Is there any way to have working NetRocks with SMB support at Mac OS X? #722

Good day,

Usual thanks to the contributors for the great work on Far2l port!

Sorry if I missed in discussions, but is there any way/hope to build Far2l for Mac OS X with NetRocks supporting SMB? I have NAS in my network with SMB shares, and would like to connect them from NetRocks. Yes, I can mount the shares by Mac OS Finder, and the shares become accessible from within Far2l then. However, I prefer to stay with Far and to not mix its use with Finder.

I'm using Mac OS X Catalina 10.15.5 + brew ports. There is no libsmbclient-dev port and seems no any hope to get it (probably due to license issues with Samba project). Can anybody kindly confirm there is NO way to get NetRocks + SMB for the configuration?

Thank you,

If macos is able to mount SMB resources from command line then you may use 'file://' protocol: create file protocol with working directory pointing to some preselected path, open [protocol options] and specify mount command in 'command to execute when connect', so each time you will navigate to this resource in netrocks - it will execute specified command and open that directory in panel. Note that there is 'disconnect' command, so once opened one time - it will remain mounted until you will unmount it manually.

Regarding native support, i've google a bit and found that there're quite many SMB client libraries appeared recently, beside samba. For instance this one declared to support macos too: https://github.com/sahlberg/libsmb2 So it looks as potentially doable, just need to implement SMB using this (or some other if any) library, hoping its stable enough.

Thank you, that worked for me!
