wdns is a low-level C library for dealing with wire-format dns packets.
wdns has the following external dependencies:
On Debian systems, the following packages should be installed, if available:
pkg-config libpcap0.8-dev
Note that on Debian systems, binary packages of wdns are available from a Debian package repository maintained by Farsight Security. These packages should be used in preference to building from source on Debian-based systems.
On FreeBSD systems, the following ports should be installed, if available:
devel/pkgconf
After satisfying the prerequisites, ./configure && make && make install should
compile and install libwdns in /usr/local. If building from a git checkout,
run the ./autogen.sh command first to generate the configure script.
