+ incoming server link while preparing its own outgoing connection.
+ Peers that both try to connect each other could have been affected.

The normal installation procedure after getting (and expanding) the source
files (using a distribution archive or GIT) is as following:
- 1) ./autogen.sh [only necessary when using GIT]
+ 0) Satisfy prerequisites
+ 1) ./autogen.sh [only necessary when using GIT]
2) ./configure
3) make
4) make install
doc/ directory: sample-ngircd.conf.
+0): Satisfy prerequisites
+
+When building from source, you'll need some other software to build ngIRCd:
+for example a working C compiler, make tool, GNU automake and autoconf (only
+when not using a distribution archive), and a few libraries depending on the
+features you want to compile in (like IDENT support, SSL, and PAM).
+
+If you are using one of the "big" operating systems or Linux distributions,
+you can use the following commands to install all the required packages to
+build the sources including all optional features and to run the test suite:
+
+* RedHat / Fedora based distributions:
+
+ yum install \
+ autoconf automake expect gcc glibc-devel gnutls-devel \
+ libident-devel make pam-devel tcp_wrappers-devel telnet zlib-devel
+
+* Debian / Ubuntu based distributions:
+
+ apt-get install \
+ autoconf automake build-essential expect libgnutls-dev \
+ libident-dev libpam-dev libwrap0-dev libz-dev telnet
+
+
1): "autogen.sh"
The first step, autogen.sh, is only necessary if the configure-script isn't
