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

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.

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.

36         ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ircd

39 <       your system, but you may (unsupported) force their usage with
38 >       The script will determine whichever of the following is best for

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.
43 >            opposed to the default poll(2). This is currently only available
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
47 >            Solaris. Linux /dev/poll is broken and will not work with this

51              currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or
52              later.
53  
54 <          * --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 <
70 <          * --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).
71 <
72 <          * --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
73 <
74 <          Incidentally, the order of listing above is the order of auto-
75 <          detection in configure.  So if you do have kqueue but wish to
76 <          enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.
77 <
78 <          * --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
79 <            This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. On systems
80 <            where the configure script can automatically detect OpenSSL, this
81 <            option is not necessary.  If configure cannot find OpenSSL, you
82 <            must specify a path with this option
83 <            (--enable-openssl=/path/to/openssl)
84 <
85 <       These are optional or have default values that may be overridden:
86 <  
87 <          * --disable-shared-modules - Disable module support.  This option is
88 <            more secure, but reduces a lot of the flexibility in hybrid-7.
89 <            This may need to be used on some systems without a working
90 <            dlopen/dlsym.
91 <
92 <          * --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks.  This
93 <            should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
94 <            so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
95 <
96 <          * --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
97 <            are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
98 <            may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
99 <            set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
100 <
101 <          * --enable-small-net - Tunes the server for smaller networks by
102 <            reducing the startup memory footprint. This should really only be
103 <            used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
104 <            on larger networks.
105 <
106 <          * --enable-syslog=kill/squit/connect/users/oper, separated by
107 <            spaces, in quotes - Enables syslog logging, with events you specify
108 <            (none is okay too, and logs the most essential messages only.)
109 <
110 <          * --enable-syslog-facility=FACILITY - Check with your sysadmin to see
111 <            what this should be; by default it is LOG_LOCAL4. If you get it wrong
112 <            initially, no problem; just edit the value in include/setup.h.
113 <
114 <          * --with-nicklen,
115 <            --with-topiclen - Respectively, sets the maximum NICK length and
116 <            maximum TOPIC length. Note that this must be consistent across your
117 <            entire network. Defaults are 9 and 120, respectively.
118 <
119 <          * --disable-zlib - Build the ircd without ziplinks support.
120 <
121 <          * --disable-gline-voting - This is good for small networks or where
122 <            G-Line voting is not necessary. Please understand that by disabling
123 <            this, it will allow any operator with G-Line permissions to G-Line
124 <            someone without requiring the approval of 2 other operators. However,
125 <            it is useful if you use proxy scanners or services that do G-Lines.
126 <
127 <   3.  Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
128 <
129 <   4.  Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules(1), and tools
130 <       in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
131 <
132 <           (1) Unless the server was compiled without module support.
54 >          * --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).
55  
56 <   5.  If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the
57 <       contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages.
58 <
59 <   6.  If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
60 <       kill log, kline log and the gline log issue these commands at the
61 <       shell prompt (in the prefix directory).

62 >            and/or SSL/TLS server links, as well as SSL/TLS client connections.

154       By default, the kline file is named kline.conf, the dline file is
155       named dline.conf, the xline file is called xline.conf, and the gline
156       file is called gline.conf.

84 <       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 <
175 <   - http://forum.ircd-hybrid.org/
176 <     We decided to create a phpBB-like forum about ircd-hybrid, where you
177 <     can get help from coders and admins, post your suggestions, modules etc.
178 <
179 <   - https://lists.ircd-hybrid.org/mailman/listinfo/hybrid
180 <     Here you can subscribe to a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid.

92 >     reports, contact bugs@ircd-hybrid.org. Please provide as much information
93 >     as possible, context or unified diffs or backtrace of the core.
