Compiling queryperf on Mac OS X Leopard

[Merul Patel]

Hi,

BIND9 seems to build fine on my Mac OS X 10.5.3 box, but I'm unable to  
build queryperf, and there's little in the README to assist. The  
utility compiles fine on Debian Etch, so it's clearly something that  
the configure script is/isn't picking up about the Mac box.

./configure yields:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for library containing res_mkquery... none required
checking for library containing __res_mkquery... no
checking for socket in -lsocket... no
checking for inet_ntoa in -lnsl... no
checking for gethostbyname2... yes
checking for getaddrinfo... yes
checking for getnameinfo... yes
checking for socklen_t... yes
checking for sa_len... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged

But then make reports:

gcc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c queryperf.c
queryperf.c: In function ‘dispatch_query’:
queryperf.c:1369: error: ‘PACKETSZ’ undeclared (first use in this  
function)
queryperf.c:1369: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only  
once
queryperf.c:1369: error: for each function it appears in.)
queryperf.c:1376: error: ‘QUERY’ undeclared (first use in this function)
queryperf.c:1376: error: ‘C_IN’ undeclared (first use in this function)
queryperf.c:1369: error: storage size of ‘packet_buffer’ isn’t known
queryperf.c: In function ‘process_single_response’:
queryperf.c:1610: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 6 of  
‘recvfrom’ differ in signedness
make: *** [queryperf.o] Error 1

Any advice would be most appreciated.

NAT is already a big problem in itself.

Who is 10.0.0.254? The NAT router? Do you control it? Can you vouch
for it? (Most CPE middleboxes are lousy.)

I suggest to not use this sort of device as a forwarder.

dig is much better for debugging

Probably because the stupide and broken router/firewall had a problem
with EDNS0 packets.

EDNS0

BIND nevertheless check them at startup (because hints file tend to be
obsolete). This is called "priming".
