************ 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'! |
| 14 |

******************************* REQUIREMENTS ********************************** |
| 16 |

Necessary Requirements: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
- A supported platform (look below) |

| 22 |
compiling statically, without module |
| 23 |
support. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Feature Specific Requirements: |

- For compressed server links, |
| 31 |
a working zlib library and includes (zlib.h) |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |

- See the INSTALL document for info on configuring and compiling |
| 39 |
ircd-hybrid. |

|
| 41 |
- Please read doc/index.txt to get an overview of the current documentation. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
- A good place for general help, discussions, and suggestions for ircd-hybrid |
| 44 |
can be found at http://www.forum.ircd-hybrid.org |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
- There is also a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid. To subscribe |

- To report bugs in hybrid, send the bug report to bugs@ircd-hybrid.org |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
- Known bugs are listed in the BUGS file |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
- If you run in to a problem you think may be specific to your platform, |
| 55 |
check README.PLATFORMS for some hints. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
- SOLARIS USERS: this code appears to tickle a bug in older gcc and |
| 58 |
egcs ONLY on 64-bit Solaris7. gcc-2.95 and SunPro C on 64bit should |
| 59 |
work fine, and any gcc or SunPro compiled on 32bit. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
- DARWIN AND MACOS X USERS: You must be using at least the December 2001 |
| 62 |
Development Tools from Apple to build ircd-hybrid with shared modules. |
| 63 |
Before then you MUST disable shared modules, as we do not have the proper |
| 64 |
flags for cc(1) prior to that point to produce shared modules. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
- TESTED PLATFORMS: The code has been tested on the following platforms, and |
| 67 |
is known to run properly. |
| 68 |
FreeBSD 3.x/4.x/5.x (gcc only, TenDRA will work but only with the latest |
| 69 |
cvs version from ten15.org) |
| 70 |
Linux glibc 2.2/2.3 |
| 71 |
Solaris 2.6/7/8 |
| 72 |
Cygwin 1.3.22 (no shared modules yet) |
| 73 |
OpenBSD 2.8-3.2 |
| 74 |
HP-UX 11.00-11.22 |
| 75 |
IRIX64 6.5.19 (gcc only; MIPSpro is unconfirmed) |
| 76 |
NetBSD 1.4-1.6 |
| 77 |
Tru64 UNIX 5.2b (only tested with native cc) |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
It probably does not compile on AIX or libc5 Linux. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
- Old Hybrid 5/6 configuration files are no longer supported. All conf |
| 82 |
files will have to be converted to the Hybrid 7 format. |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
- If you are wondering why config.h no longer exists, it's because most |
| 85 |
things that were once in config.h are now specified in the 'general' |
| 86 |
block of ircd.conf. Look at example.conf for more information about |
| 87 |
these options. Many, notably syslog support and EFnet tweaks, are now |
| 88 |
configure options (see ./configure --help for details.) |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
- /etc/resolv.conf must exist for the resolver to work. |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
- Please read NEWS for information about what is in |
| 93 |
this release. |
| 94 |
