[Pdns-users] Building PDNS Debian Package from Source

[Dharmesh]

Hi,
Thanks for your help. That worked for me.

I have few more queries :

1. How can i build a pdns-static deb package.. do we need to specify some
other options during dpkg-buildpackage

2. What if i want to create a pdns package which will install all the
binaries and system libraries at a user defined path say at /pdns

For this i change the prefix from /usr to /pdns, sysconfdir=/pdns/cfg in
debian-pdns/rules file along few other change ( Replacing usr with pdns
wherever required especially in install statements ) &
debian-pdns/pdns.conffiles is also modified to have a different
path(/pdns/cfg/pdns.conf) for pdns.conf file

After doing the changes, the package was build successfully but after
installation, powerdns server was not able to start as it was searching
for libgpgsqlbackend.so file in /usr/lib/powerdns/libgpgsqlbackend.so
whereas as this file is present in /pdns/lib/powerdns/libgpgsqlbackend.so

Also new path of pdns.conf was not working.. pdns_server was still reading
the file present at /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf and not at /pdns/cfg/pdns.conf

How do i resolve this ?? Am i missing some configuration ???

Regards,
