Jabberd 2.0rc2 setup

I thought it was interesting to try out jabber instant messaging as a means of "corporate communications". I set up a jabber daemon with SSL support.

Required Debian packages

I remember getting these packages before I build the jabberd source:

openssl
libssl-dev
libssl0.9.7
libdb4.2-dev
libdb4.2

Configure settings

#!/bin/sh

CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp" \
./configure \
	--enable-authreg=db --enable-storage=db \
	--enable-debug \
	--with-openssl \
	--with-berkeley-db \
	--prefix=/usr/local/jabberd \
	--sysconfdir=/etc \
	--localstatedir=/var \
	--infodir=/usr/share/info \
	--mandir=/usr/share/man

Installation documentation

The Jabberd 2 Installation and Administration Guide is pretty good at explaining how to build and set up jabberd.
