21 Source code is available on GitHub:
23 $ git clone https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns.git
25 This repository contains the sources both for the PowerDNS Recursor and for PowerDNS Authoritative Server,
26 and both can be built from this repository. Both are released separately as .tar.bz2, .deb and .rpm however!
28 COMPILING Authoritative Server
29 ------------------------------
30 PowerDNS Authoritative Server 3.0 and beyond depend on Boost.
32 On Debian 7.0, the following is useful:
34 apt-get install autoconf automake bison flex g++ git libboost-all-dev libtool make pkg-config ragel libmysqlclient-dev
36 If you build from git, first build configure:
40 (You may need to do that twice. You also need libtool-1.4, 1.3 won't work.
41 Autoconf 2.61 or newer and Automake 1.11 or newer are required, too.)
43 To compile a very clean version, use:
45 $ ./configure --with-modules="" --without-lua
49 This generates a PowerDNS Authoritative Server binary with no modules built in.
51 When `./configure` is run without `--with-modules`, the bind and gmysql module are
52 built-in by default and the pipe-backend is compiled for runtime loading.
54 To add multiple modules, try:
56 $ ./configure --with-modules="bind gmysql gpgsql"
58 See http://doc.powerdns.com/compiling-powerdns.html for more details.
60 COMPILING THE RECURSOR
61 ----------------------
62 The portable, and supported, way to build the recursor is:
64 $ cd pdns/recursordist
70 You need `autoconf`, `libtool` and `automake` installed to bootstrap it.
71 Furthermore, when building from git `boost`, `pandoc`, `ragel` and `zip` are build dependencies.
75 Use a recent gcc. OpenCSW is a good source, as is Solaris 11 IPS.
77 If you encounter problems with the Solaris make, gmake is advised.
81 You need to compile using gmake - regular make only appears to work, but doesn't in fact. Use gmake, not make.
85 PowerDNS Authoritative Server is available through Homebrew:
89 If you want to compile yourself, the dependencies can be installed using
92 $ brew install boost lua pkg-config ragel
94 For PostgreSQL support:
96 $ brew install postgresql
100 $ brew install mariadb
