16     |   minimum. Try ./configure --help or read this file for more info on   |

32     1.  Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
33 <       this version. Other good reads are BUGS, doc/example.conf, and

33 >       this version. Other good reads are doc/example.conf, and README.
34  
35     2.  Run the configure script. It will create config.h and the
36         Makefiles to match your system. The paths are now handled

55              currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or
56              later.
57  
61          * --enable-rtsigio - Enable the superior Linux RealTime Signal I/O
62            system. This is currently only available on 2.4 Linux kernel
63            versions or later.
64
58            * --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).
59  
60            * --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
# Line 71 | Line 64
64            enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.
65  
66            * --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
67 <            This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. On systems
68 <            where the configure script can automatically detect OpenSSL, this
69 <            option is not necessary. If configure cannot find OpenSSL, you
70 <            must specify a path with this option
67 >            Required for the SSL Challenge controlled OPER feature, compressed
68 >            and/or SSL/TLS server links, as well as SSL/TLS client connections.

79              should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
80              so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
81  
82 +          * --enable-debugging - Prepares Makefiles to compile the ircd sources
83 +            with proper settings that are required for debugging purposes.
84 +            This switch basically sets CFLAGS to "-g -O0".
85 +
86            * --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
87              are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
88              may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
89              set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
90  
92          * --enable-small-net - Tunes the server for smaller networks by
93            reducing the startup memory footprint. This should really only be
94            used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
95            on larger networks.
96
97          * --with-nicklen,
98            --with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
99            maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
100            entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.

91  
92     3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
93  
94     4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules, and tools
95         in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
96  
109   5.  If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the
110       contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages.
111
112   6.  If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config files
113       have changed drastically.
114
115       By default, the kline file is named kline.conf, the dline file is
116       named dline.conf, and the xline file is called xline.conf.
117
118       The nick resv file is named nresv.conf, channel resv file is named
119       cresv.conf.
120
121       The oper motd file is named opers.motd.
