Compilation and Installation
To configure, compile and install Smb4K 0.10.x and above follow the steps below. Make sure, you have read the Requirements page before you start.
Download the version of Smb4K you are interested in and extract the source tarball:
$ tar xvfj smb4k-x.y.z.tar.bz2
Replace x.y.z with the version number. Change into the source code directory and create a build directory:
$ cd smb4k-x.y.z
$ mkdir build
Change into the build directory and configure the source:
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
If you want to compile Smb4K with debug symbols, replace Release by Debug. Since version 1.0.0, you can install the header files by setting the -DINSTALL_HEADER_FILES=yes argument.
Now compile and install Smb4K:
$ make && sudo make install
If you want to be able to remove Smb4K with your package manager later on, use checkinstall instead of make install. The package should be present in your distribution's repository:
$ make && sudo checkinstall
