# Argon2 20190702
# ===============
# As this is written, a Slackware package is available for Slackware-current,
# but no previous release

# Get the source
cd
test -f installed/argon2-20190702.tar.gz &&
mv -f installed/argon2-20190702.tar.gz .
test ! -f argon2-20190702.tar.gz &&

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "phc-winner-argon2-*" -exec rm -r {} \;

# Build it for 64-bit with /usr/lib64
# You have to specify LIBRARY_REL here due to the generated libargon2.pc

# Build it for anything else
test $(uname -m) != 'x86_64' && make
