+
+Building BIND 9 on Windows has the following prerequisites:
+
+1) You need to install Perl for Windows. ActivePerl
+(http://www.activestate.com/) and Strawberry Perl
+(http://www.strawberryperl.com) have both been tested and found
+to work.
+
+2) libuv (https://libuv.org/) must be downloaded and built on the
+system on which you are building BIND 9.
+
+3) OpenSSL (https://www.openssl.org) must be downloaded and built on
+the system on which you are building BIND 9.
+
+4) If you wish to use the statistics channel, LibXML2
+(ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2) must be downloaded and built on
+the system on which you are building BIND 9.
+
+5) Optional external packages (not used by default)
+
+If you wish to use IP geolocation, GeoIP API and database must be
+downloaded, patched and built on the system on which you are building
+BIND 9.
+
+If you wish to use zlib/deflate on the statistics channel, zlib
+must be downloaded and built on the system on which you are building
+BIND 9.
+
+If you wish to use python tools, you need a python (version 2 or 3)
+interpreter with its standard libraries.
+
+If you wish to use readline, the readline library must be downloaded
+and built on the system on which you are building BIND 9.
+
+6) The BIND 9 Installer (BINDInstall) includes a copy of the
+redistributable runtime object vcredist_x86.exe (or vcredist_x64.exe),
+which is included with Visual Studio and can be downloaded from
+Microsoft. This file must be in place prior to running Configure.
+
+Step 1: Download and build libuv
+
+ Download and untar the libuv sources from https://libuv.org/ in the same
+ directory in which you extracted the BIND 9 source: if BIND 9 is in
+ \build\bind-9.16.9, for instance, libuv should be in \build\libuv-v1.40.0
+ (subject to version number changes).
+
+ As of this writing, a patch (win32utils/libuv.diff) needs to be applied
+ to the libuv source code in order for it to work with BIND on Windows. A
+ pull request including the changes from this patch has been submitted to
+ the libuv maintainers:
+
+ https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/2653
+
+ Applying the win32utils/libuv.diff patch will no longer be necessary
+ for libuv versions released after this pull request has been merged.
+
+ On Windows, libuv is built using CMake. Here is a sample sequence of
+ commands which builds a 64-bit shared libuv library:
+
+ cd libuv-v1.40.0
+ mkdir build
+ cd build
+ cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 ..
+ cmake --build . --config Release
+
+Step 2: Download and build OpenSSL
+
+ Download and untar the OpenSSL sources from https://www.openssl.org/ in
+ the same directory in which you extracted the BIND 9 source: if BIND 9 is
+ in \build\bind-9.16.0, for instance, OpenSSL should be in
+ \build\openssl-1.1.1d (subject to version number changes).
+
+ Note: Building OpenSSL requires that you install Perl and NASM as it
+ uses these during its build process. The following commands work as of
+ openssl-1.1.1d, but you should check the OpenSSL distribution to see
+ if the build instructions in the INSTALL file have changed:
+
+ (In an x64 Visual Studio Command Prompt window)
+ cd openssl-1.1.1d
+ perl Configure VC-WIN64A
+ nmake
+
+Step 3: Download and build LibXML2
+
+ LibXML2 is required to use the statistics channel. If you wish to
+ build BIND 9 without support for this feature, skip to step 4.
+
+ Download and untar the libxml2 sources from ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2 in
+ the same directory in which you extracted the BIND 9 source: if BIND 9 is
+ in \build\bind-9.16.0, for instance, libxml2 should be in
+ \build\libxml2-2.9.2 (subject to version number changes).
+
+ Now build libxml2:
+
+ cd libxml2-2.9.2\win32
+ cscript configure.js iconv=no
+ nmake /f Makefile.msvc
+
+Step 4: Download and build zlib
+
+ The statistics channel (aka internal HTTP server) can support
+ zlib "deflate" compression method. If you don't want to this
+ feature, skip to step 5.
+
+ Download and untar the zlib sources from https://www.zlib.net in the same
+ directory in which you extracted the BIND 9 source: if BIND 9 is in
+ \build\bind-9.16.0, for instance, zlib should be in \build\zlib-1.2.11
+ (subject to version number changes).
+
+ Read the win32\Makefile.msc for the Usage comment at the beginning of
+ this file, then build the zlib1.dll DLL for the intended processor (i.e.,
+ win32 aka x86, or x64), e.g.:
+
+ cd zlib-1.2.11
+ nmake /f win32\Makefile.msc
+
+Step 5: Download and build GeoIP
+
+ Geographic ("geoip") ACLs require libGeoIP. If you wish to build BIND 9
+ without support for this feature, skip to step 6.
+
+ The libGeoIP source code is available from:
+
+ https://github.com/maxmind/geoip-api-c/releases.
+
+ As of this writing, the current version of libGeoIP is 1.6.0. There
+ is a known bug in this and all prior versions which prevents it from
+ building a suitable DLL with thread support on Windows. You can apply
+ the patch file bind9/win32utils/GeoIP.diff to address the problem.
+ This patch has been submitted upstream, and will be included in
+ future versions of libGeoIP.
+
+Step 6: Enable python tools
+
+ Some python packages are required: argparse, ply, win32con and win32api.
