        1.1. Compiling and Installation

   Welcome  to  the  GamesServ Manual. This document will aid you in
   setting up and running GamesServ on your IRC network.

   GamesServ is a Game Service, for multiple small games.

1. Prerequisites and Installation.

   GamesServ is designed to run on Top of NeoStats 3.0
   Please  refer  to  the  NeoStats website  for more
   information on the requirements for NeoStats.

   GamesServ requires the following:
     * NeoStats 3.0 or Higher correctly installed and Running
     * The time to read this entire document.


1.1. Compiling and Installation

   As  long  as  you  have  successfully setup NeoStats, and installed it
   correctly,  Compiling  GamesServ is very simple and straight forward. First
   you  must  extract  the  files  from  the download package. This is as
   simple as:
bash$ tar -xzf GamesServ-<ver>.tar.gz

   This  should  then  create  a  directory  called  GamesServ-<version>
   where <version> is the Version of GamesServ. Then Proceed to Change
   into the GamesServ directory, and run Configure as follows:
bash$./configure [--with-neostats=<dir>]

   --with-neostats=<dir> should be used if your neostats directory is not
   in a standard location (~/NeoStats3.0/). Replace <dir> with the full path
   to your NeoStats installation directory (NOT SOURCE DIRECTORY)

   If  the  configuration did not produce a error, you may then move onto
   Compiling  GamesServ.  Compiling  is simply just issuing the "make" command
   (or "gmake" if you are running BSD):

   Again,  check  for  Error  messages.  As  long  as there are not error messages,
   "make install" (or "gmake install" if you are running BSD) will install GamesServ,
   this README file, and any auxiluary files needed into your NeoStats directory:

   Once  Installation  is  complete, you can either configure NeoStats to
   load GamesServ when it starts, or load GamesServ via IRC.

   To  Configure  NeoStats  to automatically load GamesServ when it boots, add
   the  following  line  to  your  "neostats.conf"  file  in  the NeoStats
   directory:

   LOAD_MODULE GamesServ

   To  load  GamesServ  via  IRC,  you must make sure you have the appropriate
   permissions and issue the following command:

   /msg neostats load GamesServ

   Thats  it.  GamesServ  is  now  loaded  and ready for use.
   /msg GamesServ help
