This is the first public release of Bind 9.11.37 ESR compiled for OS/2 based systems

It is built with GCC 11.2.0 and requires the libc066 runtime dll which is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.6-csd6.zip and also the libc extension dll (libcx0.dll) that is available from Netlabs

This has not been extensively tested, but seems to work locally for me.

Known issues:

* currently requires a 32-bit tcpip stack (ie tcpip v4.1 or higher).  If there is demand for a tcpip v4 compatible version, I'll see if I can build it.

My Bind 8 configuration file required only minor changes to work with Bind 9 - I had to remove 'deallocate-on-exit' option, and remove 'category load { xfer-log; };'

Note that currently Bind will look for it's configuration file in /etc - the -c parameter can be used to specify the location of the configuration file.  ie named.exe -c c:\mptn\etc\named.conf

If the klibc path rewriter, currently available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/contrib/klibccfg.wpi is installed, configuration files can be placed in the directory specified in set ETC=xxx in config.sys
