## Supported platforms
In general, this version of BIND will build and run on any POSIX-compliant
system with a C11-compliant C compiler, BSD-style sockets with RFC-compliant
IPv6 support, and POSIX-compliant threads, plus the following mandatory
libraries:
- `libuv` for asynchronous I/O operations and event loops
- `libssl` and `libcrypto` from OpenSSL for cryptography
Use of the following libraries is optional:
- `libjemalloc` for improved memory allocation performance
- `libnghttp2` for DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) support
The following C11 features are used in BIND 9:
* Atomic operations support, either in the form of C11 atomics or
`__atomic` builtin operations.
* Thread Local Storage support, either in the form of C11
`_Thread_local`/`thread_local`, or the `__thread` GCC extension.
The C11 variants are preferred.
BIND 9.17 requires a fairly recent version of `libuv` (at least 1.x). For
some of the older systems listed below, you will have to install an updated
`libuv` package from sources such as EPEL, PPA, or other native sources for
updated packages. The other option is to build and install `libuv` from
source.
Certain optional BIND features have additional library dependencies.
These include:
* `libfstrm` and `libprotobuf-c` for DNSTAP
* `libidn2` for display of internationalized domain names in `dig`
* `libjson-c` for JSON statistics
* `libmaxminddb` for geolocation
* `libnghttp2` for DNS over HTTPS
* `libxml2` for XML statistics
* `libz` for compression of the HTTP statistics channel
* `readline` for line editing in `nsupdate` and `nslookup`
ISC regularly tests BIND on many operating systems and architectures, but
lacks the resources to test all of them. Consequently, ISC is only able to
offer support on a "best effort" basis for some.
### Regularly tested platforms
As of Dec 2021, BIND 9.17 is fully supported and regularly tested on the
following systems:
* Debian 9, 10, 11
* Ubuntu LTS 18.04, 20.04
* Fedora 35
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS / Oracle Linux 7, 8
* FreeBSD 12.3, 13.0
* OpenBSD 7.0
* Alpine Linux 3.15
The amd64, i386, armhf and arm64 CPU architectures are all fully supported.
### Best effort
The following are platforms on which BIND is known to build and run.
ISC makes every effort to fix bugs on these platforms, but may be unable
to do so quickly due to lack of hardware, less familiarity on the part
of engineering staff, and other constraints. None of these are tested
regularly by ISC.
* macOS 10.12+
* Solaris 11
* NetBSD
* Other Linux distributions still supported by their vendors, such as:
* Ubuntu 20.10+
* Gentoo
* Arch Linux
* OpenWRT/LEDE 17.01+
* Other CPU architectures (mips, mipsel, sparc, ...)
### Community maintained
These systems may not all have the required dependencies for building BIND
easily available, although it will be possible in many cases to compile
those directly from source. The community and interested parties may wish
to help with maintenance, and we welcome patch contributions, although we
cannot guarantee that we will accept them. All contributions will be
assessed against the risk of adverse effect on officially supported
platforms.
* Platforms past or close to their respective EOL dates, such as:
* Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 (Ubuntu ESM releases are not supported)
* CentOS 6
* Debian Jessie
* FreeBSD 10.x, 11.x
## Unsupported platforms
These are platforms on which BIND 9.17 is known *not* to build or run:
* Platforms without at least OpenSSL 1.0.2
* Windows
* Solaris 10 and older
* Platforms that don't support IPv6 Advanced Socket API (RFC 3542)
* Platforms that don't support atomic operations (via compiler or library)
* Linux without NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library)
* Platforms on which `libuv` cannot be compiled

At a minimum, BIND requires a Unix or Linux system with an ANSI C compiler,
basic POSIX support, and a 64-bit integer type. BIND also requires the
`libuv` asynchronous I/O library, the `nghttp2` HTTP/2 library, the
`jemalloc` memory allocation library, and the OpenSSL cryptography
library. On Linux, BIND requires the `libcap` library to set process
privileges, though this requirement can be overridden by disabling
capability support at compile time. See [Compile-time options](#opts)
below for details on other libraries that may be required to support
optional features.
Successful builds have been observed on many versions of Linux and Unix,
including RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, SLES, openSUSE,
Slackware, Alpine, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, macOS, Solaris, OpenIndiana,
OmniOS CE, HP-UX, and OpenWRT.
To build on a Unix or Linux system, use:
$ autoreconf -fi (if you are building in the git repository)
$ ./configure
$ make
If you're using Emacs, you might find `make tags` helpful.
