HOWTO

# nghttp3 1.2.0
# =============
# Currently, there is no nghttp3 Slackware package
# So below I use the default prefix (/usr/local)

# You probably need GCC >= 6 to compile it (without --enable-lib-only)

# Prerequisites for library only (--enable-lib-only):
# pkg-config >= 0.20

# GitHub Releases: nghttp3 v1.2.0
# nghttp3 documentation (programmer/API documentation)
# RFC 9114
# RFC 9204

# Get the source tarball
cd
test -f installed/nghttp3-1.2.0.tar.xz &&
mv -f installed/nghttp3-1.2.0.tar.xz .
test ! -f nghttp3-1.2.0.tar.xz &&
wget https://github.com/ngtcp2/nghttp3/releases/download/v1.2.0/\
nghttp3-1.2.0.tar.xz

# Verify tarball w/ sha256sum:
echo "d2e216bae7bd7362f850922e4237a5caa204853b3594b22adccab4c1e1c1d1\
aa  nghttp3-1.2.0.tar.xz" | sha256sum -c

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "nghttp2-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xJvf ~/nghttp3-1.2.0.tar.xz
cd nghttp3-1.2.0
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Leave off --enable-lib-only if you want to build the examples

# Configure the library only build - 64-bit
test $(uname -m) = 'x86_64' &&
./configure --enable-lib-only --disable-static \
--libdir=/usr/local/lib64 \
--docdir=/usr/local/doc/nghttp3

# Configure the library only build - anything else
test $(uname -m) != 'x86_64' &&
./configure --enable-lib-only --disable-static \
--docdir=/usr/local/doc/nghttp3

# Build it
make

# Check the build
make check

# Become root to install it
su

# Install it
make install
ldconfig

# You may find, if upgrading, that you have old shared library files in
# /usr/lib*/ or /usr/local/lib*/ (whichever prefix you used).  Run lsof to
# see if anything currently running is using one of them.  If you care and
# are _sure_they're_not_in_use_, zap them and re-run ldconfig.

# Become your non-root user again
exit

# Save the tarball for later
cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/nghttp2-*.tar.*
mv nghttp3-1.2.0.tar.xz installed/

# If you ever want to uninstall nghttp3, this should do it:
# (use /usr if you used --prefix=/usr, rather than /usr/local)
