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.
35	–
36	–	1.  Read the RELNOTES file to find out about the exciting new features in
37	–	this version. Other good reads are doc/whats-new.txt, BUGS,
38	–	etc/example.conf, and README.FIRST.
27
28	<	An example.conf for EFnet is in etc/ with the values "approved" as of
29	<	October 12th, 2003 called example.efnet.conf.

32	<	Makefiles to match your system. In hybrid-7, 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

40		undefined results:
41
42		* --enable-kqueue - Use the superior kqueue(2) system call as
#	Line 59 | Line 47
47		Solaris. Linux /dev/poll is broken and will not work with this
48		option.
49
50	<	* --enable-rtsigio - Enable the superior Linux RealTime Signal I/O
51	<	system. This is currently only available on 2.4 Linux kernel
52	<	versions or later.
65	<
66	<	* --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).

55
56	<	* --enable-clobber - Don't preserve the old binaries on make install
56	>	* --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
57
58	<	Incidentally, the order of listing above is the order of auto-
59	<	detection in configure. So if you do have kqueue but wish to
60	<	enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.

61
62		* --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
63	<	This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. On systems
64	<	where the configure script can automatically detect OpenSSL, this
65	<	option is not necessary. If configure cannot find OpenSSL, you
66	<	must specify a path with this option
63	>	Required for the SSL Challenge controlled OPER feature, compressed
64	>	and/or SSL/TLS server links, as well as SSL/TLS client connections.

72		These are optional or have default values that may be overridden:
84	–
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.
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.
76	>	so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
77
78	<	* --enable-efence - Enable ElectricFence which is a memory debugger.
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
96	–	* --enable-profile - Enable profiling support in ircd-hybrid.
97	–
98	–	* --disable-block-alloc - Disable block allocations (only works with
99	–	ElectricFence).
100	–
101	–	* --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
102	–	are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
103	–	may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
104	–	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.
110	–
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.)
114	–
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.

88		3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
89
90	<	4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules(1), and tools

91		in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
92
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.
