This packages also includes the drill tool. &lfs90_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &ldns-md5sum; Download size: &ldns-size; Estimated disk space required: &ldns-buildsize; Estimated build time: &ldns-time; ldns Dependencies Optional and (for example programs), and (for Python bindings), and (for html documentation) User Notes: Install ldns by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc \ --disable-static \ --with-drill && make If you have installed and want to build html documentation, run the following command: make doc This package does not come with a working test suite. Now, as the root user: make install If you built html documentation, install it by running the following commands as the root user: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/ldns-&ldns-version; && install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/ldns-&ldns-version; --with-drill: This option enables building of the drill tool (used for obtaining debug information from DNS(SEC)) --disable-dane-ta-usage: This option disables DANE-TA (DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities) support. It is only needed if OpenSSL-1.1.0 or later is not installed. --with-examples: This option enables building of the example programs. --with-pyldns: This option enables building of the Python bindings.
