Digikam Compiled Successfully

[JaY Singh]

Thanks Gilles and Sambhav for your help .Digikam is now successfully compiled on my system .

I manage to figure out that it wasn't the issue of libexiv2-dev as it was already installed on my system.

In fact the problem was exiv2 repo mentioned in the guide .So for new users i would suggest that the guide is fine enough except for the exiv2 installation part and rather than installing exiv2 from the steps mentioned in the guide use official github repo and be through README.md file in the package for installation instructions.

Thanks You,

Jay Singh

Ok, 

Now, you are ready to patch and fix some code in digiKam.

Did you explore :

- bugzilla entries to found a bug to solve (by preference something inside a plugin).

- digiKam source code ?

Best
