#144 [tracker] need compatible Anope build

[micksam7]

Trying to link anope or unreal with ignitionServer gives a
error on the opposite server. "Read error from server:
Unknown Error: 0" Although, IgnitionServices works fine.

Can you give me a link to Win32 Anope services? I can't seem
to find one anywhere...

As for Unreal, it will never work, because it uses an
entirely different authentication mechanism (it doesn't use
RFC 1459 linking for the most part).

Offical Windows ANOPE binary AND instructions on how to
compile it yourself:
http://certus.anope.org/windows/index.html

And to prevent any miss communication, I did use the
binary. :P

I think that we're going to have to start distributing our
own binaries for Anope. That binary is compiled for Unreal,
and we don't use Unreal's linking (we use RFC 1459). I'll
have to get the Visual C++ 7.0 compiler installed and see if
I can make a RFC 1459 build (although, I'm pretty sure that
a build for hybrid-ircd will also work).

-- this build does not understand RFC 1459 user
introductions (really an extended NICK command; Unreal uses
something completely different)
[Dec 26 22:01:12 2004] help: user record for Ziggy not found

-- this build doesn't detect me, see previous thing
[Dec 26 22:01:53 2004] PANIC! buffer = :Ziggy NICK :anope
-- this build doesn't understand RFC 1459 nickname changes

I'll have to hack around at this. I'm guessing the only
reason there's only an Unreal build is because Unreal is the
only IRCD that runs on Windows. If I can make Anope work
excellently (even if it's my own build or fork), it'll
replace ignitionServices. ignitionServices is horrible and
needs to be gotten rid of.

Turning this into a tracker bug.

Oh, thanks! That'll be great if it replaces ignitionServices. I'd
love to see what you come up with. :) (And if you can get it
to use nickserv and chanserv profiles like ignitionServices,
that'll be awsome!) Good luck!

Well, I'll probably not screw with their database any.
Although I will probably make an editor if Anope's database
allows.