Several environment variables, which can be set before running `configure`,
affect compilation. Significant ones are:
|Variable|Description |
|--------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|`CC`|The C compiler to use. `configure` tries to figure out the right one for supported systems.|
|`CFLAGS`|C compiler flags. Defaults to include -g and/or -O2 as supported by the compiler. Please include '-g' if you need to set `CFLAGS`. |
|`LDFLAGS`|Linker flags. Defaults to empty string.|
Additional environment variables affecting the build are listed at the
end of the `configure` help text, which can be obtained by running the
command:
$ ./configure --help
#### <a name="macos"> macOS
Building on macOS assumes that the "Command Tools for Xcode" are installed.
These can be downloaded from
[https://developer.apple.com/download/more/](https://developer.apple.com/download/more/)
or, if you have Xcode already installed, you can run `xcode-select --install`.
(Note that an Apple ID may be required to access the download page.)
#### <a name="dependencies"> Dependencies
To build BIND you need to have the following packages installed:
libuv
pkg-config / pkgconfig / pkgconf
To build BIND from the git repository, you need the following tools
installed:
autoconf (includes autoreconf)
automake
libtool
#### <a name="opts"/> Compile-time options
To see a full list of configuration options, run `configure --help`.
For the server to support DNSSEC, you need to build it with crypto support.
To use OpenSSL, you must have OpenSSL 1.0.2e or newer installed. If the
OpenSSL library is installed in a nonstandard location, specify the prefix
using `--with-openssl=<PREFIX>` on the configure command line. To use a
PKCS#11 hardware service module for cryptographic operations, it will
be necessary to compile and use engine_pkcs11 from the OpenSC project.
To support DNS over HTTPS, the server must be linked with `libnghttp2`.
To support the HTTP statistics channel, the server must be linked with at
least one of the following libraries: `libxml2`
[http://xmlsoft.org](http://xmlsoft.org) or `json-c`
[https://github.com/json-c/json-c](https://github.com/json-c/json-c).
If these are installed at a nonstandard location, then:
* for `libxml2`, specify the prefix using `--with-libxml2=/prefix`.
* for `json-c`, adjust `PKG_CONFIG_PATH`.
To support compression on the HTTP statistics channel, the server must be
linked against `libzlib`. If this is installed in a nonstandard location,
specify the prefix using `--with-zlib=/prefix`.
To support storing configuration data for runtime-added zones in an LMDB
database, the server must be linked with `liblmdb`. If this is installed in a
nonstandard location, specify the prefix using `with-lmdb=/prefix`.
To support MaxMind GeoIP2 location-based ACLs, the server must be linked
with `libmaxminddb`. This is turned on by default if the library is
found; if the library is installed in a nonstandard location,
specify the prefix using `--with-maxminddb=/prefix`. GeoIP2 support
can be switched off with `--disable-geoip`.
For DNSTAP packet logging, you must have installed `libfstrm`
[https://github.com/farsightsec/fstrm](https://github.com/farsightsec/fstrm)
and `libprotobuf-c`
[https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers),
and BIND must be configured with `--enable-dnstap`.
Certain compiled-in constants and default settings can be decreased to
values better suited to small machines, e.g. OpenWRT boxes, by specifying
`--with-tuning=small` on the `configure` command line. This decreases
memory usage by using smaller structures, but degrades performance.
On Linux, process capabilities are managed in user space using
the `libcap` library, which can be installed on most Linux systems via
the `libcap-dev` or `libcap-devel` package. Process capability support can
also be disabled by configuring with `--disable-linux-caps`.
On some platforms it is necessary to explicitly request large file support
to handle files bigger than 2GB. This can be done by using
`--enable-largefile` on the `configure` command line.
Support for the "fixed" rrset-order option can be enabled or disabled by
specifying `--enable-fixed-rrset` or `--disable-fixed-rrset` on the
configure command line. By default, fixed rrset-order is disabled to
reduce memory footprint.
The `--enable-querytrace` option causes `named` to log every step of
processing every query. The `--enable-singletrace` option turns on the
same verbose tracing, but allows an individual query to be separately
traced by setting its query ID to 0. These options should only be enabled
when debugging, because they have a significant negative impact on query
performance.
`make install` installs `named` and the various BIND 9 libraries. By
default, installation is into /usr/local, but this can be changed with the
`--prefix` option when running `configure`.
You may specify the option `--sysconfdir` to set the directory where
configuration files like `named.conf` go by default, and `--localstatedir`
to set the default parent directory of `run/named.pid`. `--sysconfdir`
defaults to `$prefix/etc` and `--localstatedir` defaults to `$prefix/var`.

