[Dnsmasq-discuss] Facing compilation issue with dnsmasq

[Mariappan Rajendran]

Hi,

I just downloaded the dnsmasq latest version from GIT and facing the below error when i compile.
Please suggest to resolve this.

***@ICSCHELAP1003:~/Mari$ git clone https://github.com/guns/dnsmasq

Do i have to build the libidn first, if yes from where to compile ?

Here is my system config:
Ubuntu 14.04 kernel version - 3.13.0-32-generic
H/w:
Intel core - i3-4030U CPU @ 1.90GHz * 4
Memory - 3.8GB
OS type - 64 bit

Thanks,
Mari.

Ubuntu provides a libidn package. You simply need to install it;
there might be one called "libidn-devel" which contains the header
files needed at compile time.

While you're at it you should review your environment to be sure
other compile-time needs are met. Ubuntu probably provides a
metapackage which will do this.

You might also consider learning how to build a .deb so your
installed software can be managed by your OS packaging system.

Consult Ubuntu documentation for help with these issues.

Yes it is resolved after installing the libidn package. Thanks a lot.
