# Read README.md

# Create a build directory
mkdir build
cd build

# If you do not have a /usr/local/share/man -> /usr/local/man symlink, or
# have MANPATH set to look in there also, be aware that this defaults to
# using /usr/local/share/man

# If you want to use a smaller non-plugin library, use
# --preset=release-noplugins

# Configure the build
# --preset requires CMake version >= 3.21
cmake --preset=release ..

# Build it
make

# Become root to install it
su

# Install it
make install
ldconfig

# Make sure your non-root user can remove the source later
chown -R $(logname) .
chmod -R u+rwx .

# Become your non-root user again

# Save the tarball for later
