HOW TO BUILD |
| 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. |

1. Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in |

this version. Other good reads are BUGS, doc/example.conf, and |

2. Run the configure script. It will create config.h and the |
| 32 |
|
Makefiles to match your system. The paths are now handled |
| 35 |
|
|
| 36 |
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ircd |

your system, but you may (unsupported) force their usage with |

undefined results: |
| 41 |
|
|
| 42 |
|
* --enable-kqueue - Use the superior kqueue(2) system call as |
| 51 |
|
currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or |
| 52 |
|
later. |
| 53 |
|
|
| 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 |
– |
|
| 54 |
|
* --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2). |
| 55 |
|
|
| 56 |
|
* --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2). |
| 70 |
|
|
| 71 |

| 72 |
|
These are optional or have default values that may be overridden: |
| 73 |
< |
|

|
| 74 |
|
* --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This |
| 75 |
|
should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed |
| 76 |
|
so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen. |
| 77 |
|
|
| 78 |
+ |
* --enable-debugging - Prepares Makefiles to compile the ircd sources |
| 79 |
+ |
with proper settings that are required for debugging purposes. |
| 80 |
+ |
This switch basically sets CFLAGS to "-g -O0". |
| 81 |
+ |
|
| 82 |
|
* --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops |
| 83 |
|
are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops |
| 84 |
|
may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is |
| 85 |
|
set. Halfops may not set (+/-p). |
| 86 |
|
|
| 94 |
– |
* --with-nicklen, |
| 95 |
– |
--with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and |
| 96 |
– |
maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your |
| 97 |
– |
entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively. |

3. Run 'make'; this should build the ircd. |
| 89 |
|
|
| 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 |
|
|
| 106 |
– |
5. If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the |
| 107 |
– |
contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages. |
