I believe this dependency is neither in the standard repos, nor does its cmake method allow easy installing (it puts the dependencies in /usr/local/include/, and the current make file fails to find it). Because of this, the project does not build.

I believe i have made it quite explicit in the makefile that CPP-SMTPClient needs to be explicitly linked and included though i guess that should have been mentioned in the readme too.
I can see how this is a sub-optimal solution and I've been looking for a replacement library generally due to some other issue relating to how it handles the mail header.

I'd suggest looking into vmime and libesmtp as libraries for replacement. Both are in the debian standard repos. Never used them before, but they advertise themselves as SMTP clients.
