OS X?

[Chris Duffy]

I really want digikam on OS X. It blows iPhoto out of the water. I've  
tried building it with MacPorts but haven't succeeded yet... Has  
anyone else? Are there binaries hiding somewhere on the Internet?  
Thanks.

There is a MacPort for it, but it seems to be broken in ways I can't fix. Also, due to the number of dependencies, it takes FOREVER to build- a day or two on my MacBook Pro- likely much longer for you... hence looking for binaries.

I also tried using MacPorts  several times. The first time it worked but
then after trying to update some package I never managed to have a
working version again. It seems to me that the dependency language of
mac ports is two weak, and package are easily broken.

Maybe you can try fink, I never tried myself.

It was broken for me, too, until I uninstalled everything that had to do with KDE.  As I recall, the previous MacPort of Digikam required an experimental version of something and that created conflicting dependencies.

Anyway, after the great uninstall, a simple 'ports install digikam' did the trick.

I previously had success in building digiKam via MacPorts (version 1.0
and 1.1), but more often then not some dependencies were broken, and it
also is like that right now:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25076

I think I can fix this by creating a new Portfile without the gtk1
dependency. But it might take a few days and maybe the kipi-plugins and
digikam maintainer is faster.

Indeed building digiKam with all the dependencies (especially qt4-mac)
can take a few days, but I don't mind that so much, as long as it
processes without any interaction.

In case you use MacPorts for more than just digiKam you might want to
use "port -n" for future updates and installation of individual ports,
so that not all maybe just slightly modified ports are updated whenever
you just want to install or update one new port.

Here is a screenshot of digiKam on my Mac OS X desktop:
http://www.vlado-do.de/free_software/digikam_1.0rc_macosx.png

But have you tried using Linux on your Mac? I mainly need Mac OS for
the Adobe Flash plugin, for 3D acceleration, and for the "sleep" mode
(standby) - all of which should also work with Linux on newer, i.e.
Intel Macs.

Regards,
Vlado

Maybe I'm slightly OT if I say that latest Kubuntu, 10.4, runs wonderfully on my Macbook Pro 5.5 (almost "out of the box"), and I run Digikam on it.
I don't like proprietary software, but I did a compromise and installed the wireless and the nvidia proprietary driver (to get 3D acceleration) and adobe flash plugin, and everything runs wonderfully: my macbook pro goes to sleep mode when I close the lid and restores as I open it, just takes some seconds more than Os X.

Still, Kubuntu seems to use just a little more power than Os X (I measured it since I needed to know how long will my battery last), and the multi-touvh touchpad works but it's not as comfortable as in Os X (but I prefer using a bluetooth mighty mouse, anyway).

See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
Hope it will be useful.

gerlos

My desktop is ubuntu 10.04- but my laptop is actually my work machine,  
and I need OS X for work. I agree with everyone on the free software  
route, but in this case I have no choice on the underlying os. I'd  
really like digiKam on the lappy so I can work on my photos from it-  
I'll probably keep the actual files and DB on the ubuntu box.

Thanks for the pointers so far. I should be able to put some time into  
a build this coming week. I hope to build a package for other mac  
users (such as my wife, who runs a photo business with Aperture).

Having a standalone Digikam package for MacOSx would be very nice.
Note that Digikam depends on KDE and in particular on KIO, I think this
requires to start some process in addition to Digikam,
hence the package may be hard to build.
I once tried the option to build a .dmg but it only builds a .dmg which
installs the files at the same place as macports and it does not install
the dependencies.
It would be nice to have a standalone .dmg which install Digikam, kipi
plugins and all the dependencies on a particular place with no conflict
with neither fink nor macports packages. I guess this .dmg would be huge
but I think it is the only solution if we want to have non geek macosx
users.

GTK1 ??? digiKam do not use GTK API (:=))) Glib yes, due to optional
depencies, but not GTK, i'm sure.

It's not the digiKam "port" that depends on GTK1, but the kipi-plugins
port (which digiKam depends upon). Anyway, I just patched the
kipi-plugins Portfile file to no longer depend upon gdk-pixbuf (which
depends upon GTK1, but really is optional for kipi-plugins):

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25076

Now I could compile everything via MacPorts again. I just had to patch
digiKam to not display blurry thumbnails (on my PowerPC iMac):

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233094

Another way to install digiKam on Mac OS X, while GTK1 is broken, is by
installing it without the kipi-plugins:

# port -n install digikam +no_kipi

Note : digiKam do not depends of kipi-plugins, but libkipi...
