  INSTALL


  This is a very simple instruction for configuring, compiling and
  installing the ircproxy. For more detailed instruction please
  visit "www.ircproxy.night-light.net".

  This package is source code only, this means that you need to compile it
  before you can use it. It is easy since it is done with makefiles and
  scripts.


  *** Extracting

   First you need to extract the package, this is done with the following
   command (where X.X.X is the version number):

   1. gunzip -c ircproxy-X.X.X.tar.gz | tar xvf -


  *** Compilation

     Compilation of ircproxy is done in two steps explained below.

  1. Run "./configure" to setup the system header
     file "config/config.h".

     Specify where you want to install the ircproxy
     with the --prefix= . For example: --prefix=/usr/local or
     --prefix=/home/jonas

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

     This is a standard GNU configure script that will examine
     your system. You can also use the following configuration options:


     --disable-assert        Disable assertions
     --disable-ares          Disable ares, this means trouble!
     --disable-ipv6          Disable IPv6 support
     --disable-ssl           Disable SSL support
     --enable-win32          Enable independent win32 support
     --disable-memdebug      Disable memory debugging
     --disable-fddebug       Disable file descriptor debugging
     --enable-identd         Enable the internal ident daemon
     --enable-debug          Enable debugging



  2. Run "make" to compile the ircproxy, type:

    "make"


  *** Installation

  1. Run "make install" to install the ircproxy, type:

    "make install"



  *** Configuring

  1. Edit "ircproxyd.conf", "ircproxyd-access.conf", "ircproxyd-listen.conf",
     "ircproxyd-user.conf" and "ircproxyd-conn.conf" which can be found in the data
     directory where you installed the proxy.
     Usually this is /home/user/.ircproxy or /usr/share/ircproxy.

     Each configuration file has its help on the top over each file in comments '#'.
     Read the comments carefully before you change anything.

     If you choose to use "ircproxy-user.conf" with encrypted
     passwords. You need to encrypt your passwords usingh the imkpasswd utility,
     it is installed in the same directory as the ircproxy binary.

     mkpasswd


  There is a public forum at http://forum.night-light.net/ where you can get help and
  send your feedback.


  Have fun :)
