Digikam Windows binary download ?

Linuxguy123
Forgive me for asking, but is there somewhere that I can download a pre
compiled Digikam Windows binary ?

Thanks

The is a 'kde-installer' by the kde-on-windows project, which pulls all the
kde libs from the net, compiles them and sets up an environment to run kde
apps.

If you put the installer in 'developer mode', you can search a list of
packages to install, of which one is digikam.
(Not the newest version of course.)

By the way, it didn't work for me, as a lot of the kde background processes
(dbus) refused to work properly on my vista
and digikam relies on them. But maybe you have more luck. But beware that
non-KDE-Linux Systems seem not to be the main
focus of development for digikam.

Please speak up if you find precompiled or even statically linked versions
for Windows or even Mac OS X.
I would really like to try them as well.

Regards,

Stefan

Vista Business Edition 32bit
I don't recall the revision/patch level,
but I tested about 4 month ago.

BTW: The Marbel app, which is used inside digikam to geolocate photos, is
(was)
not available through the kde installer. But digikam should work without.

That pretty much sounds like either a failed install, or maybe using a
restrictive firewall.

statically linked versions of KDE applications are basically impossible.
The problem is not about making static libraries itself, but about how
KDE works e.g. you will always need all the system daemons (kded,
kdeinit etc.).

If you give some more details, we can try to fix your issues, digikam
should work (maybe not completely but at least you would call it running.).

it is included in the kdeedu package in the KDE version; digikam will
very likely not work if it is missing.

The same for my Vista home 32bit with service pack. I recently tried to
install gpg4win which uses Kleopatra as key manager and the dbus
problem still is the same as during the try to install the whole kde
about 2 month ago...

Fortunately I do not need Vista ;-)

Those two issues might be a problem:
1) a restrictive firewall (try to unblock dbus-daemon and kde* processes
too)
2) Microsofts User Agent Control
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control) which blocks quite
some processes and might harm KDE as well. the UAC is really restrictive
in Vista, so maybe disabling it might help.

Thanks for the offer. Very kind of you.

But actually running it on windows was already the workaround for not  
beeing able to run it on Mac OS X.

I'm only spending very little time on that windows machine, so my  
reports would be so damn slow you would soon be regretting
that you tried to help me. But I will post my results should I try it  
again some day.
(That is if it's not YOU who desperatly needs some feedback on that  
matter.
It basicaly comes down to finding some time and overcome my inner  
temptations on avoiding that machine.)

Regards

Stefan
