Digikam packaged for MacOS (dmg or alike)

Agustin Lobo
Is there any binary release of Digikam packaged for MacOSX as a dmg
file (or alike) foreseen?
Anybody working on this?
I find the suggested Macports installation too involved for the
average Mac user.

Thanks
Agus

Well, i would to found somebody able to do it. It's not a simple task
that could be delegate to a student for ex.

Macports provide also a way to make a dmg from a fresh install, but
last time that i do it, compilation cannot be completed...

Can’t recall where I had picked it up from but, I’m running a copy of Digikam 3.5 beta from a dmg file. Seems to work without  under Mavericks 10.9 on my MBPr

Ooops!  Sorry: I just realised that I had indeed installed it via Macports. But hey, considering the difficulties and utter frustration that I had faced when I first tried to install Digikam on Ubuntu a couple of years ago, this was a piece of cake!

Re: Digikam packaged for MacOS (dmg or alike)

Agustin Lobo
Using the Macports is what I did and took for hours. Not looking
forward to do it again in the future...
I think that, under these circumstances, stating that Digikam is
available for MacOS is
a bit misleading. For 99% of Mac users, Digikam is not really
available. The answer to
"Is Digikam available for Mac OSX?" should be "Not without hours of
work on the installation"
I regret it, many people would use Digikam on Mac if a dmg or pkg
based installation was available.

Angus, don’t give up yet! If you can’t get it going via Macports, install VirtualBox, set up your favourite Distro it and then simply install Digikam from the repo.

That is giving up.

If you have to install another OS to run it…. it's not available your OS.

I receive all script to build digiKam OSX DMG package from a
contributor. I have not yet published scripts in source and tested it
on my Macbook pro. I plan to do it later 4.10.0 which will be released
in week.

Please be patient.
