************ 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. * |

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'! |

|
35 |
- 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: |
42 |
https://lists.ircd-hybrid.org/mailman/listinfo/hybrid |
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. |
85 |
|
86 |
- Other files recommended for reading: BUGS, INSTALL |
