Install build tools and development libraries

BIND 9 and pkcs11-provider require compilation from source. Install the necessary compilers, build tools, and development libraries:

Install the EPEL repository and enable the CRB (CodeReady Builder) repository for additional development packages:

Bash

dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core 
dnf config-manager --set-enabled crb 
dnf install -y epel-release 
dnf makecache

Install OpenSC for PKCS#11 utilities:

Bash

dnf install -y opensc

Install core build tools and libraries required for BIND compilation:

Bash

dnf install -y \ 
git gcc gcc-c++ make autoconf automake libtool \ 
openssl-devel libxml2-devel json-c-devel libuv-devel \
libnghttp2-devel pkgconf-pkg-config meson ninja-build 

Result: The system has all tools necessary to compile BIND 9 with PKCS#11 support.
