BIND 9.10.2-P3 with GeoIP on Solaris

[greg.rabil at bt.com]

Hi folks,
I am attempting to build BIND 9.10.2-P3 with support for GeoIP on Solaris, but I want a statically linked version of the 'named' binary.  On Linux, when I build the GeoIP library, I specify the '-disable-shared' configure flag, and then when I use the GeoIP install directory as the value for the '-with-geoip' when building BIND, all works fine and, as expected, I end up with a 'named' binary that is statically linked with the GeoIP library.  However, if I follow this process on Solaris, the BIND configure step fails with:

checking GeoIP.h usability... yes
checking GeoIP.h presence... yes
checking for GeoIP.h... yes
checking for library containing GeoIP_open... no
configure: error: GeoIP library not found

If I rebuild GeoIP library without '-disable-shared', then BIND configure and make complete successfully, but then I have a runtime dependency on the GeoIP library, which I'm trying to avoid.

I am hoping someone on the list has a workaround or other suggestion to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Greg
