ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server (c)2001-2005 Alexander Barton, alex@barton.de, http://www.barton.de/ ngIRCd is free software and published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. -- README-AUX.txt -- Since version 0.2.2-pre Apple's A/UX belongs to the officially supported platforms. It is not restricted in any way. Since version 0.5.0 ngIRCd's source compiles with the native A/UX c compiler. GNU C isn't a must-have anymore. The following software packages are needed: - GNU sed Source: http://www.rezepte-im-web.de/appleux/sed-3.02.tar.gz ftp://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/sed-3.02.tar.gz A/UX comes with /bin/sed which isn't supporting all functions needed by GNU automake/autoconf. Warning: When installing GNU sed please make sure that A/UX doesn't use the old one anymore which means set the $PATH or replace /bin/sed at all. - libUTIL.a Source: ftp://ftp.mayn.de/pub/really_old_stuff/apple/apple_unix/Sys_stuff/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz> ftp://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/libraries/libUTIL-2.1.tar.gz This library contains functions that are common on other UNIX systems but not on A/UX e.g. memmove(), strerror() and strdup(). After installation of these packages just do a "./configure" and "make" to compile ngIRCd on A/UX. A few hints in case of errors: - Either there's an 'install' on your system which is completely broken (so 'configure' uses its own shell script) or use a fully functionable one. There's at least one binary "out there" causing problems. The one of the GNU fileutils works fine: ftp://arthur.barton.de/pub/unix/aux/tools/fileutils-4.0.tar.gz - The precompiled binary of the old 'bash' shouldn't be installed within /bin (better do this in /usr/local/bin) because 'configure' would choose it as its shell which wouldn't work. - Because of limitations of /bin/sh on A/UX it can't be used to create the 'config.status' script. Better rename /bin/sh to /bin/sh.AUX and replace it by a symbolic link to /bin/ksh (ln -s /bin/ksh /bin/sh as root). These procedure shouldn't cause you into problems and is recommended even if you don't use ngIRCd. -- $Id: README-AUX.txt,v 1.10 2006/07/23 12:19:57 alex Exp $
