Bind 8.4.7-P1 on Solaris 8

[Fr34k]

BIND 8 is EOL according to www.isc.org
Even Solaris8 is a decade old.

I mention this as a reason for why you may not get a response from this list to your question.

I can tell you that Bind9.4.1-P1 works just fine on Solaris8.

Why not try the latest/greatest of BIND, at a minimum?
This may even solve your issue.
Just a suggestion.

Hi list,

I was unable to compile 8.4.7-P1 on Solaris 8 using gcc 4

Here is what I get :

gcc -I../../port/solaris/include -I../../include  -O3 -mcpu=ultrasparc -m32
-fomit-frame-pointer  -c tmp_version.c
gcc -O3 -mcpu=ultrasparc -m32 -fomit-frame-pointer  -o named db_dump.o

db_tsig.o ns_parser.o ns_lexer.o ns_parseutil.o ns_ctl.o ns_forw.o ns_init.o
ns_main.o ns_maint.o ns_req.o ns_resp.o ns_stats.o ns_ncache.o ns_xfr.o

arc4random_addrandom                ns_main.o

In the source code, I read :

!  *    Note: if you don't have arc4random_addrandom(),
!  *          you should upgrade to BIND9.

Does that mean I won't be able to compile 8.4.7-P1 on Solaris 8 ?

Regards.
