Adding module to unbound

Unbound
1

Hi,

unbound looks to be a very nice software, meeting most of my
requirements: written in C, light, fast, etc...
There is even a module to run python script on requests. The main
issue is that the performance of python kill the overall performance
of unbound.
My purpose now is to write my own module in C.

I'm absolutely not familiar with autotools, and I can't make configure
to take in account my module.
I updated configure.ac with the few lines below:

AC_ARG_WITH(ddns,
    AC_HELP_STRING([--with-ddns],
    [build ddns module, or --without-ddns (default=no)]),
    [], [ withval="no" ])

ub_with_ddns=no
if test x_$withval != x_no; then
    ub_with_ddns=yes
fi

if test x_$ub_with_ddns != x_no; then
    AC_DEFINE(WITH_DDNS, 1, [Define if you want ddns module.])
    WITH_DDNS=yes
    AC_SUBST(WITH_DDNS)
fi

Then I run autoconf and configure seems well generated:
grep -c -i ddns configure
11

So I can run "./configure --disable-gost --with-ddns" to write the Makefile
But nothing appears in the Makefile:
grep -c -i ddns Makefile
0

Any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

cheers

Hi Baptiste,

You need to also run autoheader, it updates config.h.in.

To have something appear in the Makefile you would have to patch
Makefile.in. The configure script adjusts some *.in files to generate
their final versions, all those @bla@ get their contents in the files.
