Requirements, Compiling & Installing
MetalServe is being developed under SuSE Linux 7.3 (kernel 2.4.17, glibc 2.2.4, gcc 2.95.3). I try to periodically test on FreeBSD and other platforms as well, but there is probably still a lot of work to do as regards portability issues. If you succeed in getting it running on other Unix platforms (there will be no Win32 support) please drop me a note on what you had to change.
You DO NOT need to install an IRC client or IRC server and you also need neither inetd nor portmapper. MetalServe runs on its own.
You need a reasonable C compiler and make utility. The GNU C compiler (gcc) and GNU make (may exist as "gmake" or just "make" on your system) are recommended.
