Since 9.12, BIND has undergone substantial code refactoring and
|
|
cleanup, and some very old code has been removed that supported
|
|
obsolete operating systems and operating systems for which ISC is
|
|
no longer able to perform quality assurance testing. Specifically,
|
|
workarounds for UnixWare, BSD/OS, AIX, Tru64, SunOS, TruCluster
|
|
and IRIX have been removed.

On UNIX-like systems, BIND now requires support for POSIX.1c
|
|
threads (IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995), the Advanced Sockets API for
|
|
IPv6 (RFC 3542), and standard atomic operations provided by the
|
|
C compiler.

More information can be found in the <filename>PLATFORM.md</filename>
|
|
file that is included in the source distribution of BIND 9. If your
|
|
platform compiler and system libraries provide the above features,
|
|
BIND 9 should compile and run. If that isn't the case, the BIND
|
|
development team will generally accept patches that add support
|
|
for systems that are still supported by their respective vendors.

As of BIND 9.14, the BIND development team has also made cryptography
|
|
(i.e., TSIG and DNSSEC) an integral part of the DNS server. The
|
|
OpenSSL cryptography library must be available for the target
|
|
platform. A PKCS#11 provider can be used instead for Public Key
|
|
cryptography (i.e., DNSSEC signing and validation), but OpenSSL is
|
|
still required for general cryptography operations such as hashing
|
|
and random number generation.
