules, except the bind backend,
  10 built in. When ./configure is run without --with-modules, the mysql module
  11 is built by default.
  12
  13 To add multiple modules, try:
  14
  15 $ ./configure --with-modules="mysql pgmysql" --enable-mysql --enable-pgsql

  20 SOLARIS NOTES
  21 -------------
  22 You need gcc 3.x, preferably 3.2! The 'Sunpro' compiler is currently not
  23 supported (patches are welcome if not too intrusive).
  24 If you encounter problems with the Solaris make, gmake is advised
  25
  26 IPv6 is currently (2.9.1.) broken in Solaris, awaiting patches!
  27
  28 FREEBSD NOTES
  29 -------------
  30 gcc 2.95.x works. You need to compile using gmake - regular make only appears to
  31 work, but doesn't in fact.
  32
  33 LINUX NOTES
  34 -----------
  35 None really.
  36
  37 WIN32 NOTES
  38 -----------
  39 For the brave! See
  40 http://rtfm.powerdns.com/compiling-powerdns.html#ON-WINDOWS
  41
  42 Needs Visual C++

  46 After compiling, you may find the file 'pdns/pdns' helpful, we suggest you
  47 place it in /etc/init.d/ or your operating system's equivalent.
