to build the NFSv4 ACL Editor:

prerequisites:
	- the attr package, version 2.4.32-1 or newer.
	- the rest of the nfs4-acl-tool package build and installed.
	- Qt 4  [http://www.trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/]
		- my configure line was: 
		  ./configure -prefix /home/richterd/projects/nfs/ACL/qt-4.1.4/ \
		    -no-tablet -no-xrandr -no-xinerama -no-nis -qt-gif -qt-libpng

building:
	once the rest of the components are installed, make sure that
	the version 4 `qmake` is in your path and export the main Qt
	installation directory (e.g., export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt-4.1.4).

	the Makefile included in the 'nfs4-acl-tool' directory is auto-
	generated by Qt and likely won't work for you.  instead, first
	run:

		$ qmake

	to generate a new Makefile from the nfs4-acl-editor.pro file.
	assuming the Makefile is made, you should just be able to type
	`make` and have it build.


contextual menu support:
	the file "NFSv4-ACL.desktop" in this directory is a simple addition
	to KDE contextual menus (i.e., right-click menus) so that the NFSv4
	ACL tool can be easily used with a graphical file browser.

	to enable this addition to the menu, copy "NFSv4-ACL.desktop" into, 
	e.g., "/opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/", or where you
	choose to install servicemenus for konqueror.

	we're working on GNOME support.


troubleshooting:
	it used to be that libnfs4acl.a was installed in a place like /lib/
	so it could be found when building this GUI tool.  really, that was
	unnecessary and an artifact of a jerry-rigged build setup.  now
	we're trying to get Qt's build system to statically link against
	libnfs4acl.a right in the build tree.  hopefully this will end up
	working sanely on most systems.

	if things break, check for obvious culprits in the qmake-generated
	Makefile and check out "INSTALL" in this package's top-level 
	directory.
