This is release 4.9.3 of bind for OS/2 and emx 0.9b fix 4 (or newer).
To install just the take a look a the standard bind documentation.
The directory structure for the OS/2 port is laid down in named/pathnames.h.
The EMX runtime and TCP/IP have to be installed.
You will find the executables in the source directories (named/, tools/,
tools/nslookup), make install does (of course) not work.
Actual code is pretty unchanged, I adapted the makefiles, figured out a
suitable compat/lib/lib44bsd.a, read conf/protability.h very carefully :)
and while doing so my OS/2 turned into a unix-lookalike.
Especially named/Makefile contains one bad hardcoded hack (I was unable get
sed to work), I used tcsh 6.0.6 AND bash 1.12, to me, it seems that these
shells lack some features :) - well I'm very lost when it comes to shell
setup/shell features - I am awaiting your hints...
Look for __EMX__ defines in the code (you won't find many) to see what changed.
I removed the contrib/, shres/, doc/rfc/ directory from the original
distribution, some postscript files about DNS security were also removed.
To do:
o either replace makefiles with REXX scripts or craft'em right
o include a working sample configuration
o find and fix bugs in the port
I'm very interested in your comments and flames.
