56              currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or

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
59            * --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).
60  
61            * --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
# Line 71 | Line 65
65            enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.
66  
67            * --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
68 <            This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. On systems
69 <            where the configure script can automatically detect OpenSSL, this
70 <            option is not necessary. If configure cannot find OpenSSL, you
71 <            must specify a path with this option
68 >            Required for the SSL Challenge controlled OPER feature, compressed

80              should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
81              so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
82  
83 +          * --enable-debugging - Prepares Makefiles to compile the ircd sources
84 +            with proper settings that are required for debugging purposes.
85 +            This switch basically sets CFLAGS to "-g -O0".
86 +
87            * --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
88              are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
89              may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
90              set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
91  
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
92            * --with-nicklen,
93              --with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
94              maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your

102         in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
103  
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.
