test ! -f libdeflate-1.19.tar.gz &&
wget https://github.com/ebiggers/libdeflate/releases/download/\
v1.19/libdeflate-1.19.tar.gz

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src

tar xzvf ~/libdeflate-1.19.tar.gz
cd libdeflate-1.19
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Create a build directory (or just use -B build)
mkdir build
cd build

# Configure the build for 64-bit
test $(uname -m) = 'x86_64' &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib64 \
  -DLIBDEFLATE_BUILD_STATIC_LIB=OFF ..
