TITLE
Dancer - an IRC (ro)bot.
DESCRIPTION
Your best friend. Your main channel service provider. Your fighter
for piece and freedom. It's a program. It's a machine. It's lovely.
We did it for you.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
* One of the following Operating Systems
SYSV: Solaris 2
IRIX
HPUX (v9 and v10)
Digital Unix (4.0)
AIX (4.1.4)
BSD: SunOS 4
NetBSD
FreeBSD
Misc: Linux
Ultrix
Amiga: AmigaOS
Win32: NT (see the win32/ directory for details)
* A C-compiler (preferably GNU C-compiler gcc)
* A Make program (preferably GNU Make)
INSTALLATION
To compile dancer do the following. The '>' letter represents
a Unix shell prompt.
1. Compile with "make"
> make
(The first time this is done, the machine configuration is scanned
and files are setup accordingly. To do nothing but the configuration,
enter 'make configure'.)
Before running you must configure the bot.
2. Invoke the installer script and fill in the answers
> make install
If successful jump to 4.
If that isn't working for some reason, try the manual install
procedure:
3a. Copy the files from the 'examples' directory and
edit them to suit your needs.
> cp examples/* .
3b. Invoke 'dancer config >dancer.config' to generate a
decent template to start with!
3c. Edit 'dancer.config' to suit your needs
3d. Edit 'dancer.users' to contain your entry
3e. Edit 'launch.sh' to contain the correct path
And then run it.
4. Start the bot with the 'launch' script
> launch.sh
