Document dependencies

[BlueDrink9]

Thanks for this. Just a note, this seems to depend on qt6-base-dev (ubuntu) / qt6-qtbase-devel (fedora).

Also might be helpful to just point people to an install.sh like this, that creates the systemd service too:

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
SERVICE_NAME="fakwin.service"
SERVICE_DIR="$HOME/.config/systemd/user"
SERVICE_PATH="$SERVICE_DIR/$SERVICE_NAME"
EXECUTABLE="$HOME/.local/bin/fakwin"

# Build the binary
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ..
make
mkdir -p "$(dirname "$EXECUTABLE")"
mv fakwin "$EXECUTABLE"

# Ensure the service directory exists
mkdir -p "$SERVICE_DIR"

# Create the service file
cat << EOF > "$SERVICE_PATH"
[Unit]
Description=Run fakwin binary to fix shutdowns on custom WM plasma.

# For running before shutdown
DefaultDependencies=no
Before=shutdown.target reboot.target halt.target poweroff.target

[Service]
ExecStart=$EXECUTABLE
Restart=always
Type=simple

[Install]
# run before shutdown
WantedBy=shutdown.target
EOF

# Reload systemd to recognize the new service
systemctl --user daemon-reload
# Enable the service to start on boot or before shutdown
systemctl --user enable "$SERVICE_NAME"
# Start the service immediately (optional)
systemctl --user start "$SERVICE_NAME"

Hey, thanks for the point about dependencies. I'll add a note for the same. Thank you for the script as well, but I would rather let people choose how they want to run this script (whether they want to use a systemd service or something else).

And in any case, this is a just a temporary fix. I would rather wish that users complain to the upstream, urging them to fix it, than make the hacky fix a simple click-to-install solution. :)

Fair point!
