************ Note for those who don't bother reading docs *************** |

|
|
* - 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" * |

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'! |

- Known bugs are listed in the BUGS file |

- 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 (gcc only, TenDRA will work but only with the latest |
| 61 |
|
|
cvs version from ten15.org) |
| 62 |
|
|
Linux glibc 2.2/2.3 |
| 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. |
