+The make command uses the Makefiles produced by configure and compiles the
+ngIRCd daemon.
+
+
+4): "make install"
+
+Use "make install" to install the server and a sample configuration file on
+the local system. Normally, root privileges are necessary to complete this
+step. If there is already an older configuration file present, it won't be
+overwritten.
+
+This files will be installed by default:
+
+- /usr/local/sbin/ngircd: executable server
+- /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf: sample configuration (if not already present)
+- /usr/local/share/doc/ngircd/: documentation
+
+
+II. Useful make-targets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Makefile produced by the configure-script contains always these useful
+targets:
+
+ - clean: delete every product from the compiler/linker
+ next step: -> make
+
+ - distclean: the above plus erase all generated Makefiles
+ next step: -> ./configure
+
+ - maintainer-clean: erase all automatic generated files
+ next step: -> ./autogen.sh
+
+
+III. Sample configuration file ngircd.conf
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In the sample configuration file, there are comments beginning with "#" OR
+";" -- this is only for the better understanding of the file.
+
+The file is separated in four blocks: [Global], [Operator], [Server], and
+[Channel].
+
+In the [Global] section, there is the main configuration like the server
+name and the ports, on which the server should be listening. IRC operators
+of this server are defined in [Operator] blocks. [Server] is the section
+where server links are configured. And [Channel] blocks are used to
+configure pre-defined ("persistent") IRC channels.
+
+The meaning of the variables in the configuration file is explained in the
+"doc/sample-ngircd.conf", which is used as sample configuration file in
+/usr/local/etc after running "make install" (if you don't already have one)
+and in the "ngircd.conf" manual page.
+
+
+IV. Command line options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These parameters could be passed to the ngIRCd:
+
+-f, --config <file>
+ The daemon uses the file <file> as configuration file rather than
+ the standard configuration /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf.
+
+-n, --nodaemon
+ ngIRCd should be running as a foreground process.
+
+-p, --passive
+ Server-links won't be automatically established.
+
+--configtest
+ Reads, validates and dumps the configuration file as interpreted
+ by the server. Then exits.
+
+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.
