Building

Prerequisites

The plugin requires the Double Commander SDK headers. Clone the Double Commander source and place this plugin in the correct location:

# Clone Double Commander source
git clone https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd.git
cd doublecmd

# Clone this plugin into the plugins directory
git clone https://github.com/miklos-szel/rclone-wfx.git plugins/wfx/rclone

The expected directory structure:

doublecmd/
├── sdk/                    # SDK headers (from Double Commander source)
└── plugins/
    └── wfx/
        └── rclone/         # This plugin

macOS

cd plugins/wfx/rclone/build
./build_macos.sh

The script will use lazbuild if available, or fall back to fpc, or offer to install via Homebrew.

To remove build artifacts:

./build_macos.sh clean

Output

The compiled plugin is created at:

doublecmd/plugins/wfx/rclone/rclone.wfx
