General +~~~~~~~~~~ +Q: Is it possible to link the ngIRCd with non-ngIRCd servers? +A: Yes. ngIRCd is compatible to the original ircd used by IRCNet. Actually + this is being tested with version 2.10.3p3. +Q: Is there a homepage with further information and downloads? +A: Yes. Please visit . -I. Allgemein -~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Q: Kann der ngIRCd im Netz zusammen mit "normalen" Servern betrieben werden? -A: Ja. ngIRCd ist zum Original kompatibel, getestet wird dies zur Zeit mit - der Version 2.10.3p3 des ircd. -Q: Gibt es eine Homepage mit Informationen und Downloads? -A: Ja. Die URL ist . - - -II. Compilieren +II. Compilation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Q: Ich habe die Sourcen von ngIRCd ueber CVS installiert. Nun kann ich - ./configure nicht ausfuehren, da es nicht existiert!? -A: Bei Builds direkt aus dem CVS-Tree muss das configure-Script zunaechst - durch GNU autoconf sowie die Makefile.in's durch GNU automake generiert - werden. Um dies zu vereinfachen existiert das Script "./autogen.sh". - GNU automake und GNU autoconf werden -- im Gegensatz zu Builds aus den - Sourcen eines .tar.gz-Archivs -- hierbei benoetigt! - -Q: ./autogen.sh bricht mit der Meldung "autoheader: command not found" ab. -A: GNU autoconf ist nicht installiert, wird jedoch bei Builds direkt aus - dem CVS-Tree benoetigt. - -Q: ./autogen.sh bricht mit der Meldung "autoconf: Undefined macros: - AC_FUNC_MALLOC" bzw. "AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR" ab. -A: Auf dem System ist eine zu alte Version von GNU autoconf installiert. - Ein Update auf z.B. Version 2.52 loest dieses Problem (eine installiete - alte Version sollte ggf. zunaechst entfernt werden, bei RPM-Paketen z.B. - mit dem Befehl "rpm -e autoconf"). +Q: I did a "CVS checkout" but can't execute ./configure because the script + is missing in the generated directory!? +A: When using development versions via CVS, the configure script as well as + the Makefile.in templates must be generated using GNU automake and GNU + autoconf. To simplify this task run the ./autogen.sh script which will + execute the required tools for you; then continue with executing the + ./configure script as usual. + +Q: The ./autogen.sh script complains "aclocal: command not found". +A: GNU automake is missing on your system but required for building CVS + versions of ngIRCd. Install GNU automake 1.6 or later and try again. + +Q: The ./autogen.sh script stops with "autoheader: command not found". +A: GNU autoconf is missing on your system but required for building CVS + versions of ngIRCd. Install GNU autoconf 2.52 or later and try again. + +Q: The ./autogen.sh script fails and the message "automake: configure.in: + AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE must be used" is displayed. +A: Most probably you are using version 1.5 of GNU automake which seems to be + incompatible to the build system of ngIRCd. Solution: upgrade to at least + version 1.6 of GNU automake. + (If you are using Debian 3.0 "Woody" you can try to downgrade to version + 1.4 of GNU automake shipped with this distribution; it should work, too.) III. Bugs!? ~~~~~~~~~~~ -Q: Gibt es eine Liste der bekannten Bugs bzw. Feature-Wuensche? -A: Ja. Es existiert ein Bug-Tracking-System fuer den ngIRCd (Bugzilla): - URL: . Dort koennen Bugs ge- - meldet und Feature-Wunsche kundgetan werden. Bekannte Bugs koennen in - der Datenbank gesucht und aufgelistet werden. - Einen Account zum Suchen und Melden von Bugs bzw. Feature-Wuenschen - kannst du dir dort selber anlegen. +Q: Is there a list of known bugs and desired feature enhancements? +A: Yes. Have a look at the bug tracking system (Bugzilla) for ngIRCd located + at .
