 Smb4K README
 ============
 Smb4K is an advanced network neighborhood browser and Samba share mounting utility. It is based on the KDE Frameworks 5, Samba's client library (libsmbclient) and, optionally, the KDSoap WS-Discovery client. It scans your network neighborhood for all available workgroups, servers and shares and can mount all desired shares to your local file system. It is released under the terms of the [GNU General Public License, version 2 (GPL v2+)](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html).
 
 Linux, FreeBSD and its derivatives (e. g. GhostBSD), NetBSD and DragonFly BSD are officially supported.

 Supported operating systems
 ---------------------------
 Smb4K officially supports Linux, FreeBSD and its derivatives (e. g. GhostBSD), NetBSD and DragonFly BSD.
 
 
 Requirements
 ------------
 To compile Smb4K, you need:
 - CMake (version >= 3.16, https://www.cmake.org)
 - GNU Compiler Collection (version >= 5.0, https://gcc.gnu.org)
   or clang/LLVM (version >= 3.3, https://clang.llvm.org)
 
 Smb4K build depends on:
 - Qt (version >= 5.15.8, https://www.qt.io): QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets,
   QtNetwork, QtPrintSupport, QtQml
 - KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5, version >= 5.103.0, https://www.kde.org): ECM,
   KConfig, KAuth, KDocTools, KIconThemes, KWidgetsAddons, KI18n,

   KJobWidgets, KWallet, KDBusAddons, KConfigWidgets, KWindowSystem,
   KCrash, KDNSSD
 - libsmbclient (version >= 4.10.0, https://www.samba.org)
 
 If you would like to enable WS-Discovery support, you additionally need
 (see also below for required build option):
 - KDSoap (version >= 1.9.0,
   https://www.kdab.com/development-resources/qt-tools/kd-soap/)
 - KDSoap WS-Discovery client (version >= 0.2, 
   https://invent.kde.org/libraries/kdsoap-ws-discovery-client)
 
 It also runtime depends on:

 To enable full functionality, you may also want to install:
 - rsync (https://rsync.samba.org)
 
 The full list of changes can be found in the Git log at 
 https://invent.kde.org/network/smb4k. A summary can be found in the ChangeLog file
 in the tarball.
 
 
 Configuration, Compilation and Installation
 -------------------------------------------
 To configure, compile and install Smb4K follow the steps below. Make sure, you have read the Requirements section before you start.
 
 1. Download the version of Smb4K you are interested in and extract the source tarball:
    ``` bash
    $ tar xvfj smb4k-x.y.z.tar.xz
    ```
 2. Replace x.y.z with the version number. Change into the source code directory:
    ``` bash
    $ cd smb4k-x.y.z
    ```
 3. Configure the source:
    ``` bash
    $ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`qtpaths --install-prefix` \
    -DSMB4K_INSTALL_PLASMOID=ON -DSMB4K_WITH_WS_DISCOVERY=OFF
    ```
    If you want to enable WS-Discovery support, use `-DSMB4K_WITH_WS_DISCOVERY=ON` as argument. To compile Smb4K with debug symbols, replace `Release` by `Debug`. 
 
    There are some Smb4K specific CMake arguments you might be interested in:
    
    | Argument                                                          | Description                                                         |
    |:--------------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------|
    | -DSMB4K_INSTALL_PLASMOID=ON/OFF     | Install the plasmoid. This is on by default.   |
    | -DSMB4K_WITH_WS_DISCOVERY=ON/OFF  | Build with WS-Discovery support for browsing. This is off by default. |
 
 4. After the configuration, compile and install Smb4K:
    ``` bash
    $ cmake --build build
    $ sudo cmake --install build
    ```
    If you want to be able to remove Smb4K with your package manager later on, use the following approaches depending on your distribution:
    
      <u>Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Redhat, Slackware:</u> Use checkinstall instead of make install. The package should be present in your distribution's repository.
       ``` bash
       $ cmake --build build
       $ cd build
       $ sudo checkinstall
       ```
 
      <u>Arch, Manjaro:</u> Create a PKGBUILD file inside the source's root directory and run the following command to install Smb4K.
      ``` bash
      $ makepkg -i
      ```
       
    For all other distributions and operating systems, please have a look at the respective documentation.
 
 
 Debugging the Source Code
 -------------------------
 If you experience crashes or similar and want to debug the source code yourself, compile the source code with debugging symbols. The procedure is similar to the one described in the section above, except that you need to modify the cmake command slightly:
 
 ``` bash
    $ cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`qtpaths --install-prefix` \
    -DSMB4K_INSTALL_PLASMOID=ON -DSMB4K_WITH_WS_DISCOVERY=OFF
 ```
 
 If you found the cause for a bug, please let us know. A backtrace or a patch will be much appreciated.
