Hybrid INSTALL Document
$Id$
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 ircd-hybrid development team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Note for those who don't bother reading docs: |
| |
| Reading INSTALL is now a must, as the old DPATH is now specified when |
| configure is run. |
| |
| - You now need to ./configure --prefix="/path/to/install/it" as a |
| minimum. Try ./configure --help or read this file for more info on |
| the possible options you can pass to configure. |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO BUILD
As of hybrid-4, the distribution uses GNU autoconf instead of the old
Config script. You must run ./configure before you can (sanely) build
ircd-hybrid.
1. Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
this version. Other good reads are doc/reference.conf, and README.
2. Run the configure script. It will create config.h and the
Makefiles to match your system. The paths are now handled
with the --prefix option to configure.
/usr/local/ircd is the default if no prefix is specified.
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ircd
The script will determine whichever of the following is best for
your system, but you may (unsupported) force their usage with
undefined results:
* --enable-kqueue - Use the superior kqueue(2) system call as
opposed to the default poll(2). This is currently only available
on FreeBSD 4.1 or higher.
* --enable-devpoll - Enable the superior /dev/poll support on
Solaris. Linux /dev/poll is broken and will not work with this
option.
* --enable-epoll - Enables epoll(4) Signal I/O system. This is
currently only available on 2.5.44 Linux kernel versions or
later.
* --enable-poll - Use POSIX poll(2).
* --enable-select - Use POSIX select(2).
Incidentally, the order of listing above is the order of auto-
detection in configure. So if you do have kqueue but wish to
enable select(2) instead (bad idea), you must use --enable-select.
* --enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
Required for the SSL Challenge controlled OPER feature, compressed
and/or SSL/TLS server links, as well as SSL/TLS client connections.
On systems where the configure script can automatically detect
OpenSSL, this option is not necessary. If configure cannot find
OpenSSL, you must specify a path with this option
(--enable-openssl=/path/to/openssl)
These are optional or have default values that may be overridden:
* --enable-assert - Enable use of numerous debugging checks. This
should not be used on any production servers for maximum speed
so as to prevent cores from things that shouldn't normally happen.
* --enable-debugging - Prepares Makefiles to compile the ircd sources
with proper settings that are required for debugging purposes.
This switch basically sets CFLAGS to "-g -O0".
* --enable-halfops - Enable halfops (%, mode +h) usage. Halfops
are similar to plain ops, but can't kick/deop plain ops. Halfops
may or may not kick/deop other halfops depending on if (+p) is
set. Halfops may not set (+/-p).
3. Run 'make'; this should build the ircd.
4. Run 'make install'; this will install the server, modules, and tools
in the path with the prefix specified when configure was ran.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET HELP
- Send Check or Money Order to... just kidding! You're on your own for
support. Try asking other ircd-hybrid admins on EFnet if you can't
fix it yourself. If you do fix anything, however, please send context
or unified diffs to bugs@ircd-hybrid.org so the fixes can be
incorporated into the next release of ircd-hybrid. If hybrid crashes
on you, PLEASE contact bugs@ircd-hybrid.org ASAP with a backtrace of
the core. The Hybrid team can't fix bugs if no one tells us about them!
- https://lists.ircd-hybrid.org/mailman/listinfo/hybrid
Here you can subscribe to a mailing list for general discussion of Hybrid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES
The best way to get a backtrace of the core is to follow this sequence of
instructions:
1. Change to the directory containing the core file
2. Run gdb on the binary and the core file. With an unmodified ircd-hybrid
installation, an example command line is below (in the /usr/local/ircd
directory)
$ gdb bin/ircd ircd.core
3. At the "(gdb)" prompt, enter the command "bt full"
4. Save the output of the backtrace command and send it to
bugs@ircd-hybrid.org.
5. Be sure to save the ircd binary, the modules, and the core file in a
safe place in case the developers need to look deeper than a backtrace
provides.
