BIND-9 IDN patch
Japan Network Information Center (JPNIC)
* What is this patch for?
This patch adds internationalized domain name (IDN) support to BIND-9.
You'll get internationalized version of dig/host/nslookup commands.
+ internationalized dig/host/nslookup
dig/host/nslookup accepts non-ASCII domain names in the local
codeset (such as Shift JIS, Big5 or ISO8859-1) determined by
the locale information. The domain names are normalized and
converted to the encoding on the DNS protocol, and sent to DNS
servers. The replies are converted back to the local codeset
and displayed.
* Compilation & installation
0. Prerequisite
You have to build and install idnkit before building this patched version
of bind-9.
1. Running configure script
Run `configure' in the top directory. See `README' for the
configuration options.
This patch adds the following 4 options to `configure'. You should
at least specify `--with-idn' option to enable IDN support.
--with-idn[=IDN_PREFIX]
To enable IDN support, you have to specify `--with-idn' option.
The argument IDN_PREFIX is the install prefix of idnkit. If
IDN_PREFIX is omitted, PREFIX (derived from `--prefix=PREFIX')
is assumed.
--with-libiconv[=LIBICONV_PREFIX]
Specify this option if idnkit you have installed links GNU
libiconv. The argument LIBICONV_PREFIX is install prefix of
GNU libiconv. If the argument is omitted, PREFIX (derived
from `--prefix=PREFIX') is assumed.
`--with-libiconv' is shorthand option for GNU libiconv.
--with-libiconv=/usr/local
This is equivalent to:
--with-iconv='-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib -liconv'
`--with-libiconv' assumes that your C compiler has `-R'
option, and that the option adds the specified run-time path
to an exacutable binary. If `-R' option of your compiler has
different meaning, or your compiler lacks the option, you
should use `--with-iconv' option instead. Binary command
without run-time path information might be unexecutable.
In that case, you would see an error message like:
error in loading shared libraries: libiconv.so.2: cannot
open shared object file
If both `--with-libiconv' and `--with-iconv' options are
specified, `--with-iconv' is prior to `--with-libiconv'.
--with-iconv=ICONV_LIBSPEC
If your libc doens't provide iconv(), you need to specify the
library containing iconv() with this option. `ICONV_LIBSPEC'
is the argument(s) to `cc' or `ld' to link the library, for
example, `--with-iconv="-L/usr/local/lib -liconv"'.
You don't need to specify the header file directory for "iconv.h"
to the compiler, as it isn't included directly by bind-9 with
this patch.
--with-idnlib=IDN_LIBSPEC
With this option, you can explicitly specify the argument(s)
to `cc' or `ld' to link the idnkit's library, `libidnkit'. If
this option is not specified, `-L${PREFIX}/lib -lidnkit' is
assumed, where ${PREFIX} is the installation prefix specified
with `--with-idn' option above. You may need to use this
option to specify extra argments, for example,
`--with-idnlib="-L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib -lidnkit"'.
Please consult `README' for other configuration options.
Note that if you want to specify some extra header file directories,
you should use the environment variable STD_CINCLUDES instead of
CFLAGS, as described in README.
2. Compilation and installation
After running "configure", just do
make
make install
for compiling and installing.