Building BIND 9
---------------
To build on a Unix or Linux system, use:
::
$ autoreconf -fi ### (only if building from the git repository)
$ ./configure
$ make
Several environment variables affect compilation, and they can be set
before running ``configure``. The most significant ones are:
+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| Variable | Description |
+====================+=================================================+
| ``CC`` | The C compiler to use. ``configure`` tries to |
| | figure out the right one for supported systems. |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| ``CFLAGS`` | The C compiler flags. Defaults to include -g |
| | and/or -O2 as supported by the compiler. Please |
| | include ``-g`` if ``CFLAGS`` needs to be set. |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
| ``LDFLAGS`` | The linker flags. Defaults to an empty string. |
+--------------------+-------------------------------------------------+
Additional environment variables affecting the build are listed at the
end of the ``configure`` help text, which can be obtained by running the
command:
::
$ ./configure --help
If using Emacs, the ``make tags`` command may be helpful.
.. _build_dependencies:
Required Libraries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To build BIND 9, the following packages must be installed:
- ``libcrypto``, ``libssl``
- ``libuv``
- ``perl``
- ``pkg-config`` / ``pkgconfig`` / ``pkgconf``
BIND 9.19 requires ``libuv`` 1.x or higher. On older systems, an updated
``libuv`` package needs to be installed from sources such as EPEL, PPA,
or other native sources. The other option is to build and install
``libuv`` from source.
OpenSSL 1.0.2e or newer is required. If the OpenSSL library is installed
in a nonstandard location, specify the prefix using
``--with-openssl=<PREFIX>`` on the ``configure`` command line. To use a
PKCS#11 hardware service module for cryptographic operations,
``engine_pkcs11`` from the OpenSC project must be compiled and used.
To build BIND from the git repository, the following tools must also be
installed:
- ``autoconf`` (includes ``autoreconf``)
- ``automake``
- ``libtool``
Optional Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To see a full list of configuration options, run ``configure --help``.
To improve performance, use of the ``jemalloc`` library
(http://jemalloc.net/) is strongly recommended.
To support :rfc:`DNS over HTTPS (DoH) <8484>`, the server must be linked
with ``libnghttp2`` (https://nghttp2.org/). If the library is
unavailable, ``--disable-doh`` can be used to disable DoH support.
To support the HTTP statistics channel, the server must be linked with
at least one of the following libraries: ``libxml2``
(http://xmlsoft.org) or ``json-c`` (https://github.com/json-c/json-c).
If these are installed at a nonstandard location, then:
- for ``libxml2``, specify the prefix using ``--with-libxml2=/prefix``,
- for ``json-c``, adjust ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH``.
To support compression on the HTTP statistics channel, the server must
be linked against ``zlib`` (https://zlib.net/). If this is installed in
a nonstandard location, specify the prefix using
``--with-zlib=/prefix``.
To support storing configuration data for runtime-added zones in an LMDB
database, the server must be linked with ``liblmdb``
(https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb). If this is installed in a nonstandard
location, specify the prefix using ``--with-lmdb=/prefix``.
To support MaxMind GeoIP2 location-based ACLs, the server must be linked
with ``libmaxminddb`` (https://maxmind.github.io/libmaxminddb/). This is
turned on by default if the library is found; if the library is
installed in a nonstandard location, specify the prefix using
``--with-maxminddb=/prefix``. GeoIP2 support can be switched off with
``--disable-geoip``.
For DNSTAP packet logging, ``libfstrm``
(https://github.com/farsightsec/fstrm) and ``libprotobuf-c``
(https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers) must be installed, and
BIND must be configured with ``--enable-dnstap``.
To support internationalized domain names in ``dig``, ``libidn2``
(https://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/#libidn2) must be installed. If the
library is installed in a nonstandard location, specify the prefix using
``--with-libidn2=/prefix`` or adjust ``PKG_CONFIG_PATH``.
For line editing in ``nsupdate`` and ``nslookup``, either the
``readline`` (https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html) or
the ``libedit`` library (https://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/) must be
installed. If these are installed at a nonstandard location, adjust
``PKG_CONFIG_PATH``. ``readline`` is used by default, and ``libedit``
can be explicitly requested using ``--with-readline=libedit``.
Certain compiled-in constants and default settings can be decreased to
values better suited to small machines, e.g. OpenWRT boxes, by
specifying ``--with-tuning=small`` on the ``configure`` command line.
This decreases memory usage by using smaller structures, but degrades
performance.
On Linux, process capabilities are managed in user space using the
``libcap`` library
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libcap/libcap.git/), which can be
installed on most Linux systems via the ``libcap-dev`` or
``libcap-devel`` package. Process capability support can also be
disabled by configuring with ``--disable-linux-caps``.
On some platforms it is necessary to explicitly request large file
support to handle files bigger than 2GB. This can be done by using
``--enable-largefile`` on the ``configure`` command line.
Support for the “fixed” RRset-order option can be enabled or disabled by
specifying ``--enable-fixed-rrset`` or ``--disable-fixed-rrset`` on the
``configure`` command line. By default, fixed RRset-order is disabled to
reduce memory footprint.
