Building on OpenBSD certainly is not straightforward with the current PowerDNS version.

Assuming you are working from  http://powerdnssec.org/downloads/pdns-3.1-pre.20111215.2319.tar.gz as Bert suggested, this appears to work for me:
1. apply the attached patch
2. ./configure CXXFLAGS=-pthread --with-modules='gmysql pipe'
3. cd modules ; make ; cd ..
4. cd pdns/ext/polarssl; make; cd ../../..
5. cd pdns; make pdns_server

This yields a pdns_server binary and two loadable backends (gmysql and pipe).

I have not tried running it ;)

Please let me know how building (and perhaps running) with these tweaks works out for you, so we can make these fixes more permanent in the PowerDNS tree.

Also, please let us know when you run into further trouble, compiling other parts of PowerDNS perhaps. For modules other than gmysql that don't work, the Makefile.in bit from the attached patch is likely to help too.

Kind regards,
Peter van Dijk
