   3 To compile ircd on VMS, simply execute the make.com script
   4 from the top-level ircd directory:
   5
   6   $ SET DEF [.IRCD-HYBRID-7]
   7   $ @MAKE
   8
   9 This should build [.SRC]IRCD.EXE (servlink is not yet supported
  10 for VMS).
  11
  12 You'll probably want to edit [.INCLUDE]CONFIG.H before you build,
  13 to change the IRCD_PREFIX. NOTE: the ']' is deliberately left off
  14 the IRCD_PREFIX string - adding one will break it.
  15
  16 You might also want to change some of the other paths in [.INCLUDE]CONFIG.H.
  17
  18 After IRCD.EXE is built, you'll have to install it by hand.  Put it
  19 in a BIN subdirectory of the IRCD_PREFIX directory. IRCD.CONF
  20 goes into the ETC subdir.  You should also create LOGS, if you're
  21 putting logs there.
  22
  23 Known problems on VMS:
  24   - Lack of SERVLINK support means that ZIP and SSL aren't yet possible
  25     for VMS.
  26   - If IRCD.EXE exits immediately after startup, make sure that [.ETC]IRCD.PID
  27     doesn't exist.
  28
  29 It should work fine when started with RUN/DETACH.
  30
  31 So far, IRCD is known to work on OpenVMS 7.2/Alpha using DEC C V6.0-001.

  33 If anyone gets ircd working on VMS (or has problems with it), please mail me
  34 (ejb@drakenwood.ddts.net) with any comments you have.
  35
  36 If you have problem compiling from source, or are on a slow system
  37 (building IRCD on a VAXstation 3000 takes about two hours),
  38 binary distributions are available on the FTP site.
