ngIRCd is free software and published under the
automake ("configure") should be no problem.
The normal installation procedure after getting (and expanding) the source
-files (using a distribution archive or CVS) is as following:
+files (using a distribution archive or GIT) is as following:
- 1) ./autogen.sh [only necessary when using CVS]
+ 1) ./autogen.sh [only necessary when using GIT]
2) ./configure
3) make
4) make install
The first step, autogen.sh, is only necessary if the configure-script isn't
already generated. This never happens in official ("stable") releases in
-tar.gz-archives, but when using CVS.
+tar.gz-archives, but when using GIT.
This step is therefore only interesting for developers.
The Z compression library ("libz") is required for this option.
* IO Backend (autodetected by default):
+ --with-select[=<path>] / --without-select
+ --with-poll[=<path>] / --without-poll
+ --with-devpoll[=<path>] / --without-devpoll
--with-epoll[=<path>] / --without-epoll
--with-kqueue[=<path>] / --without-kqueue
- ngIRCd can use three different IO "backends": the "old school" select()

+ more efficient and flexible epoll() (Linux >=2.6), kqueue() (BSD) and

By default the IO backend is autodetected, but you can use "--without-xxx"
- to disable a more enhanced API and force the daemon to use select().

* IDENT-Support:
--with-ident[=<path>]
Use "--help" to see a short help text describing all available parameters
the server understands, with "--version" the ngIRCd shows its version
number. In both cases the server exits after the output.
