10.1. Clients
All popular clients use GNU Autoconf and
GNU Automake, thus come with a configure script.
Read the installation instructions after you unpack the sources. Be sure
you have the required libraries in order to compile. Doing cd
name_of_the_created_directory; ./configure --help;
./configure your_options_here; make; make install
> ~/sources_install.log is the right procedure. Also note that for
ircII, EPIC, and BitchX you should really edit include/config.h to suit
your needs.
