How to compile this package:
Its really quite simple -- its about the same difficulty as compiling
any GNU software (however, this is _not_ GNU software)
o Run 'configure' by using one (and only one) of the following:
./configure
sh configure
o By default, 'configure' sets up the software to be run from
/usr/local -- if this is not the case for you (ie, you are not
the superuser compiling for the entire system) you can run
configure with the "--prefix=/path/to/somewhere" flag, for example:
./configure --prefix=/usr/home/jnelson
o This IRC II client can be compiled and run on almost every unix
known to man. It can compile on both an old ("K&R") compiler as
well as a new ("ANSI") compiler. It definitely should work fine
for all reasonable POSIX systems (4.4BSD, SVR4, OSF/2, Linux), and
will probably work on SVR3, 4.2BSD, and even NeXT systems.
o To compile ircii, type 'make' in the main ircii directory. This
will compile the `irc', `ircflush', `ircserv' and `wserv' programs
that live in the `source' subdirectory.
o Once that you are happy with the compilation, you can install them
with `make install'. This will install all the binaries, scripts,
translation tables, man pages, and help files into the path you
specified in the Makefile (or when you ran configure)
o You can now delete the object files and binaries if you want to
save some space by typing `make clean'. If you are sure you probably
wont have to compile again, but you want to keep the source code
around, you can use `make distclean'. You should make distclean
before you try to compile again for a different architecture.
o Bug reports go to ircii@cris.com. Please see the BUG_FORM file for
information about how to file a bug report. Please include as much
information as possible.
