System Requirements
From the makers of InspIRCd.
To compile and run InspIRCd, the following software and hardware is recommended:
- An operating system listed on our list of Supported Operating Systems
- GCC 3.x or above compiler
- Perl 5.6 or above for configure and launcher scripts
- A modern, up-to-date system with at least 300mb RAM and a 750mhz CPU if you intend to run other programs too (unless you're a total cheapskate, this should not be an issue)
- At least 85mb of free disk space to build InspIRCd and install it, more during runtime depending on how much logging you set your ircd to do.
| Notes
|
| It is possible to get InspIRCd running on lower spec systems than listed here, however this is unsupported. If you are running on an ancient system, we will not be able to assist you if you have problems.
When we say gcc 2.x will not work, we mean it. There won't be any compatibilty for 2.x now or in the future as it is no longer maintained by the GCC team and we can't get support for it! This means all you FreeBSD 4 users who are unwilling or unable to upgrade from your OS (which may i remind you is now 3 years out of date!) will have to upgrade gcc to version 3, and upgrade perl. Both of these can be done in a 'slotted' manner, alongside your current gcc 2 and perl 5.005, without breaking anything. Before anyone asks "but other ircds compile with my ancient gcc", remember: those ircds arent written in C++, theyre written in C, and proper C++ support in gcc only really became usable at the 3.0 release. |
