From 411c704f4b2ea0b7921c5613724a518ae7db57fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Pitcock Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2016 21:27:29 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] remove obsolete INSTALL document that clearly nobody ever reads --- INSTALL | 186 -------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 186 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 INSTALL diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL deleted file mode 100644 index e5abd5fc..00000000 --- a/INSTALL +++ /dev/null @@ -1,186 +0,0 @@ - Charybdis 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 - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - HOW TO BUILD - - As of hybrid-4, the distribution uses GNU autoconf instead of the old - Config script. The Makefile has also been updated to include CFLAGS - defines for popular modern OSes. - - 1. - - Read the NEWS file to find out about the exciting new features in - this version. Other good reads are BUGS, doc/ircd.conf.example, 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. - /usr/local/ircd is the default if no prefix is specified. - - ./configure --prefix="/usr/local/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-ipv6 - Enable IPv6 support. - - * - - --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 your 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. Try asking other ircd-ratbox admins on EFnet if you can't fix it - yourself. If you do fix anything, however, please send context or unified - diffs to ircd-ratbox@lists.ratbox.org so the fixes can be incorporated into - the next release of ircd-hybrid. If ratbox crashes on you, PLEASE contact - ircd-ratbox@lists.ratbox.org ASAP with a backtrace of the core. - - DISCUSSION: There is a mailing list for discussion of ratbox issues, - To subscribe, visit: - http://lists.ratbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ircd-ratbox - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - 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-ratbox - 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" - - 4. - - Save the output of the backtrace command and send it to - ircd-ratbox@lists.ratbox.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. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - 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 - restart.o s_auth.o s_bsd.o s_bsd_kqueue.o s_conf.o s_debug.o s_gline.o s_log.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.
