UnrealIRCd Forums

I've tried various approaches on this OpenBSD 3.5 system to build Unreal3.2 release and nothing has worked. Disabled all the extras like SSL and zipped links and still no go:

auth.c:478: `RIPEMD160_DIGEST_LENGTH' undeclared (first use in this function)
auth.c:478: warning: passing arg 1 of `b64_encode' makes pointer from integer without a cast
*** Error code 1

Stop in /home/ircd/Unreal3.2/src (line 109 of Makefile).
*** Error code 1

... I'm not a programmer, so I really don't know what I might be missing. Is my compiler too old or am I missing libraries or something? Any help would be appreciated. I really want to use Unreal for my server!

OpenBSD includes a broken version of OpenSSL. Either don't compile Unreal with SSL support, or download the latest OpenSSL from http://www.openssl.org.

Note, Unreal is NOT compatible with versions of OpenBSD < 3.5, people have claimed it works in 3.5, but we've never tested ourselves.

Okay, that's great! At least now I know there's a precedence for running Unreal on OpenBSD! Now to figure out how they did it

Disabled all the extras like SSL and zipped links and still no go

on obsd 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 compiling definitly works if ssl is disabled.
using ssl fails

on a base 3.5 install it didn't work, but i'll try maybe some day it works


[edit]
k it compiles with a custom openssl0.9.7d installation(i tested on a configuration with no-asm, and install as non overwrite_base so other installs will still depend on the 0.9.7c-patched of the 3.5 std install), dont forget to use /usr/local/ssl as ssl path in 'Config' (when doing it the same way).

Success! We now have a functioning IRC server, using self-installed OpenSSL as well as the curl libraries (thanks to the instructions in INSTALL.REMOTEINC). Thanks so much for the help!
