How to install ircu ircd server?

- First of all we need to download ircu on shell.
To download type: wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ircu/ircu2.10.10.tar.gz?modtime=1067990400&big_mirror=0

- Now we need to untar the downloaded file, for that type: tar -zxvf ircu2.10.10.tar.gz

- Now change directory to ircu2.10.10 by typing: cd ircu2.10.10

- Now type: ./configure

To see the various ways
in which you can customize your installation, run.

type: ./configure --help

The configure process will check your environment and prepare itself for compiling the source code. If one or more of the prerequisites cannot be found, configure will terminate with an error. You will need to resolve this and run configure again.

If configure runs without error(s), you are ready to compile.

- To compile ircu, type: make


- Once ircu is compiled, install it by typing: make install

- Next, you will have to configure your IRC server by setting up your ircd.conf file. Use the included doc/ircd.conf.sample as a starting point. Setting up ircd.conf can be a bit tricky, so if this is your first time doing it, begin with a bare-bones configuration and extend it as you go.

If you are upgrading from ircu2.10.10, use the tools/transition script to convert your existing configuration file(s).

Hope this helps You !!!
