- Re-cloned zonemaster-ldns with --recurse-submodules so the bundled ldns C library source (including Changelog and configure.ac) is present - Added autoconf, automake, libtool to Dockerfile.backend ldns-build stage so libtoolize + autoreconf can generate ldns/configure during make Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Installation

===================================
|
|
|
|
**Prerequisites**
|
|
|
|
SWIG 1.3 and GNU make are required to build modules for Python 2.4 and higher
|
|
(but lower than 3). In order to build modules for Python 3.2 or higher,
|
|
SWIG in version 2.0.4 or higher is required.
|
|
|
|
Note that Python 3.0 and 3.1 are not supported.
|
|
|
|
In order to build this documentation the Sphinx Python documentation generator
|
|
is required.
|
|
|
|
**Download**
|
|
|
|
The latest source codes can be downloaded from `here`_.
|
|
|
|
.. _here: http://nlnetlabs.nl/projects/ldns/
|
|
|
|
**Compiling**
|
|
|
|
After downloading the source code archive (this example uses
|
|
ldns-1.6.13.tar.gz), pyLDNS can be enabled and compiled by typing::
|
|
|
|
> tar -xzf ldns-1.6.13.tar.gz
|
|
> cd ldns-1.6.13
|
|
> ./configure --with-pyldns
|
|
> make
|
|
|
|
You need GNU make to compile pyLDNS; SWIG and Python development libraries to
|
|
compile the extension module.
|
|
|
|
**Selecting Target Python Interpreter**
|
|
|
|
By default, the pyLDNS module builds for the default Python interpreter (i.e.,
|
|
the Python interpreter which can be accessed by just typing ``python`` in
|
|
the command line). If you desire to build the pyLDNS module for a different
|
|
Python version then you must specify the desired Python version by setting
|
|
the ``PYTHON_VERSION`` variable during the configure phase::
|
|
|
|
> PYTHON_VERSION=3.2 ./configure --with-pyldns
|
|
> make
|
|
|
|
By default the pyLDNS compiles from sources for a single Python interpreter.
|
|
Remember to execute scripts requiring pyLDNS in those Python interpreters which
|
|
have pyLDNS installed.
|
|
|
|
**Testing**
|
|
|
|
If the compilation is successful, you can test the python LDNS extension module
|
|
by executing the commands::
|
|
|
|
> cd contrib/python
|
|
> make testenv
|
|
> ./ldns-mx.py
|
|
|
|
Again, remember to use the Python interpreter version which the pyLDNS module
|
|
has been compiled with.
|
|
|
|
The commands will start a new shell, in which several symbolic links will be
|
|
set-up. When you exit the shell, then symbolic links will be deleted.
|
|
|
|
In ``contrib/python/examples`` several simple Python scripts utilising pyLDNS
|
|
can be found. These scripts demonstrate the capabilities of the LDNS library.
|
|
|
|
**Installation**
|
|
|
|
To install the libraries and it's extensions type::
|
|
|
|
> cd ldns-1.6.13
|
|
> make install
|
