INSTALL

   1 HOW TO BUILD:
   2 -------------
   3 1.  Run the configure script.  It will setup include/setup.h and the
   4     Makefiles to match your system:
   5         ./configure
   6
   7     Type ./configure --help to see different options.  Most people will not
   8     need to alter these.
   9
  10 2.  [DISCOURAGED] Edit the the "include/config.h" file.  This allows you to
  11     change various options of how the ircd will operate. Usually the defaults
  12     are OK.
  13
  14 3.  "make" should build ircd.
  15
  16 4.  "make install" will install the ircd, config converter, and documents
  17     to the directory set by ./configure
  18
  19 5.  Edit template.conf in your install directory, and move it to "ircd.conf".
  20
  21 6.  Run the binary!  ircd will look in the directory you are executing from
  22     for an ircd.conf first, then it will look to the directory local to itself.
  23     You may override these options by specifying a config file using:
  24     ./ircd -f path/to/ircd.conf
