15 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: Is it possible to link the ngIRCd with non-ngIRCd servers?
16 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex A: Yes. ngIRCd is compatible to the original ircd used by IRCNet. Actually
17 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex this is being tested with version 2.10.3p3.
19 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: Is there a homepage with further information and downloads?
20 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex A: Yes. Please visit <http://arthur.ath.cx/~alex/ngircd/>.
23 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex II. Compilation
24 077b610e 2002-01-23 alex ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
25 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: I did a "CVS checkout" but can't execute ./configure because the script
26 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex is missing in the generated directory!?
27 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex A: When using development versions via CVS, the configure script as well as
28 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex the Makefile.in templates must be generated using GNU automake and GNU
29 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex autoconf. To simplify this task run the ./autogen.sh script which will
30 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex execute the required tools for you; then continue with executing the
31 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex ./configure script as usual.
33 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: The ./autogen.sh script complains "aclocal: command not found".
34 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex A: GNU automake is missing on your system but required for building CVS
35 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex versions of ngIRCd. Install GNU automake 1.6 or later and try again.
37 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: The ./autogen.sh script stops with "autoheader: command not found".
38 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex A: GNU autoconf is missing on your system but required for building CVS
39 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex versions of ngIRCd. Install GNU autoconf 2.52 or later and try again.
41 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: The ./autogen.sh script fails and the message "automake: configure.in:
42 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE must be used" is displayed.
43 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex A: Most probably you are using version 1.5 of GNU automake which seems to be
44 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex incompatible to the build system of ngIRCd. Solution: upgrade to at least
45 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex version 1.6 of GNU automake.
46 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex (If you are using Debian 3.0 "Woody" you can try to downgrade to version
47 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex 1.4 of GNU automake shipped with this distribution; it should work, too.)
52 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: Is there a list of known bugs and desired feature enhancements?
53 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex A: Yes. Have a look at the bug tracking system (Bugzilla) for ngIRCd located
54 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex at <http://arthur.ath.cx/bugzilla/ngircd/>. There you can file bug reports
55 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex and feature requests as well as search the bug database.
57 a93b4d97 2003-04-05 alex Q: What should I do if I found a bug?
