   3 To compile a very clean 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 and
  11 pgmysql modules is built by default, with the latter only supporting mysql.
  12
  13 To add multiple modules, try:
  14
  15 $ ./configure --with-modules="pipe pgmysql" --enable-mysql --enable-pgsql
  16
  17 See http://rtfm.powerdns.com/compiling-powerdns.html for more details.
  18
  19 Please don't use the 'mysql' backend, it is deprecated. Use the 'gmysql' one
  20 that is in the pgmysql Generic PostgreSQL and MySQL module!

  22 SOLARIS NOTES
  23 -------------
  24 You need gcc 3.x, preferably 3.2! The 'Sunpro' compiler is currently not
  25 supported (patches are welcome if not too intrusive).
  26
  27 If you encounter problems with the Solaris make, gmake is advised
  28
  29 IPv6 is currently (2.9.1.) broken in Solaris, awaiting patches!
  30
  31 FREEBSD NOTES
  32 -------------
  33 gcc 2.95.x works. You need to compile using gmake - regular make only appears to
  34 work, but doesn't in fact. Use gmake, not make.
  35
  36 LINUX NOTES
  37 -----------
  38 None really.
  39
  40 WIN32 NOTES
  41 -----------
  42 For the brave! See
  43 http://rtfm.powerdns.com/compiling-powerdns.html#ON-WINDOWS
  44
  45 Needs Visual C++

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