1 | If you don't read this first, we won't help you. |

4 | ******************************* IMPORTANT ************************************* | |
5 | ||
6 | *********** Note for those who dont bother reading docs ***************** | |
7 | * - Reading INSTALL is now a must, as the old DPATH is now specified * | |
8 | * when configure is run. * | |
9 | * You now need to ./configure --prefix="/path/to/install/it" * | |
10422884 | 10 | * to specify the path that will be installed with your ircd! * |

11 | ************************************************************************* |
12 | ||
13 | ALSO, IF YOU ARE UPGRADING YOUR CURRENT SOURCE TREE, AND YOU TRY TO BUILD | |
14 | IN IT WITHOUT PERFORMING AT LEAST 'make clean', THINGS _WILL_ BREAK. IT IS | |
15 | RECOMMENDED THAT YOU RUN 'make distclean' AND THEN RERUN './configure'! | |
16 | ||
17 | ******************************* REQUIREMENTS ********************************** | |
18 | ||
19 | Necessary Requirements: | |
20 | ||
21 | - A supported platform (look below) | |
22 | ||
23 | - A working dynamic load library, unless | |
24 | compiling as static, without module | |
25 | support. | |
26 | ||
27 | - A working lex. Solaris /usr/ccs/bin/lex | |
28 | appears to be broken, on this system flex | |
29 | should be used. | |
30 | ||
31 | ||
32 | Feature Specific Requirements: | |
33 | ||
fbdcbb74 | 34 | - For SSL Clients, SSL Challenge controlled OPER feature, and encrypted server links, |
212380e3 AC |
35 | a working OpenSSL library |
36 | ||
fbdcbb74 | 37 | - For encrypted oper and (optional) server passwords, a working DES, MD5, or SHA library. |
212380e3 AC |

39 | ******************************************************************************* | |

fbdcbb74 | 41 | - To report bugs in charybdis, visit us at irc.atheme.org #charybdis |
212380e3 | 42 | |
212380e3 | 43 | - See the INSTALL document for info on configuring and compiling |
fbdcbb74 | 44 | charybdis. |
212380e3 AC |
45 | |
46 | - Please read doc/index.txt to get an overview of the current documentation. | |
47 | ||
212380e3 AC |
48 | - The files, /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and /etc/resolv.conf, MUST be |
49 | readable by the user running the server in order for ircd to start. | |
50 | Errors from adns causing the ircd to refuse to start up are often related | |
51 | to permission problems on these files. | |
52 | ||

53 | - FREEBSD USERS: if you are compiling with ipv6 you may experience |
54 | problems with ipv4 due to the way the socket code is written. To | |
55 | fix this you must: "sysctl net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0" | |
56 | ||
57 | - SOLARIS USERS: this code appears to tickle a bug in older gcc and | |
58 | egcs ONLY on 64-bit Solaris7. gcc-2.95 and SunPro C on 64bit should | |
59 | work fine, and any gcc or SunPro compiled on 32bit. | |
60 | ||
61 | - DARWIN AND MACOS X USERS: You must be using at least the December 2001 | |
fbdcbb74 | 62 | Development Tools from Apple to build charybdis with shared modules. |
212380e3 AC |
63 | Before then you MUST disable shared modules, as we do not have the proper |
64 | flags for cc(1) prior to that point to produce shared modules. | |
65 | ||
fbdcbb74 VY |
66 | - SUPPORTED PLATFORMS: this code should compile without any warnings on: |
67 | FreeBSD 6.x/7.x, | |
68 | Gentoo & Gentoo Hardened ~x86/~amd64/~fbsd | |
69 | Fedora 8/9 / CentOS 4/5 / Redhat Enterprise 5 | |
70 | Debian Etch, | |
71 | OpenSuSE 10/11, | |
72 | OpenSolaris 2008.x? | |
73 | Solaris 10 sparc. | |
74 | ||
212380e3 AC |
75 | Please let us know if you find otherwise. |
76 | It probably does not compile on AIX, IRIX or libc5 Linux. | |
77 | ||
78 | - TESTED PLATFORMS: The code has been tested on the following platforms, and | |
79 | is known to run properly. | |
fbdcbb74 VY |
80 | FreeBSD 6.x/7.x |
81 | Linux glibc-2.6, glibc-2.7 | |
212380e3 AC |
82 | Solaris 2.6/7/8 |
83 | OpenBSD 2.8 | |
