<p>This guide may help you successfully compile Eggdrop. Suggestions are by
various contributors. If you think something should be added, please send
an e-mail to <a href="mailto:bugs@eggheads.org">bugs@eggheads.org</a>. Note
that in this document, text between a '<' and a '>'
should be replaced (without the '<' and '>').</p>
<p>NOTE: This is not a 'quick install' guide. See the INSTALL file
for basic setup information. This is intended to help you compile the bot
on uncommon operating systems, or work past problems encountered during
compile.</p>

<p><strong>Compile Guide</strong></p>
<p>This will tell you how to compile Eggdrop on various operating systems.
If you have gotten Eggdrop to compile on an operating system not listed
here, please let the development team know how, at
<a href="mailto:eggdev@eggheads.org">eggdev@eggheads.org</a>.
Please tell us what, if any, special steps were required to compile the
bot. Also, any compiler warnings/etc, and the 'config.log' and
'config.h' files would be helpful. The development team does not
have access to the resources needed to test portability on uncommon
operating systems, so your help is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p><a name="cg1">A. <strong>Standard compile process (32-bit Linux,
FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.)</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Type './configure' from the Eggdrop directory. Some of the
options that can be given to ./configure are explained below.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>--enable-strip</strong><br>
If you want to create a smaller binary, you can use this option.
HOWEVER, this will remove debugging symbols and make bug reports
almost completely useless, and is not recommended. If disk space
is very limited, however, it might help to enable this.<br><br></li>
<li><strong>--disable-tcl-threads</strong><br>
This disables support for Tcl threads.<br><br></li>
<li><strong>--with-tcllib</strong></li>
<li><strong>--with-tclinc</strong><br>
See <a href="#cg5">E. Tcl Detection and Installation</a> below (at
the end of this compile guide).</li>
</ul>
<br>
</li>
<li>Type either 'make config', or 'make iconfig' to
determine which modules will be compiled.<br><br></li>
<li>Type 'make' from the Eggdrop directory, or to force a
statically linked module bot, type 'make static'. Otherwise,
the Makefile will use whatever type of compile the configure script
determined your system will support. Dynamic is always the better way
to go if possible. You can force a dynamic build with 'make
eggdrop'. There are also the 'debug' and 'sdebug'
(static-debug) options, which will give more detailed output on a
crash. This will help the development team track down the crash and
fix the bug. Debug and sdebug will take a little longer to compile
and will enlarge the binary a bit, but it's worth it if you want to
support Eggdrop development.<br><br></li>
<li>Eggdrop must be installed in a directory somewhere. This is
accomplished by typing 'make install'.<br><br>
This will install the Eggdrop in your home directory in a directory
called 'eggdrop' (i.e. /home/user/eggdrop).<br><br>
If you want to install to a different directory, use:
<blockquote>
<pre>
make install DEST=<directory>
</pre>
</blockquote>
For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
make install DEST=/home/user/otherdir
</pre>
</blockquote>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="cg2">B. <strong>HP-UX B.11.*</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Follow the standard compile process in <a href="#cg1">Section A</a>.
To compile dynamically (with module support), use 'make eggdrop'
instead of 'make'.</p>
<p>During a linking in a dynamic build, you may experience an error
such as:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
gcc -pipe -fPIC -shared -o ../eggdrop bg.o botcmd.o botmsg.o botnet.o
chanprog.o cmds.o dcc.o dccutil.o dns.o flags.o language.o match.o

