Hi,

Just a few remarks on some slght difficulties I have had with Solaris 2.4.

BIND-4.9.3 on Solaris 2.4

mkdep :
set PATH to use the right compiler
/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc requires -xM argument, not -M

I would recommend :
PIDDIR = /etc		as for SunOS instead of /var/run
DESTHELP = /usr/lib	as for SunOS instead of /usr/share/misc

Sun's nslookup is in /usr/sbin, not /usr/bin.

The Makefile says : "under solaris2.x, use 'make install' at your own risk."
I would say : "under solaris2.x, DON'T use 'make install'."

Syntax of command "install" :
   -c dir		destination dir
   -u user		not -o user
You can't rename the file.

-> needs a specific install procedure.

Otherwise, it seems fine...

Yours,
Philippe Auclair
