HOWTO

# libpaper 2.2.5
# ==============
# Prerequisites:
# Perl
# help2man

# Below I use the default prefix of /usr/local
# If a Slackware package is added for libpaper in the future, I
# may change it to /usr
#
# ...actually, there seems to be a libpaper package in slackware64-current

# GitHub: Release v2.2.5
# SlackBuilds.org: libpaper
# Beyond Linux from Scratch: libpaper-2.2.5

# Get the source tarball
cd
test -f installed/libpaper-2.2.5.tar.gz &&
mv -f installed/libpaper-2.2.5.tar.gz .
test ! -f libpaper-2.2.5.tar.gz &&
wget https://github.com/rrthomas/libpaper/releases/download/v2.2.5/libpaper-2.2.5.tar.gz

# md5sum from me, which matches Linux from Scratch and SlackBuilds:
# 4b914c3ca6d8277260fce418e12bae6b

# Verify tarball w/ sha256sum:
echo "7be50974ce0df0c74e7587f10b04272cd53fd675cb6a1273ae1cc5c9cc9cab\
09  libpaper-2.2.5.tar.gz" | sha256sum -c

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "libpaper-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/libpaper-2.2.5.tar.gz
cd libpaper-2.2.5
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# --enable-relocatable is required for 'make check' to work

# Configure the build for 64-bit

# Run 'paper' to see what it thinks your default paper size is
# Run 'paper --all' to see a list (from /usr/local/etc/paperspecs)
# See 'man paper' for information about changing it

# There does not appear to be a man page for the deprecated 'paperconf'.
# Though usage is output if you use an invalid option (such as the typical
# '--help'), the options are listed, but not defined.  Look in
# src/paperconf.c at the switch/case part around line 111 for an idea.

# Become your non-root user again
exit

# This is like 'make check' but using the installed libpaper
make installcheck

# Save the tarball for later
cd

# If you ever want to uninstall libpaper, this should do it:
# ('make uninstall' as root from the source directory should do it,
#  the rest is if you don't have configured source any more)