/usr/ccs/bin/ld: DP relative code in file bg.o - shared library must be
position independent. Use +z or +Z to recompile.
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error exit code 1
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>If you know the cause of this error, please contact the Eggheads
Development Team at <a href="mailto:eggdev@eggheads.org">
eggdev@eggheads.org</a>.</p>
<p>Note that on HP-UX, the SHLIB_PATH environment variable should be used
instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="cg3">C. <strong>Ultrix</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>There are some known problems with 'make' and Eggdrop on
Ultrix systems. We recomend using 'gmake' (GNU make) for this
reason, as in the steps below.</p>
<p>If your system does not have 'gmake', you can download it
from:</p>
<blockquote>http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/</blockquote>
<p>It can be installed in your home directory, as with Tcl, but that is
beyond the scope of this document. Read the INSTALL file that comes with
gmake.</p>
<p>Following these steps should work:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Depending on what shell your using:<br><br>
bash/ksh:
<blockquote>
<pre>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
</pre>
</blockquote>
csh/tcsh/tclsh:
<blockquote>
<pre>
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Run the following command from your Eggdrop compilation directory
(this is all one command):
<blockquote>
<pre>
sh5 ./configure --with-tclinc='<full path to tcl.h>' --with-tcllib='<full path to Tcl library>'
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Type 'gmake config' or 'gmake iconfig' to
configure modules.<br><br></li>
<li>Type 'gmake'. If you experience problems during linking,
or while building modules, try using 'gmake static', for a
static build, instead.<br><br></li>
<li>To install Eggdrop, type 'gmake install'.<br><br>
This will install the Eggdrop in your home directory in a directory
called 'eggdrop' (i.e. /home/user/eggdrop).<br><br>
If you want to install to a different directory, use:
<blockquote>
<pre>
gmake install DEST='directory'
</pre>
</blockquote>
For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
gmake install DEST=/home/user/otherdir
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="cg4">D. <strong>Mac OS X</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Follow the standard compile process in <a href="#cg1">Section A</a>.
To compile dynamically (with module support), use 'make eggdrop'
instead of 'make'.</p>
<p>To get third-party modules to compile, you may need to edit the
module's Makefile and add "$(XLIBS) $(MODULE_XLIBS)" to the
end of the ../../../MODULE.$(MOD_EXT) target's $(LD) line.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT): ../mymodule.o
$(LD) -o ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT) ../mymodule.o
$(STRIP) ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT)
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Would become:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT): ../mymodule.o
$(LD) -o ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT) ../mymodule.o $(XLIBS) $(MODULE_XLIBS)
$(STRIP) ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT)
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>If you notice a module that requires these changes, it would probably
be a good idea to let the module's developer know, so it can be fixed.</p>
<p>Note that on Mac OS X, the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
should be used instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="cg5">E. <strong>AIX</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Follow the standard compile process in <a href="#cg1">Section A</a>.
To compile dynamically (with module support), use 'make eggdrop'
instead of 'make'.</p>
<p>Note that on AIX, the LIBPATH environment variable should be used
instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="cg6">F. <strong>IRIX</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Follow the standard compile process in <a href="#cg1">Section A</a>.
To compile dynamically (with module support), use 'make eggdrop'

<p>Note that on IRIX, the LD_LIBRARYN32_PATH and LD_LIBRARY64_PATH
environment variables should be used instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.</p>

