But if you want only some simple checksum for the string use just bitwise
xor function(operator)
or just adding with +:

char* mystring="blebleble";
char checksum=0;
int i;
for (i=0;i<strlen(mystring);i++)
 checksum=checksum^mystring[i];

(im not sure if there's ^= operator, may be "checksum^=mystring[i] is
enough)
