     --with-libtool &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/isc-config.sh{,-32}

N32

     --enable-threads --with-libtool &&
make

    --enable-threads --with-libtool &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/isc-config.sh{,-64} &&
ln -sfv multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/isc-config.sh

Named User/Group

groupadd -g 52 named &&
useradd -c 'BIND User' -d /srv/named -g named -s /bin/false -u 52 named

BootScript

Install the init script included in the bootscripts package.

make install-bind

Basic structure for the chroot environment

install -dv /srv/named/{dev,etc/namedb/{pz,slave},var/run} &&
mknod -m666 /srv/named/dev/null c 1 3 &&
mknod -m666 /srv/named/dev/zero c 1 5 &&
mknod -m666 /srv/named/dev/random c 1 8 &&
cp -L /etc/localtime /srv/named/etc/localtime

Configuration

Time premiting, the configuration for bind will be put here. For the time being, the following link cam be used to set up a simple lookup nameserver.
