ngIRCd For Mac

ngIRCd (Next Generation IRC Daemon) is a portable and open source IRC daemon written from scratch.

ngIRCd is very easy to configure, supports server links (even with original ircds) and is capable of running on hosts with changing IP addresses (such as dial-in networks).

Why should you use ngIRCd? Because ... · there are no problems with servers on changing or non-static IP addresses. · there is a small and lean configuration file. · there is a free, modern and open source C source code. · it is still under active development.

ngIRCd is tested on a regular basis on the following platform (version numbers used in parenthesis). These are the officially supported systems: · Mac OS X (10.x, GNU C 2.95.x/3.x) · AIX (3.2.5, IBM XL C Compiler) · A/UX (3.x, original Apple C Compiler or GNU C) · FreeBSD (4.5/i386, GNU C) · HP-UX (10.20, GNU C) · HP-UX (9.10/m68k, HP-UX cc) · IRIX (6.5, SGI MIPSpro C 7.30) · Linux (2.2.x/i386, 2.4.x/i386 and 2.4.x/hppa, GNU C) · NetBSD (1.5.2/i386 and 1.5.3/m68k, GNU C) · OpenBSD (3.4/i386) · Solaris (2.5.1 and 2.6, GNU C) · Windows with Cygwin (GNU C)

As ngIRCd relies on UNIX standards and uses GNU automake and GNU autoconf there are good chances that it also supports UNIX-based operating systems.
