How to build Digikam?

[Geoff King-4]

Hi Gandalf, and others trying to use kubuntu/ubuntu to install 0.10beta.

I am in the same position - no thumbnails or images.  The bug report I
filed a few days ago sounds like the same thing.
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165885

Did the rescan or restart help?

I've now compiled twice using the method outlined by Arnd (thanks
Arnd) and also using the libs directly from kubuntu (4.1beta2) and
both give the same result.  Maybe it's something wrong with
kubuntu/ubuntu, but most of the other kde4 programs and desktop work
fine (for a beta).

No, unfortunately not.

I can see images on my camera, but not in the albums. I can open images with
showfoto, though, and see the thumbnails during the "create all thumbnails"
business.
Moreover, when I check the config dialog of digikam, I see "0 kipi plugins
found", although they were compiled and installed from svn.

Finally, I did a fresh checkout, which gave me some more trouble: While the
cmake script for the graphics folder says "congratulations! all external
packages have been found", make fails, with the message

Here, you have both Exiv2 installed on your computer : one > 0.16 with
Xmp support (detected by CMake script), and one < 0.16 used to compile
libkexiv2. I don't know why the first one is not used to compile on
the right way.

Hmm, I can only say that current svn works fine on a kubuntu
installation (8.04, ie. hardy).
Maybe there is already a difference wrt to the beta?

Arnd,
Maybe there is something wrong with my kde since I'm running a 8.04
"ubuntu/gnome" setup. Although, I've been playing around with the new
kde4.1beta2 from the kubuntu repositories and it seems to run just
fine.  The main thing that comes to mind are more basic system related
(gdm instead of kdm, plus have a bunch of kde3 packages also installed
but nothing related to digikam).

It's really not a big deal for me, since I plan on sticking with the
stable digikam3 for a few more months on my main computer.  I was just
hoping to check it out and provide some comments/bug reports.

Don't think that this is the source of the problems
(I use kubuntu, but with fvwm as window manager ....)

I have both in parallel; I won't give my real pictures into the
hands of 0.10  yet ... ;-)

That would be very helpful, the more testing, the better ...

In any case, the status/problem is summarized correctly in
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165885 ?
Or do you see different errors now?

The problem is that I have no idea how to debug this...
Marcel, Gilles?

Best, Arnd
