# Brotli 1.1.0
# ============
# Slackware 15.0: brotli 1.0.9

# GitHub v1.1.0 release page

# If you ever want to uninstall Brotli, go in to the source
# directory, then out, then become root and remove everything
# listed in install_manifest.txt (and the source and tarball)

# Prerequisites:
# CMake

# Get the source
cd
test -f installed/brotli-1.1.0.tar.gz &&
mv -f installed/brotli-1.1.0.tar.gz .
test ! -f brotli-1.1.0.tar.gz &&
wget -O brotli-1.1.0.tar.gz \
https://github.com/google/brotli/archive/refs/tags/v1.1.0.tar.gz

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -type d -maxdepth 1 -name "brotli-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/brotli-1.1.0.tar.gz
cd brotli-1.1.0
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Create a build directory
mkdir out
cd out

# See ../CMakeLists.txt for other build options

# Configure the build for 64-bit:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 ..

# Configure the build for anything else:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

# Build it
make

# Test the build
make test

# Become root to install it
su

# Remove the Slackware package, if there is one
test -x /sbin/removepkg && /sbin/removepkg brotli

# Install Brotli
make install
ldconfig

# To uninstall this source-installed version of Brotli, refer to
# the list of every installed file: install_manifest.txt

# Become your non-root user again
exit

# Save the source for later
cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/brotli-*.tar.*
