This is the UnderNet IRC daemon.
The installation of the IRC daemon (ircd) exists of the following steps:
-1) Untar the package.
+1) Retrieve the package.
2) cd into the base directory.
-3 )`./configure'
+3) `./configure'
4) `make config'
5) `make'
6) `make install'
-1) Untar the package
+1) Retrieve the package.
====================
-The name of the package is something like `ircu2.x.y.z.tgz', where
-"x.y.z" is the current release (at the time of writing we have
-ircu2.10.00.beta3.tgz).
+The recommended way to get the ircu package now is to use CVS. CVS makes
+upgrades a lot less painful and lets you get the latest package.
+
+1.1) The first thing you need to do is 'authenticate' yourself against the
+server.
+
+This is done with:
+
+cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@coder.com.undernet.org:/home/coder-com/cvs login
+
+(we recommend that you cut and paste the above line to use it :)
+When it prompts you for a password enter 'anoncvs'.
+
+1.2) Then you have to decide which of the trees you want to use:
+
+irc2.10 - This is the *STABLE* tree. If in doubt use this one!
-You need `gzip', the GNU unzip command, to uncompress this package.
-You can download this from every GNU ftp site for almost any Operating system.
+beta - This tree is undergoing testing before being promoted to ircu2.10
+ It may be buggy. Use on the undernet production network is prohibited,
+ except for certain authorised servers.
-If you have GNU tar, type:
+alpha - This is the development tree, if you are planning on making patches
+ to be submitted to the main source tree we recommend you use this
+ tree. However this tree is *not* guaranteed to compile, and should
+ be concidered HIGHLY unstable. It is not intended for production
+ use.
-tar xzf ircu2.x.y.z.tgz
+to check out the tree, type:
-where "ircu2.x.y.z.tgz" is the name of the package.
+cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@coder-com.undernet.org:/home/coder-com/cvs checkout
+ -P irc2.10
-If your tar doesn't support the 'z' flag, you can type alternatively:
+The above two lines shouldn't have an enter between them. if you want to
+use another tree, replace 'irc2.10' with the tree you want to use. This
+will create a directory irc2.10, and put all the files in there.
-gzip -dc ircu2.x.y.z.tgz | tar xf -
+to get the latest version, from within the tree type "cvs update -dP".
-Both methods result in a directory "ircu2.x.y.z" in your current directory.
+For more information see the coder-com website at
+http://coder-com.undernet.org/
+The old (tried and true) method that works even when the website isn't being
+DoS'd (sigh) is included below. Using the method below means you /cant/
+just type 'cvs update -dP' to get the latest version.
+
+ The name of the package is something like `ircu2.x.y.z.tgz', where
+ "x.y.z" is the current release (at the time of writing we have
+ ircu2.10.00.beta3.tgz).
+
+ You need `gzip', the GNU unzip command, to uncompress this package.
+ You can download this from every GNU ftp site for almost any Operating system.
+
+ If you have GNU tar, type:
+
+ tar xzf ircu2.x.y.z.tgz
+
+ where "ircu2.x.y.z.tgz" is the name of the package.
+
+ If your tar doesn't support the 'z' flag, you can type alternatively:
+
+ gzip -dc ircu2.x.y.z.tgz | tar xf -
+
+ Both methods result in a directory "ircu2.x.y.z" in your current directory.
+
2) cd into the base directory
=============================
cd ircu2.x.y.z
+or ircu2.10 if you used cvs.
+
where "ircu2.x.y.z" is the name of the unpacked directory.
3) `./configure'
This will generate 'config/setup.h', your Operating System dependend
configuration.
+If this produces a 'Permission Denied' error message, then try typing
+`chmod a+x ./configure` first to give yourself permission to run the file.
+
4) `make config'
================
to be supported in future releases, you best make a patch that
actually fixes the problem.
+If you have problems here with it complaining about unresolved symbols in
+res.o, try "make config" again and add -lresolv to LDFLAGS. Note, there is
+no 'e' on the end of resolv. It's not a typo, it's supposed to be like
+that.
+
+If you have problems here with it complaining about unresolved symbols
+possibly in s_user.c for 'crypt', add -lcrypt to LDFLAGS.
+
6) `make install'
=================
doesn't start.
Don't use a server with DEBUGMODE defined on a production net.