+ Last CPython's (version 2 or 3) from https://www.python.org include
+ the pip package manager which can install missing packages, for
+ instance for the 2 last packages 'pip install pypiwin32' downloads and
+ installs win32con and win32api.
+
+ Note when the python interpreter is in the command path and
+ the required packages available the Configure script will detect
+ them and add python tools to the BIND 9 build.
+
+ To be used a python tool must be invoked with python (e.g.,
+ python dnssec-checkds.py <args>) as the shebang doesn't work
+ on Windows. The isc package should be installed too, cf step 12.
+ Unlike on Unix systems, this isc package uses the Registry to
+ learn where BIND 9 was installed in step 11.
+
+Step 7: Download and build Readline
+
+ The readline library adds command-line editing in nslookup and nsupdate.
+ If you wish to build BIND 9 without support for this feature, skip to
+ step 8.
+
+ Because the original GNU source for the readline library has no WIN32
+ support, it will be necessary to download a version of the static
+ readline library source that is ready to be built by Visual Studio. One
+ such version is available at:
+
+ http://gpsim.sourceforge.net/gpsimWin32/gpsimWin32.html#readline_lib
+
+ Note: Windows command (cmd.exe) provides an integrated line editing
+ feature so it is not recommended to configure bind with readline.
+
+Step 8: Make the redistributable runtime object available
+
+ Check that the Microsoft redistributable object (vcredist_x86.exe or
+ vcredist_x64.exe) is available to the build. The file may be placed
+ in the directory in which the BIND 9 source was extracted (for
+ instance, if BIND 9 is in \build\bind-9.16.0, the redistributable
+ may be placed in \build\vcredist_x86.exe). Or, the path to the file
+ can be specified via the VCREDIST_PATH environment variable, or via
+ the "with-vcredist=PATH" option to the configuration script (see
+ step 9). If none of these options is used, Configure will attempt to
+ find the redistributable based on clues in the build environment.
+
+Step 9: Configuring the BIND 9 build
+
+ From the command prompt, cd to the win32utils directory under
+ the BIND 9 root:
+
+ cd bind-9.16.0\win32utils
+
+ In this directory, you can prepare the Windows build by running:
+
+ perl Configure <options> x64
+
+ This will set up all the files needed for building BIND 9 according
+ to the given options. To see the available options, run:
+
+ perl Configure help
+
+ To remove all files generated by Configure, run:
+
+ perl Configure clean
+
+Step 10: Building BIND 9
+
+ Building using 'nmake' or older versions of Visual Studio
+ (e.g. VS 2005 or VS 2008) is no longer supported.
+
+ Building with a version of Visual Studio newer than VS 2010
+ requires the solution to first be upgraded by running:
+
+ devenv bind9.sln /upgrade
+
+ If the build host only has Visual Studio Build Tools available
+ and not a full Visual Studio installation, devenv.exe will not
+ be present. In that case, the Configure invocation from step 9
+ must be extended with the following parameters set to values
+ matching the Visual Studio Build Tools version used:
+
+ with-tools-version
+ with-platform-version
+ with-platform-toolset
+
+ Example use for a 64-bit Visual Studio 2017 build:
+
+ perl Configure ^
+ with-tools-version=15.0 ^
+ with-platform-toolset=v141 ^
+ with-platform-version=10.0.17763.0 ^
+ ...
+ x64
+
+ To build using the Visual Studio GUI in VS 2010 or newer:
+ open the bind9.sln solution file; this will load the project
+ files for all of the BIND 9 libraries and applications. Select
+ "Build->Batch Build", click "Select All", then click "Build".
+
+ To build using MSBuild in VS 2010 or newer: call MSBuild on
+ the bind9.sln solution file:
+
+ msbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release bind9.sln
+ msbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration=Debug bind9.sln
+
+ Note: This mode does not support building for Windows XP.
+
+ After this step this documentation applies to external or remote
+ builds, i.e., is common with installation.
+
+Step 11: Install
+
+ Installation is accomplished by running the BINDInstall program. All
+ DLL's are copied to the Program Files area and all applications
+ (including BINDInstall which may be necessary for uninstalling BIND
+ 9) to the bin directory. If BIND 8 has previously been installed on
+ the system it must be uninstalled first by running it's own
+ BINDInstall program. The BIND 9 installer does not yet do this.
+
+ Note: BINDInstall.exe requires the MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class).
+ This is only distributed with non-free (i.e., not "Express") versions of
+ Visual Studio. The other BIND 9 libraries and applications do not have
+ this dependency.
+
+ The very last version of BINDInstall uses two files created by
+ the Configure perl script:
+ - InstallFlags: 32/64 bit build, and/or should the redistributable
+ object be run.
+ - InstallFiles: the list of files to install with for each files
+ 4 flags (destination, importance, check version and part of tools).
+ The idea is to be able to use any BINDInstall.exe binary so
+ a non-free version of Visual Studio is no longer required.
+
+Step 12: Python package install
+
+ When BIND 9 was built with python support, the isc python package
+ must be installed locally by:
+
+ cd <top-bind9-directory>
+ cd bin/python
+ python setup.py install
+
+ (replace 'python' by the path of your python interpreter if needed.)
+
+ BIND 9 python tools should work with version 2 or 3, 32 or 64 bits.
+
+Please report bugs, whether in the process of building the application
+or in BIND 9 itself, at https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9.
