Am I missing a step for integrating > minires-devel? Proboably not. It's apparently part of dig's own source to look for a resolv.conf file. This would have to be changed in dig.

I have installed it and run: $ make clean $ ./configure $ make The resulting dig.exe is still looking for nameservers in resolv.conf. Am I missing a step for integrating minires-devel? Thanks.

When building dig on Cygwin, its configury should find that libresolv already exists and link against it. It's the minires and minires-devel packages you need for that.

I know that this does not directly answer your question, but if you use the win32 port of dig (straight from isc.org) you do not need any such resolv.conf, it gets the nameservers from the Windows configuration. Since that functionality already exists, your best bet would be to either a) use the win32 port b) patch dig to include that functionality when compiling with Cygwin.

automatic generation of resolv.conf
I recently downloaded and compiled dig from the bind website. When I tried to run it, it wouldn't work unless I specified the DNS server on the command line. Looking at the man page on a Linux box, I saw a reference to resolv.conf (which is obviously not present by default in Windoze. Creating a resolv.conf with my ISP's name servers in it fixed the issue. I saw some posts from a while back where someone was thinking about a utility to create the resolv.conf file for some other application that was expecting its presence. Does anyone know if this ever got further than the idea phase? I use a laptop in a lot of different places and the name servers vary from place to place, depending on the ISP. I could just hard code the resolv.conf, but it would be helpful to see the data my clients are seeing without having to redo resolv.conf each time. Thanks in advance for the help. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
