18 SOURCE CODE / GIT

19 -----------------

20 Source code is available on GitHub:

22 ```

23 $ git clone https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns.git

24 ```

26 This repository contains the sources for the PowerDNS Recursor, the PowerDNS

27 Authoritative Server, and dnsdist (a powerful DNS loadbalancer). All three can

28 be built from this repository. However, all three released separately as .tar.bz2,

29 .deb and .rpm.

31 COMPILING Authoritative Server

32 ------------------------------

33 The PowerDNS Authoritative Server depends on Boost, OpenSSL and requires a

34 compiler with C++-2011 support.

36 On Debian 8.0, the following is useful:

38 ```

39 $ apt-get install g++ libboost-all-dev libtool make pkg-config libmysqlclient-dev libssl-dev

40 ```

42 When building from git, the following packages are also required: autoconf, automake,

43 ragel, bison and flex, then generate the configure file:

45 ```

46 $ ./bootstrap

47 ```

49 To compile a very clean version, use:

51 ```

52 $ ./configure --with-modules="" --without-lua

53 $ make

54 # make install

55 ```

57 This generates a PowerDNS Authoritative Server binary with no modules built in.

59 When `./configure` is run without `--with-modules`, the bind and gmysql module are

60 built-in by default and the pipe-backend is compiled for runtime loading.

62 To add multiple modules, try:

64 ```

65 $ ./configure --with-modules="bind gmysql gpgsql"

66 ```

68 Note that you will need the development headers for PostgreSQL as well in this case.

70 See https://doc.powerdns.com/md/appendix/compiling-powerdns/ for more details.

72 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.

74 On macOS, you may need to `brew install openssl` and set `PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig` during configure.

76 COMPILING THE RECURSOR

77 ----------------------

78 See the README in pdns/recursordist.

80 COMPILING DNSDIST

81 ----------------------

82 See the README in pdns/dnsdistdist.

84 SOLARIS NOTES

85 -------------

86 Use a recent gcc. OpenCSW is a good source, as is Solaris 11 IPS.

88 If you encounter problems with the Solaris make, gmake is advised.

90 FREEBSD NOTES

91 -------------

92 You need to compile using gmake - regular make only appears to work, but doesn't in fact. Use gmake, not make.

94 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.

96 export CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11

98 MAC OS X NOTES

99 --------------

100 PowerDNS Authoritative Server is available through Homebrew:

101

102 ```

103 $ brew install pdns

104 ```

105

106 If you want to compile yourself, the dependencies can be installed using

107 Homebrew:
