HOWTO

# uchardet 0.0.8
# ==============
# As I type this, there is no uchardet Slackware package, so the default
# prefix of /usr/local is used below

# If you ever want to uninstall uchardet, as root, remove the files
# listed in ~/src/uchardet-0.0.8/install_manifest.txt

# Get the tarball
cd
test -f installed/uchardet-0.0.8.tar.xz && mv -f uchardet-0.0.8.tar.xz .
test ! -f uchardet-0.0.8.tar.xz &&
wget https://www.freedesktop.org/software/uchardet/releases/\
uchardet-0.0.8.tar.xz

# Verify tarball w/ sha256sum:
echo "e97a60cfc00a1c147a674b097bb1422abd9fa78a2d9ce3f3fdcc2e78a34ac5\
f0 uchardet-0.0.8.tar.xz" | sha256sum -c

# Extract the source
mkdir -p -m 0700 ~/src
cd ~/src
find -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "uchardet-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
tar xJvf ~/uchardet-0.0.8.tar.xz
cd uchardet-0.0.8
test $UID = 0 && chown -R root:root .

# Read ./README.md and ./INSTALL

# If you have a symlink /usr/local/share/man -> /usr/local/man,
# you're fine, if not either create that or use
# -DCMAKE_INSTALL_MANDIR=/usr/local/man

# cmake will figure out lib|lib64 (/usr/local/lib*)

# Configure the build
# Run 'cmake -LH .' for options (-D)
cmake .

# Build it
make

# Become root to install it
su

# Install it
make install
ldconfig

# Become your non-root user again
exit

# Save the source for later
cd
mkdir -p -m 0700 installed
rm -f installed/uchardet-*.tar.*
mv uchardet-0.0.8.tar.xz installed/

# If you ever want to uninstall uchardet, this should do it:
cd
su
test -d src/uchardet-* && ( cd src/uchardet-* ; make uninstall )
rm -f /usr/lib/libuchardet-1.* /usr/lib/pkgconfig/uchardet.pc
test -d /usr/include/uchardet-1.0 && rm -r /usr/include/uchardet-1.0
test -d /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/uchardet && rm -r /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/uchardet
find /usr/share/locale -type f -name uchardet10.mo -exec rm {} \;
ldconfig
exit
find ~/src -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "uchardet-*" -exec rm -r {} \;
rm -f ~/installed/uchardet-*.tar.*
