22   ***** EFNET NOTE *****
23   You should run ./configure with the option '--enable-efnet' to tweak
24   some options to be EFNet based. You must also use the example.efnet.conf
25   instead of example.conf.

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 NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
37       this version. Other good reads are BUGS, etc/example.conf, and
38       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.
28 >   1.  Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
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. In hybrid-7, the paths are now handled
32 >       Makefiles to match your system. 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
37  
38 <       The script will determine whichever of the following is best for
39 <       your system, but you may (unsupported) force their usage with
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 63 | Line 51
51              currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or
52              later.
53  
66          * --enable-rtsigio - Enable the superior Linux RealTime Signal I/O
67            system. This is currently only available on 2.4 Linux kernel
68            versions or later.
69
54            * --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).
55  
72          * --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
73
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.
63 >
64 >            On systems where the configure script can automatically detect
65 >            LibreSSL or OpenSSL, this option is not necessary. If configure cannot
66 >            find LibreSSL or OpenSSL, you must specify a path with this option
67              (--enable-openssl=/path/to/openssl)
68  
69  
70         These are optional or have default values that may be overridden:
87  
88          * --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This
89            should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
90            so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
91
92          * --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
93            are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
94            may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
95            set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
96
97          * --enable-small-net - Tunes the server for smaller networks by
98            reducing the startup memory footprint. This should really only be
99            used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
100            on larger networks.
101
102          * --enable-syslog=kill/squit/connect/users/oper, separated by
103            spaces, in quotes - Enables syslog logging, with events you specify
104            (none is okay too, and logs the most essential messages only.)
105
106          * --enable-syslog-facility=FACILITY - Check with your sysadmin to see
107            what this should be; by default it is LOG_LOCAL4. If you get it wrong
108            initially, no problem; just edit the value in include/setup.h.
109
110          * --with-nicklen,
111            --with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
112            maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
113            entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.
71  
72 <          * --disable-zlib - Build the ircd without ziplinks support.
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.
83  
84 <   4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules(1), and tools
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  
123           (1) Unless the server was compiled without module support.
124
125   5.  If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the
126       contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages.
127
128   6.  If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
129       kill log, kline log and the gline log issue these commands at the
130       shell prompt (in the prefix directory).
131
132       $ touch logs/userlog
133       $ touch logs/operlog
134       $ touch logs/foperlog
135       $ touch logs/kill
136       $ touch logs/kline
137       $ touch logs/gline
138
139       Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch'
140             their specific names.
141
142   7.  If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config files
143       have changed drastically...
144
145       By default, the kline file is named kline.conf, the dline file is
146       named dline.conf, the xline file is called xline.conf, and the gline
147       file is called gline.conf.
148
149       The nick resv file is named nresv.conf, channel resv file is named
150       cresv.conf.
151
152       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!
98 <
166 <   - https://lists.ircd-hybrid.org/mailman/listinfo/hybrid
167 <     Here you can subscribe to a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid.

93 >     as possible, context or unified diffs or backtrace of the core.