<p>Note that on Solaris / SunOS, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 environment variables may need to be set instead of
(or in addition to, to be safe) LD_LIBRARY_PATH.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="cg8">H. <strong>Cygwin / Windows</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>To compile and install Eggdrop on windows, preform the steps listed
below.</p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Download and install Cygwin
(<a href="http://www.cygwin.com">http://www.cygwin.com</a>). Make
sure to install things like <strong>GCC, zlib, minires, autoconf, and
automake</strong>. <strong>DO NOT</strong> install the Tcl provided
by Cygwin's installer. After installing, open the Cygwin bash
prompt.<br><br></li>
<li>Download and install TCL 8.4.1. You can get Tcl for Cygwin at
<a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/windrop/tcl-8.4.1.tar.gz">
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/windrop/tcl-8.4.1.tar.gz</a>.
Extract this to the Cygwin root directory:
<blockquote>
<pre>
cd /
tar -zxf tcl-8.4.1.tar.gz
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Download Eggdrop from <a href="www.geteggdrop.com">
www.geteggdrop.com</a> to your home directory. This is usually
something like 'C:\cygwin\home\<username>\'. After
downloading, extract the Eggdrop tarball:
<blockquote>
<pre>
tar -zxf eggdrop1.6.19.tar.gz
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Run './configure --enable-strip'. Debugging information
under Windows is basically useless to the development team, and thi
will reduce the size of your Eggdrop binary.<br><br></li>
<li>Type either 'make config', or 'make iconfig' to
determine which modules will be compiled.<br><br></li>
<li>Compile the bot using 'make eggdrop'.<br><br></li>
<li>Install the bot by typing 'make install DEST=<install
path>'.<br><br>
For example:
<blockquote>
<pre>
make install DEST='C:/eggdrop/'
</pre>
</blockquote>
Make sure to enclose the destination directory/folder in single
quotes (''), especially if it contains spaces.<br><br></li>
<li>Preform the following commands:
<blockquote>
<pre>
cd 'C:/<install path>/' (example: cd 'C:/eggdrop')
rm modules
rm eggdrop.exe
mv eggdrop.exe-1.6.19 eggdrop.exe
mv modules-1.6.19 modules
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Create a 'lib' directory and copy needed libraries using
the following commands. This assumes that you installed your Eggdrop
in 'C:\eggdrop'. If you chose a different installation path,
replace 'C:/eggdrop' in the following steps with your
installation directory, replacing all '\'s with
'/'s.
<blockquote>
<pre>
cp /bin/cygwin1.dll 'C:/eggdrop'
cp /usr/local/bin/tcl84.dll 'C:/eggdrop'
cp /usr/local/bin/tclpip84.dll 'C:/eggdrop'
mkdir C:/eggdrop/lib
cp -r /usr/local/lib/dde1.2 'C:/eggdrop/lib'
cp -r /usr/local/lib/reg1.1 'C:/eggdrop/lib'
cp -r /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 'C:/eggdrop/lib'
cp /bin/cygz.dll 'C:/eggdrop' (if you selected compress.mod)
cp /bin/cygminires.dll 'C:/eggdrop' (if you selected dns.mod)
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="cg9">I. <strong>Tcl Detection and Installation</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>If ./configure does not correctly detect the location of your Tcl
library and header file, or if you experience errors related to Tcl
during linking, preform these steps:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Depending on what shell your using:<br><br>
bash/ksh:
<blockquote>
<pre>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
</pre>
</blockquote>
csh/tcsh/tclsh:
<blockquote>
<pre>
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <path to DIRECTORY containing Tcl library>:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
</pre>
</blockquote>
Note that some OS;'s use a different environment variable to tell
ld where to look for a library. See the notes for your specific OS
above (if applicable).<br><br></li>
<li>Run the following command from your Eggdrop compilation directory
(this is all one command):<br><br>
<blockquote>
<pre>
./configure --with-tclinc='<full path to tcl.h>' --with-tcllib='<full path to Tcl library>'
</pre>
</blockquote></li>
<li>Continue compiling the bot as outlined in <a href="#cg1">Section
A</a>, starting with 'make config'.<br><br></li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>If you do not have Tcl installed on your system, you can compile it in
your /home directory. Download Tcl from Tcl's SourceForge project page
at <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/">
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/</a>, or from ActiveState at
<a href="ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/">
ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/tcl8_4/</a>. Read Tcl's README file
for help with compiling and installing it. After you compile Tcl, follow
the steps above to allow Eggdrop to detect Tcl.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="faq1">1. <strong>I get lots of warnings.</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Warnings do not necessarily mean anything bad. As long as the compile
completes, there is really nothing to worry about. Generally, we try to
avoid warnings. We try to fix the warnings we are aware of. If you
experience warnings, you can let us know by e-mailing
<a href="mailto:bugs@eggheads.org">bugs@eggheads.org</a>. If you feel
like fixing them yourself, please do so and send us a patch (as described
in <a href="patch-howto.html">Patch Howto</a>). Thanks.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a name="faq2">2. <strong>I get a 'strip terminated with signal
6' error during compile/install.</strong></a></p>
<blockquote>
<pre>

<p>The configure script didn't detect that this particular system
had dirent.h and sys/dir.h. The solution is to add -DHAVE_DIRENT_H
-DHAVE_SYS_DIR_H to the Makefile's CFLGS line:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>
CFLGS = -DHAVE_DIRENT_H -DHAVE_SYS_DIR_H

<p>Again, this seems that one of configure's components (sed, awk,

<p>This seems to be caused by a few libraries not being detected by the
