9Compiling
10---------
11
12After downloading, you can compile the pyUnbound library by doing::
13
14    > tar -xzf unbound-x.x.x-py.tar.gz
15    > cd unbound-x.x.x
16    > ./configure --with-pyunbound
17    > make
18
19You may want to enable ``--with-pythonmodule`` as well if you want to use
20python as a module in the resolver.
21
22You need ``GNU make`` to compile sources; ``SWIG`` and ``Python devel``
23libraries to compile extension module.

26Testing
27-------
28
29If the compilation is successful, you can test the python LDNS extension module
30by::
31
32    > cd contrib/python
33    > make testenv
34    > ./dns-lookup.py
35
36You may want to ``make install`` in the main directory since ``make testenv``
37is for debugging.  In contrib/examples you can find simple applications written
38in Python using the Unbound extension.
