22                                    HOW TO BUILD
# Line 30 | 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.
27 <

28     1.  Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
29 <       this version. Other good reads are BUGS, doc/example.conf, and
36 <       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. The paths are now handled

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 58 | Line 51
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  
67          * --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
68
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:
82  
83          * --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This
84            should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
85            so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
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
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.
71  
72 +          * --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This is
73 +            considered a developer-only feature and should not be used on any
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  
82     3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
# Line 106 | Line 84
84     4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules, and tools
85         in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
86  
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.

89                                  HOW TO GET HELP
90  
91 <   - Send Check or Money Order to... just kidding! You're on your own for
92 <     support. Try asking other ircd-hybrid admins on EFnet if you can't
93 <     fix it yourself. If you do fix anything, however, please send context
94 <     or unified diffs to bugs@ircd-hybrid.org so the fixes can be
95 <     incorporated into the next release of ircd-hybrid. If hybrid crashes
96 <     on you, PLEASE contact bugs@ircd-hybrid.org ASAP with a backtrace of
97 <     the core. The Hybrid team can't fix bugs if no one tells us about them!
