GSoC Milestone 1 Testing -- Windows Toast Notification backend for KNotifications

snore-ftw.md

NOTE : This will not be fruitful for packaging Win-notification enabled build of KDE Connect for Windows. There are lots of patches under review for that.

install Python 3.7

https://www.python.org/downloads/

init setup for Craft build system

https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect/Build_Windows

set Craft to build deps and knotifs from master

craft --set version=master kde/frameworks/tier3
craft --set version=master snoretoast
craft --set branch=brute4s99/snore-withactions knotifications

install knotifications and snoretoast from master

craft -i knotifications

craft -i snoretoast

test changes in future

craft -compile --install --qmerge knotifications

^^ if you check out a different branch, it will build the currently selected branch.

^^ works similarly for all Craft packages.

Pairing phone with KDE Connect

• Open CraftRoot\bin\kdeconectd.exe.
• In your phone, click on REQUEST PAIRING button within the Windows system entry.
• run C:\CraftRoot\bin\kdeconnect-cli.exe -d DEVICE_ID --accept.

  Get your DEVICE_ID from ./kdeconnect-cli.exe -l

• kill kdeconnectd.exe, dbus-daemon.exe from the task manager.

That's it! Now just run kdeconnectd.exe from CraftRoot/bin to test run your changes.
