ATTENTION

UnrealIRCd MUST be compiled/recompiled with libmaxminddb support. To do so, go to UnrealIRCd source folder, type ./Config and answer libmaxminddb when you see the following:

GeoIP is a feature that allows converting an IP address to a location (country)
Possible build options:
     classic: This is the DEFAULT geoip engine. It should work on all systems
              and receives automatic updates.
libmaxminddb: This uses the libmaxminddb library. If you want to use this, then
              you need to install the libmaxminddb library on your system first
        none: Don't build with any geoip library (geoip-csv is still built)
Choose one of: classic, libmaxminddb, none
[classic] ->

Then, just do the usual make followed by make install and follow the instructions below.
