Re: Cygwin DNS lookup utility

LOL.  I should have mentioned that I checked all the obvious permission
things, and they're all what one would expect:

(riedl-ibm-x40: /) ll /usr/bin/nslookup.exe
60K -rwxr-xr-x 1 riedl Users 60K Jun 10 10:23 /usr/bin/nslookup.exe*
(riedl-ibm-x40: /) ll /usr/bin/dig.exe
72K -rwxr-xr-x 1 riedl Users 72K Jun 10 10:23 /usr/bin/dig.exe*
(riedl-ibm-x40: /)

I was speculating that the permission was some windows restriction on
sending low-level name service requests, but I was hoping someone on this
list would know more.

ISC's BIND works fine out of the box (no "instructions" followed). No real answer to your question, my guess is that you did something wrong (like follow "instructions" for a Microsoft compiler or build in a weird file system, not NTFS, perhaps a network share or NFS mounted with no execute permission).


$ tar xvf bind-9.5.0.tar.gz
$ cd bind-9.5.0
$ ./configure --enable-threads --with-openssl=yes --with-libtool
$ make
$ make install
$ which dig
