ISC BIND 9.8 - How to compile it for Linux, Solaris and Windows

ISC BIND 8 (9.8.x) was End-of-Life (EOL) as of Sep 2014 :(
There are a lot of servers use it. The final version is 9.8.8 so I decided to share my experience when compiling it.

The ISC site removed the link to download BIND 9.8 :(
http://www.isc.org/downloads/
Can try to search on their FTP ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/

Luckily, we can get the ISC BIND DNS 9.8 source from
http://ftp.riken.jp/net/bind/9.8.8/
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.8.8/

Linux and Solaris 64 bit
Copy and extract the compressed file bind-9.8.8.tar.gz

cd /opt/mydns/bind98
tar -xvf bind-9.8.8.tar.gz
cd bind-9.8.8
mkdir linux
mkdir linux/bind988
# mkdir solaris

But first, we have to compile 3rd party libraries: OpenSSL, Libxml2, Kerberos
All of them have to be Static and 64 bit
Put them at /opt/buildtools
- http://tuan.nguoianphu.com/OpenSSL_compile_for_Linux_Solaris_Windows
- http://tuan.nguoianphu.com/LibXML2_compile_for_Linux_Solaris_Windows
- http://tuan.nguoianphu.com/Kerberos_compile_for_Linux_Solaris_Windows

Create a new configure file config_bind.sh to compile BIND.
Put it in /opt/mydns/bind98/bind-9.8.8

Compile the BIND source

export PLATFORM=linux-gc33
cd /opt/mydns/bind98/bind-9.8.8
chmod +x config_bind.sh
cd linux
../config_bind.sh
make
make install
cd bind988/sbin
./named -v
./named -V

Windows 32 bit

Build BIND with VS 2010, for VS 2013 please see page of build BIND 9.10.x.

Copy and extract the compressed file bind-9.8.8.tar.gz to C:\bind

We have to compile 3rd party libraries: OpenSSL, Libxml2, Kerberos
Built them as static and 32bit for Windows.
Put them at C:\buildtools
- http://tuan.nguoianphu.com/OpenSSL_compile_for_Linux_Solaris_Windows
- http://tuan.nguoianphu.com/LibXML2_compile_for_Linux_Solaris_Windows
- http://tuan.nguoianphu.com/Kerberos_compile_for_Linux_Solaris_Windows

However, there are some errors when compile the ISC BIND. The root cause comes from BIND configured file (OMG!).
So we must do these steps for the 3rd party libraries:

Openssl
COPY
C:\buildtools\openssl\openssl-1.0.1j\win32\include
TO
C:\buildtools\openssl\openssl-1.0.1j\win32\inc32

COPY the FILES inside
C:\buildtools\openssl\openssl-1.0.1j\win32\bin
AND the FILES inside
C:\buildtools\openssl\openssl-1.0.1j\win32\lib
TO
C:\buildtools\openssl\openssl-1.0.1j\win32\out32dll

Kerberos
COPY the FILES inside
C:\buildtools\kerberos\krb5-1.13\win32\lib
TO
C:\buildtools\kerberos\krb5-1.13\win32\lib\i386

Libxml2
COPY the FILES inside
C:\buildtools\libxml2\libxml2-2.9.2\win32\lib
AND the FILES inside
C:\buildtools\libxml2\libxml2-2.9.2\win32\bin
TO
C:\buildtools\libxml2\libxml2-2.9.2\win32\win32\bin.msvc

Run configuration for source code

Go to C:\bindbind-9.8.8\win32utils

There is a error in the Configure file, we have to hack it :(
Open the Configure and replace this line:

if (!grep { -f and -x } $vcredist_path) {

TO

if (grep { -f and -x } $vcredist_path) {

BIND 9.8.8: Line 1915
BIND 9.9.6-P1: Line 1923

Skip these steps if you done when compiling Kerberos.
We have to install Perl (Active Perl) and Python (Active Python).
And the gawk tool.
Extract it to C:\gawk
Install Cygwin to get or find these files:
grep.exe
mv.exe
rm.exe
cat.exe
sed.exe
Copy them to C:\gawk\bin

Open cmd and

cd C:\bindbind-9.8.8\win32utils

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\gawk\bin

perl Configure win32 with-openssl=C:\buildtools\openssl\openssl-1.0.1j\win32 with-libxml2=C:\buildtools\libxml2\libxml2-2.9.2\win32 with-gssapi=C:\buildtools\kerberos\krb5-1.13\win32 with-vcredist="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC"

For BIND 9.8.8, we also have to remove this line (line 28) in bind9.sln (OMG! again)

{FD653434-F1A8-44A9-85B2-A7468491DA6D} = {FD653434-F1A8-44A9-85B2-A7468491DA6D}

OK, let's compile it!

msbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release
