Installing Digikam on a Mac
Locked

Hello,
I would like to install Digikam on a Mac for a friend, and I don't know anything about Mac ... ;-) Can you provide some guidelines. Thanks a lot, Marie-Noelle -- Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ?

It easy, but long. I already do it on my macbook.
You need to install macport. digiKam is available on this project. There is no digiKam DMG file (i open an entry for next GSoC 2011 about this subject) http://www.macports.org/ macport is like gentoo : you compile and install application. macport resolve all depencies automatically. all is installed in /opt to be sure to not touch core system. As you will compile all application and dependencies, you must install Apple compiler in first : XCode. All is explained here: http://www.macports.org/install.php Installing digikam through macport want mean to checkout and compile all depencies, including last KDE4 and Qt4. This is why it's take a while. digiKam macport maintainer is Jan Gosmann <jan hyper-world de>. Read here that digiKam 1.9.0 run under mac with KDE 4.6.1 : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266735 Gilles Caulier 2011/3/16 Marie-Noëlle Augendre <[hidden email]>: > Hello, > > I would like to install Digikam on a Mac for a friend, and I don't know > anything about Mac ... ;-) > Can you provide some guidelines. > > Thanks a lot, > Marie-Noelle > > -- > Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ?

Gilles, thanks for your answer.
I will transfer it my friend, hoping she will succeed in installing it by herself. Otherwise, I'll advise her to suscribe to the list, as I won't have access to her computer before a couple of months. Marie-Noëlle 2011/3/16 Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> It easy, but long.

2011/3/16 Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> It easy, but long. I already do it on my macbook. Gilles, My friend seems to think she'll need to buy a program called xcode (99€) to install macport. Is that the case ? Marie-Noëlle -- Une galerie photos, un blog ... pourquoi pas ?

You can get XCode 4 from the App Store for $5 and XCode 3 is still a free download if you sign up with a free developer account. You just need the compilers though and you can download them from hpc.sourceforget.net.

I downloaded XCode from apple developer web site. It's free. No need
to pay for that...

The new XCode 4 with updated llvm compilers and debugger is not free ($5).

We need a software to manage a database of photos for a scientific association. It'll be used by volunteers who will work for the association for one or two months, none of them being a developer. About 10 to 12 different computers will be used, some Mac, others PC (I think I'll be the only one working with Linux).
I suggested Digikam as I know it works on the 3 platforms. It has also the advantage of the Piwigo-export that'll be very handy to upload the photos into the online gallery. But if Digikam is too complicate to install for non-developers who will be working with it for a couple of months only, we may use any other software on the "front-office" computers, to sort, tag and rename the photos; before loading them in the "database" computer. Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't matter whether one photo has been tagged by one program or another, as long as the tags are actually written in the file metadata, and the program used by the "main" computer can retrieve them. But it could be trikier for the management team to manage volunteers who won't use the same program ...
