Building

To build charybdis, run the following commands from your charybdis source directory:

Note that version 4 requires you to first run autogen.sh

By default, the charybdis binary distribution will be installed into $HOME/ircd. We recommend using this deployment method.

charybdis in Linux/Unix Distributions

Some distributions offer charybdis as a package. These distributions may or may not be shipping the latest version, so if you experience problems we recommend building charybdis from source using the steps listed above. Many bugs are fixed in each new release.
