[#] See `checksec.sh `_ + +Building for packages +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The build system supports DESTDIR_ + +.. Our amalgamation has fallen into an unmaintained state and probably doesn't work. +.. and `amalgamated builds `_. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ make install DESTDIR=/tmp/stage +.. $ make all install AMALG=yes # Amalgamated build + +.. Amalgamated build assembles everything in one source file and compiles it. It is useful for packages, as the compiler sees the whole program and is able to produce a smaller and faster binary. On the other hand, it complicates debugging. + +.. tip:: There is a template for service file and AppArmor profile to help you kickstart the package. + +Default paths +~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The default installation follows FHS with several custom paths for configuration and modules. +All paths are prefixed with ``PREFIX`` variable by default if not specified otherwise. + + .. csv-table:: + :header: "Component", "Variable", "Default", "Notes" + + "library", "``LIBDIR``", "``$(PREFIX)/lib``", "pkg-config is auto-generated [#]_" + "daemon", "``SBINDIR``", "``$(PREFIX)/sbin``", "" + "configuration", "``ETCDIR``", "``$(PREFIX)/etc/knot-resolver``", "Configuration file, templates." + "modules", "``MODULEDIR``", "``$(LIBDIR)/kdns_modules``", "Runtime directory for loading dynamic modules [#]_." + "trust anchor file", "``KEYFILE_DEFAULT``", "*(none)*", "Path to read-only trust anchor file, which is used as fallback when no other file is specified. [#]_" + "work directory", "", "the current directory", "Run directory for daemon. (Only relevant during run time, not e.g. during installation.)" + +.. [#] The ``libkres.pc`` is installed in ``$(LIBDIR)/pkgconfig``. +.. [#] The default moduledir can be changed with `-m` option to `kresd` daemon or by calling `moduledir()` function from lua. +.. [#] If no other trust anchor is specified by user, the compiled-in path ``KEYFILE_DEFAULT`` must contain a valid trust anchor. This is typically used by distributions which provide DNSSEC root trust anchors as part of distribution package. Users can disable the built-in trust anchor by adding ``trust_anchors.keyfile_default = nil`` to their configuration. + +.. note:: Each module is self-contained and may install additional bundled files within ``$(MODULEDIR)/$(modulename)``. These files should be read-only, non-executable. + +Static or dynamic? +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +By default the resolver library is built as a dynamic library with versioned ABI. You can revert to static build with ``BUILDMODE`` variable. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ make BUILDMODE=dynamic # Default, create dynamic library + $ make BUILDMODE=static # Create static library + +When the library is linked statically, it usually produces a smaller binary. However linking it to various C modules might violate ODR and increase the size. + +Resolving dependencies +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The build system relies on `pkg-config`_ to find dependencies. +You can override it to force custom versions of the software by environment variables. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ make libknot_CFLAGS="-I/opt/include" libknot_LIBS="-L/opt/lib -lknot -ldnssec" + +Optional dependencies may be disabled as well using ``HAS_x=yes|no`` variable. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ make HAS_go=no HAS_cmocka=no + +.. warning:: If the dependencies lie outside of library search path, you need to add them somehow. + Try ``LD_LIBRARY_PATH`` on Linux/BSD, and ``DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH`` on OS X. + Otherwise you need to add the locations to linker search path. + +Building extras +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The project can be built with code coverage tracking using the ``COVERAGE=1`` variable. + +The `make coverage` target gathers both gcov code coverage for C files, and luacov_ code coverage for Lua files and merges it for analysis. It requires lcov_ to be installed. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ make coverage + +Running unit and integration tests +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The linter requires luacheck_ and `clang-tidy`_ and is executed by ``make lint``. +The unit tests require cmocka_ and are executed by ``make check``. +Tests for the dnstap module need go and are executed by ``make ckeck-dnstap``. + +The integration tests use Deckard, the `DNS test harness `_. + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ make check-integration + +Note that the daemon and modules must be installed first before running integration tests, the reason is that the daemon +is otherwise unable to find and load modules. + +Read the `documentation `_ for more information about requirements, how to run it and extend it. + +Getting Docker image +-------------------- + +Docker images require only either Linux or a Linux VM (see boot2docker_ on OS X). + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ docker run cznic/knot-resolver + +See the `Docker images`_ page for more information and options. +You can hack on the container by changing the container entrypoint to shell like: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash cznic/knot-resolver + +.. tip:: You can build the Docker image yourself with ``docker build -t knot-resolver scripts``. + +.. _Docker images: https://hub.docker.com/r/cznic/knot-resolver +.. _libuv: https://github.com/libuv/libuv +.. _MSVC: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/hh386302.aspx +.. _MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/ +.. _Dockerfile: https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/cznic/knot-resolver/dockerfile/ + +.. _Lua: https://www.lua.org/about.html +.. _LuaJIT: http://luajit.org/luajit.html +.. _Go: https://golang.org +.. _geoip: https://github.com/abh/geoip +.. _Doxygen: https://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/index.html +.. _breathe: https://github.com/michaeljones/breathe +.. _Sphinx: http://sphinx-doc.org/ +.. _sphinx_rtd_theme: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sphinx_rtd_theme +.. _GNU Make: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/ +.. _pkg-config: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/ +.. _libknot: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-dns +.. _cmocka: https://cmocka.org/ +.. _Python: https://www.python.org/ +.. _luasec: https://luarocks.org/modules/brunoos/luasec +.. _luasocket: https://luarocks.org/modules/luarocks/luasocket +.. _lua-http: https://luarocks.org/modules/daurnimator/http + +.. _boot2docker: http://boot2docker.io/ + +.. _deckard: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/deckard +.. _deckard_doc: https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/knot/knot-resolver/blob/master/tests/README.rst + +.. _libsystemd: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ +.. _dnstap: http://dnstap.info/ +.. _libprotobuf: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ +.. _libprotobuf-c: https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c/wiki +.. _libfstrm: https://github.com/farsightsec/fstrm +.. _luacheck: http://luacheck.readthedocs.io +.. _clang-tidy: http://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/index.html +.. _luacov: https://keplerproject.github.io/luacov/ +.. _lcov: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php + +.. _DESTDIR: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html -- cgit v1.2.3
