This is a collection of high-performance and scalable event-driven servers (notably tac_plus-ng, tac_plus, ftpd, tcprelay). Please have a look at the documentation for configuration details.

This software suite should compile quite fine on a variety of platforms, e.g. current versions of Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, Darwin, Linux and Cygwin. See the comments at the beginning of
misc/sysconf.h
for a somewhat comprehensive list.
Unless you're trying to install the software on an unsupported system, there shouldn't be any need to mess with the makefiles. If you do so, you're on your own, and you'll better know what you're doing.
Required tools:
- A supported C compiler, plus linker. LLVM is fine, GCC will work too (but has issues with optimization, so that's disabled for now).
- GNU make (version 3.79.1, unpatched, recommended, others may or may not work).
- Perl
- Various development header files and libraries
Please run "./configure --help". It will output a list of supported options. Then run ./configure with the appropriate arguments. After that, run "make" to start the compilation process and "make install" to install the compiled binaries.
Example:
./configure tac_plus-ng
make
sudo make install
You may actually omit the "configure" step if you're content with the default build options, which are to compile everything and to use all optional features your system supports at first glance.
If you don't care for the optional features (TLS support, C-ARES, others), just run
./configure --minimum tac_plus-ng
make
sudo make install
The distribution comes with documentation located in the top-level "doc" directory.
While I really appreciate that you're using the software I'd very much prefer not to receive private support enquiries.
