22   ***** EFNET NOTE *****
23   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.

22                                    HOW TO BUILD
# Line 32 | Line 24
24     As of hybrid-4, the distribution uses GNU autoconf instead of the old
25     Config script. You must run ./configure before you can (sanely) build
26     ircd-hybrid.

28     1.  Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
29 <       this version. Other good reads are BUGS, etc/example.conf, and
38 <       README.
29 >       this version. Other good reads are doc/reference.conf, and README.
30  
31     2.  Run the configure script. It will create config.h and the
32 <       Makefiles to match your system. In hybrid-7, the paths are now handled
32 >       Makefiles to match your system. The paths are now handled
33         with the --prefix option to configure.
34         /usr/local/ircd is the default if no prefix is specified.
35  
36         ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ircd

38 >       The script will determine whichever of the following is best for
39 >       your system, but you may (unsupported) force their usage with
40         undefined results:
41  
42            * --enable-kqueue - Use the superior kqueue(2) system call as
43              opposed to the default poll(2). This is currently only available
44 <            on FreeBSD 4.1 or higher.
44 >            on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Mac OS X
45  
46            * --enable-devpoll - Enable the superior /dev/poll support on
47              Solaris. Linux /dev/poll is broken and will not work with this
# Line 60 | Line 51
51              currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or
52              later.
53  
63          * --enable-rtsigio - Enable the superior Linux RealTime Signal I/O
64            system. This is currently only available on 2.4 Linux kernel
65            versions or later.
66
54            * --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).
55  
69          * --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
70
56            Incidentally, the order of listing above is the order of auto-
57            detection in configure. So if you do have kqueue but wish to
58 <          enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.
58 >          enable poll(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-poll.
59  
60 <          * --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
61 <            This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. On systems
62 <            where the configure script can automatically detect OpenSSL, this
63 <            option is not necessary. If configure cannot find OpenSSL, you
64 <            must specify a path with this option
60 >          * --enable-openssl - Enable the LibreSSL/OpenSSL dependent crypto functions.
61 >            Required for the SSL Challenge controlled OPER feature, compressed
62 >            and/or SSL/TLS server links, as well as SSL/TLS client connections.

67              (--enable-openssl=/path/to/openssl)
68  
69  
70         These are optional or have default values that may be overridden:
84  
85          * --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This
86            should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
87            so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
88
89          * --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
90            are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
91            may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
92            set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
93
94          * --enable-small-net - Tunes the server for smaller networks by
95            reducing the startup memory footprint. This should really only be
96            used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
97            on larger networks.
98
99          * --enable-syslog=kill/squit/connect/users/oper, separated by
100            spaces, in quotes - Enables syslog logging, with events you specify
101            (none is okay too, and logs the most essential messages only.)
102
103          * --enable-syslog-facility=FACILITY - Check with your sysadmin to see
104            what this should be; by default it is LOG_LOCAL4. If you get it wrong
105            initially, no problem; just edit the value in include/setup.h.
106
107          * --with-nicklen,
108            --with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
109            maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
110            entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.
71  
72 <          * --disable-zlib - Build the ircd without ziplinks support.
72 >          * --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This is

74 >            production servers for maximum speed so as to prevent cores from
75 >            things that shouldn't normally happen.
76 >
77 >          * --enable-debugging - Prepares Makefiles to compile the ircd sources
78 >            with proper settings that are required for debugging purposes.
79 >            This switch basically sets CFLAGS to "-g -O0".
80 >
81 >          * --disable-mempool - Disables the memory pooling allocator and makes
82 >            code fall back straight to malloc/free. Useful for debugging purposes.
83 >
84 >          * --enable-efence - Allows easy linking with the electric fence memory
85 >            debugger library.
86  
87  
88     3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
# Line 117 | Line 90
90     4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules, and tools
91         in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
92  
120   5.  If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the
121       contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages.
122
123   6.  If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
124       kill log, kline log and the gline log issue these commands at the
125       shell prompt (in the prefix directory).
126
127       $ touch logs/userlog
128       $ touch logs/operlog
129       $ touch logs/foperlog
130       $ touch logs/kill
131       $ touch logs/kline
132       $ touch logs/gline
133
134       Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch'
135             their specific names.
136
137   7.  If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config files
138       have changed drastically.
139
140       By default, the kline file is named kline.conf, the dline file is
141       named dline.conf, and the xline file is called xline.conf.
142
143       The nick resv file is named nresv.conf, channel resv file is named
144       cresv.conf.
145
146       The oper motd file is named opers.motd.

95                                  HOW TO GET HELP
96  
97 <   - Send Check or Money Order to... just kidding! You're on your own for
98 <     support. Try asking other ircd-hybrid admins on EFnet if you can't
99 <     fix it yourself. If you do fix anything, however, please send context
100 <     or unified diffs to bugs@ircd-hybrid.org so the fixes can be
101 <     incorporated into the next release of ircd-hybrid. If hybrid crashes
102 <     on you, PLEASE contact bugs@ircd-hybrid.org ASAP with a backtrace of
103 <     the core. The Hybrid team can't fix bugs if no one tells us about them!

161 <     Here you can subscribe to a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid.