The ``--enable-querytrace`` option causes ``named`` to log every step
while processing every query. The ``--enable-singletrace`` option turns
on the same verbose tracing, but allows an individual query to be
separately traced by setting its query ID to 0. These options should
only be enabled when debugging, because they have a significant negative
impact on query performance.
``make install`` installs ``named`` and the various BIND 9 libraries. By
default, installation is into /usr/local, but this can be changed with
the ``--prefix`` option when running ``configure``.
The option ``--sysconfdir`` can be specified to set the directory where
configuration files such as ``named.conf`` go by default;
``--localstatedir`` can be used to set the default parent directory of
``run/named.pid``. ``--sysconfdir`` defaults to ``$prefix/etc`` and
``--localstatedir`` defaults to ``$prefix/var``.
macOS
~~~~~
Building on macOS assumes that the “Command Tools for Xcode” are
installed. These can be downloaded from
https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ or, if Xcode is already
installed, simply run ``xcode-select --install``. (Note that an Apple ID
may be required to access the download page.)

Supported Platforms
-------------------
To build on Unix-like systems, BIND requires support for POSIX.1c
threads (IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995), the Advanced Sockets API for IPv6
(:rfc:`3542`), and standard atomic operations provided by the C
compiler.
The libuv asynchronous I/O library and the OpenSSL cryptography library
must be available for the target platform. A PKCS#11 provider can be
used instead of OpenSSL for Public Key cryptography (i.e., DNSSEC
signing and validation), but OpenSSL is still required for general
cryptography operations such as hashing and random number generation.
More information can be found in the ``PLATFORMS.md`` file that is
included in the source distribution of BIND 9. If your compiler and
system libraries provide the above features, BIND 9 should compile and
run. If that is not the case, the BIND development team will generally
accept patches that add support for systems that are still supported by
their respective vendors.
See the :ref:`supported_os` section in the :ref:`Requirements` chapter.

Supported Platforms
-------------------
Current support status of various platforms and BIND 9 versions can be
found in the ISC Knowledgebase:
https://kb.isc.org/docs/supported-platforms
In general, this version of BIND will build and run on any
POSIX-compliant system with a C11-compliant C compiler, BSD-style
sockets with RFC-compliant IPv6 support, POSIX-compliant threads, and
the :ref:`required libraries <build_dependencies>`.
The following C11 features are used in BIND 9:
- Atomic operations support, either in the form of C11 atomics or
``__atomic`` builtin operations.
- Thread Local Storage support, either in the form of C11
``_Thread_local``/``thread_local``, or the ``__thread`` GCC
extension.
The C11 variants are preferred.
ISC regularly tests BIND on many operating systems and architectures,
but lacks the resources to test all of them. Consequently, ISC is only
able to offer support on a “best effort” basis for some.
Regularly tested platforms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of Jan 2022, BIND 9.19 is fully supported and regularly tested on the
following systems:
- Debian 9, 10, 11
- Ubuntu LTS 18.04, 20.04
- Fedora 35
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS / Oracle Linux 7, 8
- FreeBSD 12.3, 13.0
- OpenBSD 7.0
- Alpine Linux 3.15
The amd64, i386, armhf and arm64 CPU architectures are all fully
supported.
Best effort
~~~~~~~~~~~
The following are platforms on which BIND is known to build and run. ISC
makes every effort to fix bugs on these platforms, but may be unable to
do so quickly due to lack of hardware, less familiarity on the part of
engineering staff, and other constraints. None of these are tested
regularly by ISC.
- macOS 10.12+
- Solaris 11
- NetBSD
- Other Linux distributions still supported by their vendors, such as:
- Ubuntu 20.10+
- Gentoo
- Arch Linux
- OpenWRT/LEDE 17.01+
- Other CPU architectures (mips, mipsel, sparc, …)
Community maintained
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These systems may not all have the required dependencies for building
BIND easily available, although it will be possible in many cases to
compile those directly from source. The community and interested parties
may wish to help with maintenance, and we welcome patch contributions,
although we cannot guarantee that we will accept them. All contributions
will be assessed against the risk of adverse effect on officially
supported platforms.
- Platforms past or close to their respective EOL dates, such as:
- Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 (Ubuntu ESM releases are not supported)
- CentOS 6
- Debian Jessie
- FreeBSD 10.x, 11.x
Unsupported Platforms
---------------------
These are platforms on which BIND 9.19 is known *not* to build or run:
- Platforms without at least OpenSSL 1.0.2
- Windows
- Solaris 10 and older
- Platforms that don’t support IPv6 Advanced Socket API (RFC 3542)
- Platforms that don’t support atomic operations (via compiler or
library)
- Linux without NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library)
- Platforms on which ``libuv`` cannot be compiled
