************ Note for those who don't bother reading docs ***************
|
| 4 |
* - Reading INSTALL is now a must, as the old DPATH is now specified *
|
| 5 |
* when configure is run. *
|
| 6 |
* You now need to ./configure --prefix="/path/to/install/it" *
|
| 7 |
* - The old config format WILL NOT WORK. Please see etc/example.conf ! *
|
| 8 |
* - The old kline, dline, xline, gline format WILL NOT WORK. *
|

|
| 11 |
ALSO, IF YOU ARE UPGRADING YOUR CURRENT SOURCE TREE, AND YOU TRY TO BUILD
|
| 12 |
IN IT WITHOUT PERFORMING AT LEAST 'make clean', THINGS _WILL_ BREAK. IT IS
|
| 13 |
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU RUN 'make distclean' AND THEN RERUN './configure'!
|
| 14 |

- See the INSTALL document for info on configuring and compiling
|
| 36 |
ircd-hybrid.
|
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
- Please read doc/index.txt to get an overview of the current documentation.
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
- There is also a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid. To subscribe
|
| 41 |
to the Hybrid List, use this link:

|
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
- To report bugs in hybrid, send the bug report to bugs@ircd-hybrid.org
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
- Known bugs are listed in the BUGS file
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
- If you run in to a problem you think may be specific to your platform,
|
| 49 |
check README.PLATFORMS for some hints.
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
- SOLARIS USERS: this code appears to tickle a bug in older gcc and
|
| 52 |
egcs ONLY on 64-bit Solaris7. gcc-2.95 and SunPro C on 64bit should
|
| 53 |
work fine, and any gcc or SunPro compiled on 32bit.
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
- DARWIN AND MACOS X USERS: You must be using at least the December 2001
|
| 56 |
Development Tools from Apple to build ircd-hybrid with shared modules.
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
- TESTED PLATFORMS: The code has been tested on the following platforms, and
|
| 59 |
is known to run properly.
|
| 60 |
FreeBSD 3.x/4.x/5.x/7.x/8.0 (gcc only, TenDRA will work but only with the latest
|
| 61 |
cvs version from ten15.org)
|
| 62 |
Linux glibc 2.2/2.3/2.10.1
|
| 63 |
Solaris 2.6/7/8
|
| 64 |
OpenBSD 2.8-3.2
|
| 65 |
HP-UX 11.00-11.22
|
| 66 |
IRIX64 6.5.19 (gcc only; MIPSpro is unconfirmed)
|
| 67 |
NetBSD 1.4-1.6
|
| 68 |
Tru64 UNIX 5.2b (only tested with native cc)
|
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
It probably does not compile on AIX or libc5 Linux.
|
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
- Old Hybrid 5/6 configuration files are no longer supported. All conf
|
| 73 |
files will have to be converted to the Hybrid 7 format.
|
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
- If you are wondering why config.h no longer exists, it's because most
|
| 76 |
things that were once in config.h are now specified in the 'general'
|
| 77 |
block of ircd.conf. Look at example.conf for more information about
|
| 78 |
these options. Many, notably syslog support and EFnet tweaks, are now
|
| 79 |
configure options (see ./configure --help for details.)
|
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
- /etc/resolv.conf must exist for the resolver to work.
|
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
- Please read NEWS for information about what is in
|
| 84 |
this release.
