Use libusual the simplest way

Simplest usage would be to configure and build libusual locally and point your projects CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS there.

That way you get access to not only code but also various autoconfigued symbols without any complexities in your project.

Build libusual

$ git clone git://github.com/libusual/libusual.git lib
Cloning into 'lib'...
done.
$ cd lib
$ ./autogen.sh
[...]
$ ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/opt
[...]
$ make
[...]
$ make install DESTDIR=`pwd`/../inst
[...]
$ cd ..

Build our own code

Now we prepare our own code.

First, this is the source file:

File: prog.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <usual/hashing/crc32.h>

int main(void)
{
        const char *data = "CECSFXX";
        uint32_t crc;

        crc = calc_crc32(data, strlen(data), 0);
        printf("crc: %08x\n", crc);
        return 0;
}

Here is corresponding Makefile:

File: Makefile

# here we describe our program
SRCS = prog.c
OBJS = $(SRCS:.c=.o)

# here we link to libusual
CPPFLAGS = -I./inst/opt/include
LDFLAGS = -L./inst/opt/lib
LIBS = -lusual

CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -O -g -Wall

all: prog

prog: $(OBJS)
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(LIBS) -o $@

Build the project

$ make
gcc -O -g -Wall -I./inst/opt/include  -c -o prog.o prog.c
gcc -O -g -Wall -L./inst/opt/lib prog.o -lusual -o prog
$ ls
Makefile  inst  lib  prog  prog.c  prog.o
$ ./prog
crc: 12345678

Done!
