[irc/ircd-hybrid/ircd-hybrid-8-cvs.git] / README.VMS

Last tested version: hybrid-7beta8 20011030_2

To compile ircd on VMS, simply execute the make.com script
from the top-level ircd directory:

  $ SET DEF [.IRCD-HYBRID-7]
  $ @MAKE

This should build [.SRC]IRCD.EXE (servlink is not yet supported
for VMS). 

You'll probably want to edit [.INCLUDE]CONFIG.H before you build,
to change the IRCD_PREFIX. NOTE: the ']' is deliberately left off
the IRCD_PREFIX string - adding one will break it.

You might also want to change some of the other paths in [.INCLUDE]CONFIG.H.

After IRCD.EXE is built, you'll have to install it by hand.  Put it
in a BIN subdirectory of the IRCD_PREFIX directory. IRCD.CONF
goes into the ETC subdir.  You should also create LOGS, if you're
putting logs there.

Known problems on VMS:
  - Lack of SERVLINK support means that ZIP and SSL aren't yet possible
    for VMS.
  - If IRCD.EXE exits immediately after startup, make sure that [.ETC]IRCD.PID
    doesn't exist.

It should work fine when started with RUN/DETACH.

So far, IRCD is known to work on OpenVMS 7.2/Alpha using DEC C V6.0-001.

If anyone gets ircd working on VMS (or has problems with it), please mail me
(ejb@drakenwood.ddts.net) with any comments you have.

If you have problem compiling from source, or are on a slow system
(building IRCD on a VAXstation 3000 takes about two hours),
binary distributions are available on the FTP site.
