2.1 Building the source

First, uncompress and unpack the distribution to a location of your choosing. The distribution will be extracted into a directory named `mydns-0.9.3'.

Change directory into the distribution directory, then run the configure script to configure the package for your system. The `INSTALL' file has full details on how the configure script works. Most installers will simply run configure with no additional arguments.

 
$ ./configure

MyDNS has a few MyDNS-specific configuration options. Run configure --help to output a summary of all options. After the configuration process is complete, build the package.

 
$ make

Then, if the build completed successfully, install the package.

 
# make install

The `mydns' binary should now be installed in the `sbin' dir beneath the prefix provided to the configure script, if any. By default it is installed as `/usr/local/sbin/mydns'.
