ChatIRCd INSTALL Document
$Id: INSTALL 3384 2007-04-03 22:45:04Z jilles $
Copyright (c) 2001 by ircd-hybrid team
Copyright (c) 2002-2004 ircd-ratbox development team
Copyright (c) 2005-2008 charybdis development team
Copyright (c) 2014-2017 ChatLounge IRC Network Development Team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO BUILD
1.
Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in
this version. Other good reads are doc/example.conf, doc/reference.conf,
and README.FIRST.
2.
Run the configure script. It will create include/setup.h and the
Makefiles to match your system. In ircd-ratbox, the paths are now handled
with the --prefix option to configure, not in config.h.
$HOME/ircd is the default if no prefix is specified.
./configure --prefix="$HOME/ircd"
Note: There are some special optional parameters to the configure
script that some admins may wish to use.
*
--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 - Enable the superior Linux Edge-Triggered Polling
system. This is currently only available on 2.5 Linux kernel
versions or later.
*
--enable-openssl - Enable the openssl dependent crypto functions.
This will allow CHALLENGE to work and encrypted links. 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)
*
--enable-assert[=OPTION] - Enable some debugging code. OPTION is
either 'soft' or 'hard' (default: hard). 'hard' should never be
used on production servers as it may generate unnecessary cores.
'soft' prevents cores from being generated but still imposes some
additional load.
*
--enable-small-net - Tunes the server for smaller networks by
reducing the startup memory footprint. This should really only be
used for *small* networks, as this tends to be a performance hit
on larger networks.
*
--with-nicklen=LENGTH - Sets the maximum NICK length. Note that
this must be consistent across the entire network.
*
--with-topiclen=LENGTH - Sets the maximum TOPIC length. Note that
this must be consistent across the entire network.
3.
'make' should build ircd.
4.
'make install' will install the server, modules, and tools in the
the prefix specified when configure was run.
5.
If you wish to enable the user log, oper log, and failed oper log,
issue these commands at the shell prompt (in the prefix directory)
$ touch logs/userlog
$ touch logs/operlog
$ touch logs/foperlog
Note: If you use different names in ircd.conf, you must 'touch' the
specific names.

HOW TO GET HELP
Send Check or Money Order to... just kidding! You're on your own for
support. You may try asking the development channel on ChatLounge if you can't
fix it yourself. The channel may be found at: #ChatIRCd @ irc.chatlounge.net
If you do fix anything, however, please send context or unified diffs to
the development team at the development channel so the fixes can be incorporated
into the next release of ChatIRCd. If ChatIRCd crashes on you, PLEASE contact
Ben @ irc.chatlounge.net ASAP with a backtrace of the core.
DISCUSSION: There is development channel for discussion of ChatIRCd issues.
To join:
#ChatIRCd @ irc.chatlounge.net
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 ChatIRCd
installation, an example command line is below (in the $HOME/ircd
directory)
$ gdb bin/ircd core
3.
At the "(gdb)" prompt, enter the command "bt full"
4.
Save the output of the backtrace command and send it to the development
team at #ChatIRCd @ irc.chatlounge.net .
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OPENSSL NOTES
Older FreeBSD machines sometimes have the obsolete ports version of
OpenSSL libcrypto in /usr/local/lib. When configure is used with
--enable-openssl, and libintl is detected in /usr/local/lib, the
/usr/local/lib directory will be searched BEFORE the system /usr/lib for
libraries by the linker. The linker may try to link to the old
/usr/local/lib libcrypto instead of the system /usr/lib libcrypto. Some
older versions may cause error messages similar to the following:
gcc -g -O2 -DIRCD_PREFIX=\"/home/wcampbel/ircd\" -Wl,-export-dynamic
-L/usr/local/lib -o ircd blalloc.o channel.o vchannel.o class.o client.o
dline_conf.o event.o fdlist.o fileio.o hash.o irc_string.o ircd.o ircdauth.o
ircd_signal.o linebuf.o list.o listener.o m_error.o match.o memdebug.o
modules.o motd.o mtrie_conf.o oldparse.o numeric.o packet.o parse.o res.o rsa.o

s_misc.o s_serv.o s_stats.o s_user.o scache.o send.o sprintf_irc.o tools.o
whowas.o lex.yy.o y.tab.o version.o -lintl -ldescrypt -lcrypto -lfl
rsa.o: In function `get_randomness':
/home/wcampbel/dev/ircd-ratbox/src/rsa.c(.text+0x60): undefined reference to
`RAND_pseudo_bytes'
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so: undefined reference to `ERR_load_RSAREF_strings'
/usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so: undefined reference to `RSA_PKCS1_RSAref'
*** Error code 1
If this is the case, you may need to rerun configure without the
--enable-openssl option, manually edit src/Makefile and modules/Makefile
to put -L/usr/lib before the -L/usr/local/lib in LDFLAGS, or remove the
old OpenSSL from /usr/local, and recompile all applications that use
libcrypto to use the system one.
