***** EFNET NOTE ***** |

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 |

instead of example.conf. |

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, etc/example.conf, and |

| 27 |
|
|
| 28 |
< |
An example.conf for EFnet is in etc/ with the values "approved" as of |
| 29 |

October 12th, 2003 called example.efnet.conf. |

Solaris. Linux /dev/poll is broken and will not work with this |

* --enable-epoll - Enables epoll(4) Signal I/O system. This is |
| 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. |
| 54 |
> |
* --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2). |
| 55 |
|
|
| 56 |
< |
(1) Unless the server was compiled without module support. |

> |

| 59 |

|
| 60 |

* --with-tls= - Controls TLS (Transport Layer Security) support. |
| 61 |
> |
Supported options are currently 'openssl, 'wolfssl', 'gnutls', |
| 62 |
> |
and 'none'. |
| 63 |
|
|
| 64 |
< |
5. If you wish to install the contrib modules, run 'make install' in the |
| 65 |
< |
contrib/ folder to compile and install the modules and help pages. |
| 64 |
> |
If nothing has been specified, configure tries to autodetect in the |
| 65 |
> |
following order: openssl/libressl -> gnutls -> wolfssl. |
| 66 |
|
|
| 137 |
– |
6. If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log, |
| 138 |
– |
kill log, kline log and the gline log issue these commands at the |
| 139 |
– |
shell prompt (in the prefix directory). |
| 67 |
|
|
| 68 |
< |
$ touch logs/userlog |
| 142 |
< |
$ touch logs/operlog |
| 143 |
< |
$ touch logs/foperlog |
| 144 |
< |
$ touch logs/kill |
| 145 |
< |
$ touch logs/kline |
| 146 |
< |
$ touch logs/gline |
| 68 |
> |
These are optional or have default values that may be overridden: |
| 69 |
|
|
| 70 |
< |
Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch' |
| 71 |
< |
their specific names. |

| 74 |

| 75 |

* --enable-debugging - Prepares Makefiles to compile the ircd sources |
| 76 |

with proper settings that are required for debugging purposes. |
| 77 |

This switch basically sets CFLAGS to "-g -O0". |
| 78 |
|
|
| 79 |
< |
7. If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config files |
| 80 |
< |
have changed drastically... |

* --enable-efence - Allows easy linking with the electric fence memory |

debugger library. |

– |
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. |
| 82 |
|
|
| 83 |
< |
The nick resv file is named nresv.conf, channel resv file is named |
| 159 |
< |
cresv.conf. |
| 83 |

3. Run 'make'; this should build the ircd. |
| 84 |
|
|
| 85 |
< |
The oper motd file is named opers.motd. |

4. Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules, and tools |
