HOWTO

# libx86emu 3.5
# =============
# There is no libx86emu package in Slackware, but there is one in
# SlackBuilds

# If you ever want to remove libx86emu or clean up files from previous
# versions before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom

# This library is used by hwinfo

# Get the tarball
cd
test -f installed/libx86emu-3.5.tar.gz &&
mv -f installed/libx86emu-3.5.tar.gz .
test ! -f libx86emu-3.5.tar.gz &&
wget -O libx86emu-3.5.tar.gz \
  https://github.com/wfeldt/libx86emu/archive/refs/tags/3.5.tar.gz

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "libx86emu-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xzvf ~/libx86emu-3.5.tar.gz
cd libx86emu-3.5
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Read ./README.md

# Tell it what version itself is
echo 3.5 > VERSION

## Build it
# If you use /usr/lib64 it will figure it out by adding the output of:
#   ldd /bin/sh | grep -q /lib64/ && echo 64
# ...to /usr/lib
make shared

# Become root to install it
su

# 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/libx86emu-*.tar.*
mv libx86emu-3.5.tar.gz installed/

# If you ever want to uninstall libx86emu, this should do it:
cd

rm -f /usr/include/x86emu.h \
/usr/lib64/libx86emu.so.3.5 /usr/lib64/libx86emu.so.3 \
  /usr/lib64/libx86emu.so
