This is my first mail on this list. I hope I am at the right place. I have loaded BIND 9.7.0b3 under Windows. Now I would like to compile it. Could someone help me with what is exactly to be done (and if I should install a special compiler). 
Thank you for your help!

Instructions are included in the bind9 distribution, in the file
win32utils/win32-build.txt. I'm not entirely sure these instructions
are fully up-to-date, so if you have trouble, feel free to send a bug
report to bind9...@isc.org.

The compiler we currently use for Windows builds is VisualStudio 2005.

Thank you! Evan,

I have not VisualStudio which is commercial. Do you think I can use an other compiler or do you think VisualStudio light is enough (Version 2008 seems available).

I'm sorry, I don't know. Try it and see. If it works, let me know, and
we'll add the information to the win32-build.txt file. Good luck.

Just follow the instructions in the win32-build.txt file. You need to
build OpenSSL and libxml2 first. That file contains instructions on
those as well. Almost any MSVC compiler will work.

It should work fine.
