[Bro] Redux - source build on OpenBSD (5.3) and BIND libs

[Darren Spruell]

Greetings,

CMake 2.8.10.2
Perl 5.12.2
libmagic 5.11
SWIG 1.3.36
Bison 2.3
Flex 2.5.4
Bash 4.2.42

Got stumped trying to build Bro on OpenBSD 5.3 i386 related to finding
BIND8 headers/libs.

I see a few past similar issues, notably:

Installing Bro 2.1.

I'm hung up trying to figure out where the necessary
routines/libraries would be. OpenBSD ships with BIND 9 by default, and
has res_* functions in libc (there is no libresolv.a, etc.; libresolv
was removed ~2005). The previously referenced thread mentions libbind
package; this doesn't seem to exist any more, although there is an an
upstream ISC BIND 9 package (isc-bind 9.9.2-P2). When this package is
installed, I can see the following library:

$ ldconfig -r |egrep 'bind'
        398:-lbind9.0.0 => /usr/local/lib/libbind9.so.0.0

...but the library does not provide ns_* symbols and the error at
configure is still the same (maybe because of BIND 9 vs. BIND 8?):

It looks to me that OpenBSD doesn't include the ns_* routines; this
discussion might support that:

Wondering if I'm at a dead end on this. Any ideas?
