Modules:Usage:Compiling

From Anope Wiki

So you've downloaded a module and would like to compile it? Read on..

First make sure you have the source distribution of Anope already unpacked and configured.

• Copy the modules .c file to the src/modules directory.
• Open up the file in your favorite text editor and check it for compile-time configuration options. Another good idea is to read the comments in the file, they may provide how to use the module.
• cd back to the anope root directory
• Then run make modules.

If the module was successfully compiled, there will be a .so in the modules folder, and you can issue make install.

If not the cause could be:

• Poor coding
• Missing dependencies
• Incorrect information when you initially ran ./Config
• Unconfigured compile-time configuration options

Try talking to the modules author.

If all goes well, all you have left to do is load the module from OperServ.
