BIND 9.7 for Win32 Source Build Instructions. 02-Jul-2009
Building BIND 9.7 on Windows XP/2003/2008 has the following prerequisites:
1) You need to install Perl for Windows. ActivePerl
(http://www.activestate.com/) and Strawberry Perl
(http://www.strawberryperl.com) have both been tested and found
to work.
2) OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org) needs to be downloaded and built
on the system on which you are building BIND.
3) If you wish to use the statistics channel, LibXML2
(ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2) needs to be downloaded and built on
the system on which you are building BIND. (If you do not wish
to use the statistics channel, remove HAVE_LIBXML2 from config.h.win32.)
4) If you want to build using Visual C++ 6.0, you'll need some extra
files that are to be found in the Platform SDK (which you will need
to install), namely:
iphlpapi.h
iptypes.h
ipexport.h
iphlpapi.lib
You'll also need an updated Iprtrmib.h - using the VC++6.0 one will
get you some compilation errors. You can just overwrite the old one if
you're not using it for any purposes, and maybe keep a backup of it.
You can copy the header files under VC98\INCLUDE and the library file
under VC98\LIB. I think you can also put them in a separate directory
and add it to the include search list, but I don't know if that can be
made persistent.
For building on VC++ 7.0 no extra files are required.
The instructions assume a Visual C++ 6.0 compiler with Visual Studio and
Visual Studio Service Pack 3 or later. It may build and work with earlier
versions but it has not been tested. The binaries may be built and run on
any of the following platforms: NT 4.0 Workstation (SP3 or later), NT 4.0
Server (SP3 or later), Windows 2000 Professional (SP1 or later),
Windows 2000 Server or any kind (SP1 or later), Windows XP, Windows 2003
Server. It will NOT build or run on Windows 95, Windows 98, etc. platforms.
Step 1: Download and build OpenSSL
Download and untar the OpenSSL sources from http://www.openssl.org/.
Extract them at in the same directory in which you extracted the BIND9
source: If BIND9 is in \build\bind-9.7.0, for instance, OpenSSL should be
in \build\openssl-0.9.8l (subject to version number changes).
Note: Building OpenSSL requires that you install Perl as it uses
it during its build process. The following commands work as of
openssl-0.9.8l, but you should check the OpenSSL distribution
to see if the build instructions have changed:
cd openssl-0.9.8l
perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:/openssl
ms\do_masm
nmake /f ms\ntdll.mak
If you wish to use PKCS #11 to control a cryptographic hardware service
module, please see bind9\README.pkcs11. You will need to apply the patch
in bind9\bin\pkcs11\openssl-0.9.8l-patch (this can be done using the Cygwin
'patch' utility) and add --pk11-libname and --pk11-flavor to the Configure
command above.
Step 2: Download and build libxml2
Download and untar the libxml2 sources from ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2.
Extract them at in the same directory in which you extracted the BIND9
source: If BIND9 is in \build\bind-9.7.0, for instance, libxml2 should
be in \build\libxml2-2.7.3 (subject to version number changes).
Now build libxml2, and copy the resulting files into the include and lib
directories:
cd libxml2-2.7.3\win32
cscript configure.js compiler=msvc vcmanifest=yes static=yes debug=no iconv=no
nmake /f Makefile.msvc libxml
Step 3: Building BIND
You must build openssl and libxml2 first.
From the command prompt cd to the win32utils directory under
the BIND9 root:
cd bind-9.7.0\win32utils
If you wish to use PKCS #11 to control a cryptographic hardware service
module, set the path to the PKCS #11 provider library:
perl setpk11provider.pl <DLL path>
If using VC++ 6.0, run the BuildAll.bat file:
BuildAll
This will do the following:
1) copy config.h.win32 to config.h in the root.
2) create the versions.h file in the root.
3) Build the gen application in the lib/dns directory.
4) Run the gen application and build the required lib/dns header
files.
5) Create the Build/Release subdirectory under the root of the BIND
source tree which will hold the binaries being built.
6) Build the libraries, named, application tools like dig, rndc
dnssec tools, installer, checkconf and checkzones programs,
BIND 9 Installer.
7) Copies the release notes and the OpenSSL DLL to the BUILD/Release
directory.
8) Copies the BIND 9 ARM HTML files and the application HTML files
to the Build\Release area.
If you wish to use the Visual Studio GUI for building, you can just
run the BuildSetup.bat file:
BuildSetup
This will create or find and copy into place several files which are
necessary for the build to proceed. It also locates and copies into place
the DLLs for OpenSSL and libxml2.
Use BINDBuild.dsw (also located in the win32utils directory) to open the
workspace for all of the BIND9 libraries and applications. Select
"Build->Batch Build", click "Select All", then click "Build".
After the build has completed, run the BuildPost.bat file:
BuildPost
...which does post-build processing.
Installation is accomplished by running the BINDInstall program. All DLL's
are copied to the system32 area and all applications (including BINDInstall
which may be necessary for uninstalling BIND 9) to the dns/bin directory.
If BIND 8 has previously been installed on the system it must be uninstalled
first by running it's own BINDInstall program. The BIND 9 installer does
not yet do this.
All bugs found, whether in the process of building the application or
running BIND or the tools should be reported to the bind9 bugs email
account at bind9-bugs@isc.org.
