Hi, I recently installed eggdrop on mac os x via fink, but I have no idea how to run it from the terminal. Any ideas?

has the idea of running it as you would run it under any other OS (sans Windows) crossed your mind?

Um ???? Mac os x is way different from windows. Fink compiled it from your site, and I have to run it by command line but I dont know the commands for it. Is there any eggdrop mac users here??? Plz only post if you have any useful things to add -_-.

dude, a handful of people here have tried to lecture me on how & what to post, but to date noone had done that in their second post - except you, that is

if you are clueless about the command line, eggdrop is not for you

well, simply read carefully through help sections on this site and follow the detailed instructions; I can assure you there is nothing Mac-specific you need to run eggdrop under OS X

demond is correct

create proper conf file (read the docs), name it bot.conf
start bot with:
./eggdrop bot.conf
in ~/eggdrop directory

it works like any other eggdrop installation
make sure you have tcl installed also

No I am joking and have no knowledge on how to do it from a directory or where to do it from.

1. Type './configure' from the Eggdrop directory. Some of the options
that can be given to ./configure are explained below.

What is the eggdrop directory and how do I ./configure from it. I have searched around and there is no begginer steps on how to do it.

Alright I read up on it and I compiled it from the compile guide, but now just a few questions. I got to this part;

D. Mac OS X
Follow the standard compile process in Section A. To compile dynamically
(with module support), use 'make eggdrop' instead of 'make'.

So I did that and now I am not sure what to do...because after that theres all of this:

To get third-party modules to compile, you may need to edit the module's
Makefile and add "$(XLIBS) $(MODULE_XLIBS)" to the end of the
../../../MODULE.$(MOD_EXT) target's $(LD) line.

For example:

../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT): ../mymodule.o
$(LD) -o ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT) ../mymodule.o
$(STRIP) ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT)

Would become:

../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT): ../mymodule.o
$(LD) -o ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT) ../mymodule.o $(XLIBS) $(MODULE_XLIBS)
$(STRIP) ../../../mymodule.$(MOD_EXT)

If you notice a module that requires these changes, it would probably be
a good idea to let the module's developer know, so it can be fixed.

Note that on Mac OS X, the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable should
be used instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

And I am not sure what third party modules means and if I really need it since I am just begginer. But anyways after doing make eggdrop, it told me to do make clean first which I did, then I did make eggdrop again...and then after that I got some erros and not sure if they are acctual errors and what I should do:

ld: Undefined symbols:
_fprintf$LDBLStub
_sprintf$LDBLStub
make[2]: *** [../../../channels.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** [channels.mod_so] Error 2
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Because do I acctually need to do the make eggdrop part? Or do I have to since I am on Mac OS X. kthx!

Third party modules are those that are not supplied with the eggdrop source; those that you download yourself and compile like the gseen module.
