# Prerequisites:

cd
test -f installed/check-0.15.2.tar.gz &&
mv -f installed/check-0.15.2.tar.gz .

wget https://github.com/libcheck/check/releases/download/0.15.2/\
check-0.15.2.tar.gz

# Extract the source
# NOTE: Maybe look in ~/src first because "check-*" is pretty generic...
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "check-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/check-0.15.2.tar.gz
cd check-0.15.2
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Even when specifying --docdir it will still use /usr/share/doc/check
# If you do not have a /usr/share/doc -> /usr/doc symlink, you can
# add " docdir=/usr/doc/check" when running make to override that

# Configure the build for 64-bit
test $(uname -m) = 'x86_64' &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/doc/libcheck --infodir=/usr/info \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --mandir=/usr/man --enable-static=no

# Configure the build for anything else
test $(uname -m) != 'x86_64' &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/doc/libcheck --infodir=/usr/info \
--mandir=/usr/man --enable-static=no

# Build it
make

# Check the build
make check

# Become root to install it
su

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

# Install it
make install
ldconfig

# Become your non-root user again
exit

# Save the tarball for later
cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/check-*.tar.*
mv check-0.15.2.tar.gz installed/

# If you ever want to uninstall Check, this should do it:
cd
su
test -d src/check-* && ( cd src/check-* ; make uninstall )
test -d /usr/doc/check/ && rm -r /usr/doc/check
( cd /usr/include
rm -f check.h check_stdint.h )
