updating testsuite to support ssl-tests

Convert INSTALL and README files to Markdown

2020-03-29T20:33:51+00:00

This requires some changes to the build system, for example to comply with the expectations of the GNU autoconf/automake tools ...

Make sure HAVE_LIBSSL is defined, even when using pkg-config

2019-07-01T20:03:47+00:00

Without this, the configure script assumes and states that OpenSSL will be used, but the code won't include support for it because there we use the "HAVE_LIBSSL" define to test for it ("#ifdef HAVE_LIBSSL"). So define the latter when pkg-config(1) is used, too. This fixes #257, a regression introduced by commit ad86a41ee :-/

configure.ng: use pkg-config to find PpenSSL dependencies

2019-04-20T16:50:09+00:00

OpenSSL can depends on lz or latomic so use pkg-config to find those dependencies and fallback to existing mechanism. Signed-off-by: Fabrice Fontaine Closes #256.

Fix building ngIRCd with OpenSSL 1.1

2016-12-05T22:51:07+00:00

At the moment, ngIRCd fails to build against OpenSSL 1.1 since the configure check probes for the SSL_library_init symbol which was removed, but probing for a different function availabe in both versions solves that problem: SSL_new(). And as SSL_library_init is no longer needed, the patch boils down to probing SSL_new to assert libssl is available, and disabling the SSL_library_init invokation from OpenSSL 1.1 on, see also another application[1] (NSCA-ng) that did pretty much the same. Patch was compile-tested on both Debian jessie (OpenSSL 1.0.2) and stretch (OpenSSL 1.1). [1] (Patch by Christoph, commit message cherry-picked from the email thread on the mailing list by Alex. Thanks!)

Make setgroups(3) function optional

2015-06-06T20:19:47+00:00

For example, Interix is missing this function, which prevented ngIRCd to build on this platform. When setgroups(3) isn't available, a warning message is issued when ngIRCd starts up.

configure[.ng]: is a required header file

2014-03-16T23:52:11+00:00

ngIRCd already includes in a lot of places without checking for its existence (for example in "ngircd.c", "io.c", ...), therefore make it a required header file.

configure: Only link "contrib/Debian" if it exists

2014-01-26T22:41:06+00:00

This isn't the case on "VPATH builds", for example.
