Installation Problem

[serioususer]

just built getdns following the instructions

after this i cloned this repo and tried to build it - i got some errors like libsystemd not found. but i could fix this by installing following packages: sudo apt install libsystemd-dev sudo apt install libudev-dev

after this i tried to build it again with cmake but some more errors occour. It seems that cmake cant find some libaries: _CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:146 (message): Could NOT find Getdns (missing: GETDNS_LIBRARIES GETDNS_INCLUDE_DIR) (Required is at least version "1.5.0") Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:393 (FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) cmake/modules/FindGetdns.cmake:109 (find_package_handle_standard_args) CMakeLists.txt:181 (find_package)

I build getdns correctly and i can you getdns_query. I cloned both repos in my homedir.

Does anybody know how to link the libaries to the right place?

You have two options

1. you can use the configure options to the stubby make command to set the variables to point to your installed getdns library e.g -DGETDNS_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/libgetdns.dylib -DGETDNS_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/include depending on where your library was actually installed.
2. You can alternatively build stubby directly as part of the getdns build by using the -DBUILD_STUBBY=ON cmake option on the getdns cmake command.

this worked great - thank you :=)

solution was: -DGETDNS_LIBRARY=path/to/libgetdns.so -DGETDNS_INCLUDE_DIR=path/to/getdns/folder (.so bc of linux) I also added stubby and getdns_query folder to my $PATH env.

But now i have another problem: i tried to start stubby in the background:

sudo stubby -g
[13:59:53.293664] STUBBY: Stubby version: Stubby 0.3.0
WARNING: No Stubby config file found... using minimal default config (Opportunistic Usage)
Could not write pid to "/usr/local/var/run/stubby.pid": No such file or directory

i also checked the process:

sudo systemctl status stubby
* stubby.service
   Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit stubby.service is masked.)
   Active: inactive (dead)

i found in the internet that a process is masked if the application file is 0 bytes..but i cant confirm this..

i also checked netstat: netstat | grep stubby - no output - so stubby is not listening...

the strange thing is that this works: dig @127.0.0.1 ix.de but if i change my resolver in /etc/resolve.conf i am not able to perform any successful queries.

@serioususer: you can build and run stubby from source easily using Docker.
