Understanding
A kioslave is a shared object plus its description. E.g. the imap4 kioslave consist of the following files:
linux-7nj1:/opt/kde3 # find -iname "*imap4*" ./lib/kde3/kio_imap4.so ./lib/kde3/kio_imap4.la ./share/services/imap4.protocol
Where the .la file is only needed if you compile software that depends on it.
create kio_hello
We want to write a "hello world" kioslave, so install kdepim and start its program kode:
linux-7nj1:~/kio # kode --create-kioslave --classname Kio_hello
Verify the program has done something:
linux-7nj1:~/kio # ls Makefile.am kio_hello.cpp kio_hello.h kio_hello.protocol linux-7nj1:~/kio # g++ --shared -lkdeui -lkio -lkdecore -L/opt/kde3/lib -I/opt/kde3/include -I/usr/lib/qt3/include kio_hello.cpp -o kio_hello.so linux-7nj1:~/kio # file kio_hello.so kio_hello.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped linux-7nj1:~/kio # cp kio_hello.so /opt/kde3/lib/
Start kinfocenter, choose protocols and verify you really have the imap protocol.
cp /opt/kde3/share/services/imap4.protocol /opt/kde3/share/services/hello.protocol
now adapt /opt/kde3/share/services/hello.protocol using kwrite. Start kinfocenter, verify you have a protocol hello. In your konqueror, you can now enter hello:/// and you do NOT get "protocol not supported".
