Installation

Preqrequisites:

• System must have a make utility, awk, sed, a C and C++ compiler (preferably GCC)
• System must have an 'ar' utility
• System must have a mail transport agent that supports the sendmail -T interface.
• Must have installed an IRC server compatible with dal4.4.10 or sor1.3.x.
• Must have installed the 'services helpfiles' package
• Should have the 'services documentation' package
• The system needs to support BSD sockets and signals (currently).

1. Untar the package (where XXX is the version number)

                gunzip services-XXX.tar.gz
                tar xvf services-XXX.tar
   

2. Build the package
   1. cd services
   2. Run configure with appropriate options (see ./configure --help) Example:

                      ./configure --with-cfgpath=/usr/local/lib/services \
                                  --with-help=/usr/local/lib/services/help \
                                  --with-network='sorcery.net' \
                                  --with-klinemail='kline@sorcery.net' \
                                  --with-md5 \
                                  --with-sendmail='/usr/sbin/sendmail -T' \
                                  --disable-grpops
      

   3. Run make
3. Copy the services binary to the configuration directory or hard-link it. Example:

                   ln ./services /usr/local/lib/services/services
   

4. Switch to the config path and make directories for each service and start a new database file each service, example:

                cd /usr/local/lib/services
                mkdir chanserv nickserv memoserv operserv
                echo 'done' > nickserv/nickserv.db
                echo 'done' > chanserv/chanserv.db
                echo 'done' > memoserv/memoserv.db
                echo 'done' > operserv/trigger.db
   

5. Write a services.conf file. Also, an example configuration can be found in `services.conf.example' from the documentation package or in the `docs' directory of a full distribution.
6. Add appropriate matching C and N lines for your services.conf configuration to your IRC server. The C-line and the N-line should be identical. The N-line password should match the W-line in services.conf, and the server name in the C and N-lines should match the H-line in services.conf.
7. Add a U-line to your IRC server's configuration file, the server name in the U-line should match the W-line in services.conf
