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

|
34 |
- See the INSTALL document for info on configuring and compiling |
35 |
ircd-hybrid. |
36 |
|
37 |
- Please read doc/index.txt to get an overview of the current documentation. |
38 |
|
39 |
- There is also a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid. To subscribe |
40 |
to the Hybrid List, use this link: |
41 |
https://lists.ircd-hybrid.org/mailman/listinfo/hybrid |
42 |
|
43 |
- To report bugs in hybrid, send the bug report to bugs@ircd-hybrid.org |
44 |
|
45 |
- Known bugs are listed in the BUGS file |
46 |
|
47 |
- SOLARIS USERS: this code appears to tickle a bug in older gcc and |
48 |
egcs ONLY on 64-bit Solaris7. gcc-2.95 and SunPro C on 64bit should |
49 |
work fine, and any gcc or SunPro compiled on 32bit. |
50 |
|
51 |
- TESTED PLATFORMS: The code has been tested on the following platforms, and |
52 |
is known to run properly. |
53 |
(FIXME: this list is out of date) |
54 |
FreeBSD 3.x/4.x/5.x/7.x/8.0 (gcc only, TenDRA will work but only with the latest |
55 |
cvs version from ten15.org) |
56 |
Linux glibc 2.2/2.3/2.10.1/2.12.1 |
57 |
Solaris 2.6/7/8 |
58 |
OpenBSD 2.8-3.2 |
59 |
HP-UX 11.00-11.22 |
60 |
IRIX64 6.5.19 (gcc only; MIPSpro is unconfirmed) |
61 |
NetBSD 1.4-1.6 |
62 |
Tru64 UNIX 5.2b (only tested with native cc) |
63 |
|
64 |
It probably does not compile on AIX or libc5 Linux. |
65 |
|
66 |
- If you are wondering why config.h no longer exists, it's because most |
67 |
things that were once in config.h are now specified in the 'general' |
68 |
block of ircd.conf. Look at example.conf for more information about |
69 |
these options. Many, notably syslog support and EFnet tweaks, are now |
70 |
configure options (see ./configure --help for details.) |
71 |
|
72 |
- /etc/resolv.conf must exist for the resolver to work. |
73 |
|
74 |
- Please read NEWS for information about what is in |
75 |
this release. |
