Building digiKam for dummies on Ubuntu, updated according the latest, input, feedback and knowledge about the current process per august 24, 2011 It could not have been without the input from Dan McDaniel, Gilles Caulier, Philip Johnsson, Gert kello and others. Folowing this guidlines I was able to build flawless on two completely different computers. Since I can, you can probably too. Needed: At least one half of a day, certainly if it is your first try, and might take even longer at a slow computer. A fair amount of persistence is needed too. However if nothing went wrong the whole process might be completed within an hour. If someone detects an error in the description, please let me know asap! Good luck! Rinus Probably it is a good practice to deinstall former digikam installation. If you want latest digikam from git goto ¨START DOWNLOADING FROM GIT¨ else start here. ########################################################## START DOWNLOADING TARBALL ########################################################## Here is your tarball (compressed archive of source code from the latest official released version) http://sourceforge.net/projects/digikam/files/digikam If it´s downloaded, extract it your user dir (somthing like home/my_user_dir) Open a terminal window and go to the place where the software has been extracted. (let´s assume it has been extracted to home/my_user_dir/digikam-software-compilation) If you type pwd at the prompt, you will see where you are, probably in home/my_user_dir type cd digikam-software-compilation NOTA BENE: Go from here to the start building section ########################################################## START DOWNLOADING GIT ########################################################## From git you get the latest source code currently worked on by the programmers. Although you have latest updates and bugfixes, you may also have a newly introduced bug, in fact it is for testing purposes, not officially released yet. If git is not already installed, install git: install from synaptec or: open console type: sudo apt-get install git To get the source code on your computer: cd ~ : to go to your home dir ¨git clone git://anongit.kde.org/digikam-software-compilation digikam-software-compilation¨ Now you have a directory digikam-software-compilation go there cd digikam-software-compilation if you type: ls you will see in this dir a document called ¨download-repos¨, this is a runnable PERL script. If perl not already is installed, install it from synaptec or command line. Now type: perl download-repos Now the git is cloned to your local dir: /home/¨your_user_dir¨/digikam-software-compilation wait while downloading Go from here to start building section Note: If you later want to update your build of digikam with the latest updates you can use: perl gits pull Your local dir is compared to the original and accordingly updated. ########################################################## START BUILDING ########################################################## now make a directory to put your build files in type mkdir build go there by typing: cd build if you do pwd (present working directory) you see somthing like /home/my_user_dir/digikam-software-compilation/build Make sure the(pre)compiler is installed named ¨gcc¨ and ¨cpp¨ the same for ¨make¨ and ¨cmake¨. You can install it from package manager like synaptec or from command line. If cmake is not installed, now type: sudo apt-get install cmake Now let cmake do it´s work cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= `kde4-config --prefix` .. (mind the ¨space dot dot¨ at the end) and make sure NOT to use ¨sudo¨ in front of ¨cmake¨. Most likely it will complain about missing stuff. like libkexiv2-dev, libkipi-dev, libkdcraw-dev, etc. Try to install it from synaptic or in any other way and retry cmake untill succesful. If all went successful now run: make if done run: sudo make install ################################################################################ DONE! ################################################################################ _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

You can do a "sudo apt-get build-dep digikam kipi-plugins" to get some of the dependencies installed in one step. This will install all the dependencies for building the version of digikam and kipi-plugins which is in the ubuntu repository, that's why some packages may still have to be installed for newer versions, but it should give you a good starting point. > If all went successful > now run: > make If you have a dual-core computer, you can run "make -j 2" to have "make" use two processes at once to speed things up and take full advantage of your multi-core system. If you have more cores, simply change "2" to the number of cores. I normally use a number twice as high as the number of cores, to account for delay due to disk access. Note that if you encounter a build failure, error messages may be out-of-order on the screen, re-run "make" without "-j" to get well-readable output of the error messages. > if done run: > sudo make install To un-install, run: "sudo make uninstall" To make un-installation easier, especially if you delete the build directory in between, use checkinstall (sudo apt-get install checkinstall): sudo checkinstall --pkgname=my-digkam make install This will create a .deb package containing your self-built digikam, which you can uninstall using "sudo apt-get remove my-digikam". Another advantage is that you can keep several versions of compiled digikam in packages, in case you encounter a problem with a newer build.

Thank you very much for this valuable info Michael!
Only this one sudo apt-get build-dep digikam kipi-plugins are you sure that this is a good idea if you want to build the latest digikam? I will certainly use it to update to FINAL?

It works fine here, and only draws in dependencies, so I think it should be fine in most cases. Do you plan to make a wiki page out of this?

I hope to put it in a nice place somewere on the digikam.org site where I can maintain it and keep it up to date, so there is no searching around needed for people wanting to build digikam.

Rinus,
I suppose that you don't see my previous mail. I will create a digiKam.org account from you (running under drupal). You will be able to create/maintain a page about this subject... You will receive a mail notification when account will be available...
