Checksum32 installation

You can build an executable file implementing the CRC32 algorithm with the following procedure.
  1. Unpack the tarball containing the CRC32 distribution:
        gunzip -c chksum32.tar.gz | tar xvf -   
  2. That will create the chksum32 directory: move to the chksum32/src directory and invoke make:
        cd chksum/src
        make clean all
  3. That will create an executable called crc32. You can invoke that executable to compute the checksum for a file by giving the file's pathname on the commmand line:
        $ ./crc32 crc32.c
    
        Calculating CRC for file: crc32.c
        Read 7883 bytes, CRC32 Checksum is 482575795
