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/example.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.
|
|
/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.
|
|
|
|
6.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the config file has
|
|
changed drastically...
|
|
|
|
There is a utility to convert your old config file to the new format.
|
|
In prefix/bin there is something called "convertconf". Its usage is:
|
|
./convertconf (old config file to convert) (converted file name)
|
|
|
|
Convertconf will NOT convert I: lines. You must use "convertilines"
|
|
for this which contains a much superior method of conversion and
|
|
will group I: together under one auth {};.
|
|
|
|
Once this is done, move your new config to prefix/etc/ircd.conf and
|
|
EDIT IT! There are still things that need changing in the config,
|
|
including the fact that classes MUST be above auth/connect blocks!
|
|
|
|
7.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from Hybrid 5 or Hybrid 6, the kline file has
|
|
also changed...
|
|
|
|
There is a utility to convert the old kline configuration file to the
|
|
new format. In prefix/bin there is a program called "convertklines".
|
|
Its usage is: ./convertklines (old kline.conf filename) (new
|
|
kline.conf filename) (dline.conf filename).
|
|
|
|
Once this is done, move the new files into the prefix/etc/ directory
|
|
under their proper names. By default, the kline file is named
|
|
kline.conf and the dline file is named dline.conf.

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,
|
|

|
|
|
|
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
|
|

|
|

|
|
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.
