Hi,

Here are brief instructions for compiling BIND 4.9.3 on Linux.
Could they please be placed in a file in the BIND distribution
somewhere?

====

By doing the following, BIND 4.9.3 will compile on Linux 1.1.29 using
gcc-2.5.8 + libc-4.5.26 + inc-4.5.26:

1) Delete (or rename) the compat/include/sys/cdefs.h header file.
   This allows gcc to pick up the correct <sys/cdefs.h> header file
   when compiling.

2) Change your <sys/param.h> header file to #include <sys/types.h>.
   BIND assumes <sys/param.h> includes <sys/types.h>.
   Note that later versions of <sys/param.h> on Linux will
   include this change.

3) Follow the regular BIND installation instructions.

Thanks,

Matt
