Source code is available on GitHub:
-```
-$ git clone https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns.git
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns.git
```
This repository contains the sources for the PowerDNS Recursor, the PowerDNS
On Debian 8.0, the following is useful:
-```
-$ apt-get install g++ libboost-all-dev libtool make pkg-config libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev
+```sh
+apt-get install g++ libboost-all-dev libtool make pkg-config libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev virtualenv
```
When building from git, the following packages are also required: autoconf, automake,
ragel, bison and flex, then generate the configure file:
-```
-$ ./bootstrap
+```sh
+autoreconf -vi
```
To compile a very clean version, use:
-```
-$ ./configure --with-modules="" --without-lua
-$ make
+```sh
+./configure --with-modules="" --without-lua --disable-lua-records
+make
# make install
```
To add multiple modules, try:
-```
-$ ./configure --with-modules="bind gmysql gpgsql"
+```sh
+./configure --with-modules="bind gmysql gpgsql"
```
Note that you will need the development headers for PostgreSQL as well in this case.
If you run into C++11-related symbol trouble, please try passing `CPPFLAGS=-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0` (or 1) to `./configure` to make sure you are compatible with the installed dependencies.
-On macOS, you may need to `brew install openssl` and set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig` during configure.

-SOLARIS NOTES
+Solaris Notes
-------------
Use a recent gcc. OpenCSW is a good source, as is Solaris 11 IPS.
If you encounter problems with the Solaris make, gmake is advised.
-FREEBSD NOTES
+FreeBSD Notes
-------------
You need to compile using gmake - regular make only appears to work, but doesn't in fact. Use gmake, not make.
The clang compiler installed through FreeBSD's package manager does not expose all of the C++11 features needed under `std=gnuc++11`. Force the compiler to use `std=c++11` mode instead.
- export CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11
+```sh
+export CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11
+```
-MAC OS X NOTES

+macOS Notes
+-----------
PowerDNS Authoritative Server is available through Homebrew:
```
-$ brew install pdns
+brew install pdns
```
If you want to compile yourself, the dependencies can be installed using
-Homebrew:
+Homebrew. You need to tell configure where to find OpenSSL, too.
+```sh
+brew install boost lua pkg-config ragel openssl
+./configure --with-modules="" --with-lua PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig
+make -j4
```
-$ brew install boost lua pkg-config ragel
-```
-
-For PostgreSQL support:
-```
-$ brew install postgresql
-```
-
-For MySQL support:
-
-```
-$ brew install mariadb
-```
+Additionally, for PostgreSQL support, run `brew install postgresql` and add `--with-modules="gpsql"` to `./configure`.
+For MySQL support, run `brew install mariadb` and add `--with-modules="gmysql"` to `./configure`.
