DOCUMENTATION
-------------
For full details, please read:
http://doc.powerdns.com/built-in-recursor.html
COMPILING
---------
$ ./configure
$ make or gmake
The only dependency is Boost, http://boost.org/
You only need to download it, there is no need to compile.
On most modern UNIX distributions, you can simply install 'boost' or
'boost-dev' or 'boost-devel'. If you don't have that option, or don't want
to use it, try:
1) head to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586 and
download the latest boost tar.bz2 or tar.gz, perhaps from:
http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/boost/boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2
(use the first link if this one doesn't work)
2) untar it:
$ tar xjf boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2
3) Compile the PowerDNS recursor using:
$ CXXFLAGS=-I./boost_1_33_1/ ./configure
$ CXXFLAGS=-I./boost_1_33_1/ make clean
$ CXXFLAGS=-I./boost_1_33_1/ make all
(the 'clean' is needed to have make pick up the new boost)
4) Run ./pdns_recursor and you should be set!
5) (g)make install
PLATFORM SPECIFIC NOTES
-----------------------
When compiling on Solaris, use:
$ CPPFLAGS=-DSOLARIS8 ... gmake
where ... stands for any possible CXXFLAGS or PROFILEFLAGS, see below.
PERFORMANCE
-----------
For the utmost in performance, compile like this:
$ PROFILEFLAGS=-fprofile-generate make
Then run the program for a bit, in as much of a real-life setting as you
have available. Then run:
$ rec_control quit
bye
Then do:
$ PROFILEFLAGS=-fprofile-use make clean all
The resulting binary is up to 20% faster in our tests.
Do run with g++ 4.1 if you can, it is the best.
RUNNING ON A DIFFERENT MACHINE
------------------------------
To prevent hassles with g++ 4.1 dependencies, you can build like this:
$ STATIC=semi make all
PROBLEMS
--------
If you have problems linking, try removing the GCC_SKIP_LOCKING line from
config.h
