+       BIND 9.2.0 Beta for Win32 Source Build Instructions.  12-Jul-2001
+
+Building BIND 9.2 on Windows NT/2000 has two prerequisites:
+1) You need to install Perl for Windows NT/2000. ActiveState
+(http://www.activestate.com/) is the one most people install and use;
+2) OpenSSL (http://www.openssl.org) needs to be downloaded and built
+on the system on which you are building BIND.
+
+The instructions assume a Visual C++ 6.0 compiler with Visual Studio and
+Visual Studio Service Pack 3 or later. It may build and work with earlier
+versions but it has not been tested. The binaries may be built and run on
+any of the following platforms: NT 4.0 Workstation (SP3 or later), NT 4.0
+Server (SP3 or later), Windows 2000 Professional (SP1 or later),
+Windows 2000 Server or any kind (SP1 or later). It should run on the
+to-be-released Windows XP platforms of various flavors. It will NOT build
+or run on Windows 95, Windows 98, etc. platforms.
+
+Step 1: Download and Build OpenSSL
+
+Download and untar the OpenSSL sources from http://www.openssl.org/.
+if you have place the BIND sources in /BIND9 you should place the
+OpenSSL sources in /OpenSSL-0.9.6b. If you place the sources anywhere
+else you will have to edit the libdns.dsp or libdns.mak files to point
+the include directories and the link library location to the correct
+places as well as move the DLL to the BUILD/Release subdirectory.
+
+Note: Building OpenSSL also requires that you install Perl as it uses
+it during its build process. Follow the instructions for NT given
+in the INSTALL.W32 file to build the kit. This will produce libeay32.lib
+and libeay32.dll in the out32dll subdirectory. 
+
+
+Step 2 Building BIND
+
+From the command prompt cd to the win32utils under the BIND root.
+Execute the BuildAll.bat file. This will do the following:
+1) copy config.h.win32 to config.h in the root.
+2) create the versions.h file in the root.
+3) Build the gen application in the lib/dns directory.
+4) Run the gen application and build the required lib/dns header
+   files.
+5) Create the Build/Release subdirectory under the root of the BIND
+   source tree which will hold the binaries being built.
+6) Build the libraries, named, application tools like dig, rndc
+   dnssec tools, installer, checkconf and checkzones programs,
+   BIND 9 Installer.
+7) Copies the release notes and the OpenSSL DLL to the BUILD/Release
+   directory.
+
+If you wish to use Visual Studio for building, you can just run the
+BuildSetup.bat file which will create all the necessary files and you
+can then use the BINDBuild.dsw to open the workspace for all of the
+libraries and applications. These files reside in the same win32utils
+directory as this file.
+
+The following files are built:
+
+lib/isc
+lib/dns
+lib/isccc
+lib/isccfg
+lib/lwres
+bin/named
+lib/win32/bindevt
+bin/win32/BINDInstall
+
+bin/rndc
+bin/dig (dig.dsw)
+bin/dig (host.dsw)
+bin/dig (nslookup.dsw)
+bin/nsupdate
+
+bin/check/named-checkconf
+bin/check/named-checkzone
+
+bin/dnssec (keygen.dsw)
+bin/dnssec (makekeyset.dsw)
+bin/dnssec (signkey.dsw)
+bin/dnssec (signzone.dsw)
+
+You should end up with 20 binaries in the bind9/Build/Release
+directory. Copy the Install instructions Readme1st.txt from win32utils
+and libeay32.dll from the openssl/out32dll/ directory.
+
+The set of files in the directory bind9/Build/Release form the
+installation kit which can then be zipped and distributed to any
+suitable Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 platform.
+
+Installation is accomplished by running the BINDInstall program. All DLL's
+are copied to the system32 area and all applications (including BINDInstall
+which may be necessary for uninstalling BIND 9) to the dns/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.
+
+All bugs found, whether in the process of building the application or
+running BIND or the tools should be reported to the bind9 bugs email
+account at bind9-bugs@isc.org.
