EggDrop

Eggdrop is the most advanced, most popular, and best supported IRC bot. If you’ve never used a bot before, you’ll find Eggdrop provides a staggering array of options for channel management, and can easily be expanded further to provide even more functions. The Eggdrop code is free for anyone to download and use. Some of the main features of Eggdrop include:

• wget https://sisrv.net/files/eggdrop/eggdrop-1.8.4.tar.gz
  
• tar zxvf eggdrop-1.8.4.tar.gz
  
• rm -rf eggdrop-1.8.4.tar.gz
  
• cd eggdrop-1.8.4
  
• ./configure
• make config
• make
• make install or if you want to install in different directory, type make install DEST=/home/user/directory/
  
• cd
• cd eggdrop
• pico eggdrop.conf (or use your favorite file editor)

If the configure doesn’t complete, and you see this error:

configure: configuring Eggdrop 1.8.4
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: Can't find Tcl configuration                                                                              definitions. Use --with-tcl to specify a directory containing tclConfig.sh
sisrv@655:~/eggdrop-1.8.4$ ./configure

That means you are missing tcl package with you can install by typing:

apt-get install tcl-dev

If you see an error like:

Tcl cannot be found on this system.


Eggdrop requires Tcl to compile. If you already have Tcl installed on
this system, and I just wasn’t looking in the right place for it, re-run
./configure using the –with-tcllib=’/path/to/libtcl.so’ and
–with-tclinc=’/path/to/tcl.h’ options.
./configure –with-tclinc=/usr/include/tcl8.6/tcl.h –with-tcllib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl8.6.so

gcc -v
make -v
make config
