Compilation error with latest getdns

[saghul]

Hi there!

I installed the latest getdns with Homebew and compilation fails because a constant cannot be found:

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/getdns/src/GNConstants.o
../src/GNConstants.cpp:87:53: error: use of undeclared identifier 'GETDNS_APPEND_NAME_TO_SINGLE_LABEL_FIRST'
    SetConstant("APPEND_NAME_TO_SINGLE_LABEL_FIRST",GETDNS_APPEND_NAME_TO_SINGLE_LABEL_FIRST,exports);
                                                    ^

@saghul: Homebrew's getdns formula is still targeting getdns v0.9.0. The current master here in getdns-node targets the getdns v1.0.0 prereleases (such as v1.0.0b2). If brew install getdns --HEAD would have worked I would have recommended that; alas, it does not (needs to be looked at).

For a local (unofficial) Mac setup I'm using my own getdns-developer-support scripts. YMMV, but do let me know if that's of any help!

Thanks for the heads up, installing with --HEAD does indeed fail 😢

@saghul: opened an issue upstream: getdnsapi/getdns#209 -- would also like to see support for brew install --devel getdns.

@saghul: see pull request Homebrew/homebrew-core#11578 for brew install getdns with v1.0.0, --devel for v1.1.0-rc1 (currently failing with brew) and --HEAD for getdns' develop branch (currently failing with brew) and info in getdnsapi/getdns#209.

Homebrew has now accepted the getdns v1.0.0 pull request; users should be installing/upgrading to it automatically. This should make it easier for users and devs to get started with getdns-node.

Closing this issue. Thanks!
