21	<	You should run ./configure with the option '--enable-efnet' to tweak
24	<	some options to be EFNet based.  You must also use the example.efnet.conf
25	<	instead of example.conf.

30		ircd-hybrid.

32	<	1.  Read the RELNOTES file to find out about the exciting new features in

40	<	An example.conf for EFnet is in etc/ with the values "approved" as of
41	<	October 12th, 2003 called example.efnet.conf.

52		Solaris. Linux /dev/poll is broken and will not work with this
53		option.
54
55	+	* --enable-epoll - Enables epoll(4) Signal I/O system. This is
56	+	currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or
57	+	later.
58	+
59		* --enable-rtsigio - Enable the superior Linux RealTime Signal I/O
60		system. This is currently only available on 2.4 Linux kernel
61		versions or later.
62
63	<	* --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).

67	<	* --enable-clobber - Don't preserve the old binaries on make install
68	<
69	<	Incidentally, the order of listing above is the order of auto-
73	<	detection in configure. So if you do have kqueue but wish to
74	<	enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.

70
71		* --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
72	<	This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. On systems
73	<	where the configure script can automatically detect OpenSSL, this
74	<	option is not necessary. If configure cannot find OpenSSL, you
75	<	must specify a path with this option
72	>	Required for the SSL Challenge controlled OPER feature, compressed
73	>	and/or SSL/TLS server links, as well as SSL/TLS client connections.

81		These are optional or have default values that may be overridden:
82
85	–	* --disable-shared-modules - Disable module support. This option is
86	–	more secure, but reduces a lot of the flexibility in hybrid-7.
87	–	This may need to be used on some systems without a working
88	–	dlopen/dlsym.
89	–
83		* --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This
84		should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
85	<	so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
93	<
94	<	* --enable-efence - Enable ElectricFence which is a memory debugger.
95	<
96	<	* --enable-profile - Enable profiling support in ircd-hybrid.
85	>	so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
86
87	<	* --disable-block-alloc - Disable block allocations (only works with
88	<	ElectricFence).
87	>	* --enable-debugging - Prepares Makefiles to compile the ircd sources
88	>	with proper settings that are required for debugging purposes.
89	>	This switch basically sets CFLAGS to "-g -O0".
90	>
91	>	* --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
92	>	are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
93	>	may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
94	>	set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
95
96	<	* --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
97	<	are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
98	<	may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
99	<	set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
105	<
106	<	* --enable-small-net - Tunes the server for smaller networks by
107	<	reducing the startup memory footprint. This should really only be
108	<	used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
109	<	on larger networks.
96	>	* --with-nicklen,
97	>	--with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
98	>	maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
99	>	entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.
100
111	–	* --enable-syslog=kill/squit/connect/users/oper, separated by
112	–	spaces, in quotes - Enables syslog logging, with events you specify
113	–	(none is okay too, and logs the most essential messages only.)
101
115	–	* --enable-syslog-facility=FACILITY - Check with your sysadmin to see
116	–	what this should be; by default it is LOG_LOCAL4. If you get it wrong
117	–	initially, no problem; just edit the value in include/setup.h.
118	–
119	–	* --with-nicklen,
120	–	--with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
121	–	maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
122	–	entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.
123	–
124	–	* --with-maxconn - Sets the maximum number of connections the ircd
125	–	can support. Note that this also twiddles the HARD_FDLIMIT.
126	–	If HARD_FDLIMIT ends up being larger that FD_SETSIZE when using
127	–	select() for your I/O loop, s_bsd_select.c will refuse to compile
128	–	(and tell you to use poll instead). Take this error's advice and
129	–	use --enable-poll or something a bit more efficient. You'll be
130	–	happier at the end of the day for it.
131	–
132	–	* --disable-zlib - Build the ircd without ziplinks support.
133	–
134	–	* --disable-gline-voting - This is good for small networks or where
135	–	G-Line voting is not necessary. Please understand that by disabling
136	–	this, it will allow any operator with G-Line permissions to G-Line
137	–	someone without requiring the approval of 2 other operators. However,
138	–	it is useful if you use proxy scanners or services that do G-Lines.
102
103		3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
104
105	<	4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules(1), and tools
105	>	4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules, and tools
106		in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
107
145	–	(1) Unless the server was compiled without module support.
146	–
147	–	5.  If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the
148	–	contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages.
149	–
150	–	6.  If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
151	–	kill log, kline log and the gline log issue these commands at the
152	–	shell prompt (in the prefix directory).
153	–
154	–	$ touch logs/userlog
155	–	$ touch logs/operlog
156	–	$ touch logs/foperlog
157	–	$ touch logs/kill
158	–	$ touch logs/kline
159	–	$ touch logs/gline
160	–
161	–	Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch'
162	–	their specific names.
163	–
164	–	7.  If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config files
165	–	have changed drastically...
166	–
167	–	By default, the kline file is named kline.conf, the dline file is
168	–	named dline.conf, the xline file is called xline.conf, and the gline
169	–	file is called gline.conf.
170	–
171	–	The nick resv file is named nresv.conf, channel resv file is named
172	–	cresv.conf.
173	–
174	–	The oper motd file is named opers.motd.

110		HOW TO GET HELP
#	Line 185 | Line 117
117		on you, PLEASE contact bugs@ircd-hybrid.org ASAP with a backtrace of
118		the core. The Hybrid team can't fix bugs if no one tells us about them!
119
188	–	- http://forum.ircd-hybrid.org/
189	–	We decided to create a phpBB-like forum about ircd-hybrid, where you
190	–	can get help from coders and admins, post your suggestions, modules etc.
191	–
120		- https://lists.ircd-hybrid.org/mailman/listinfo/hybrid
121		Here you can subscribe to a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid.
