Hi, I'm trying to get Digikam 5.2 working on Debian Jessie. However, due to large number of libraries that are not available in the correct version, I decided to try to compile it on Debian Stretch wit static linking so (hopefully) I can remove most of the problematic runtime dependencies. |
Hi, Static linking will be very problematic. I never tried a lots in this direction... There is another alternative that i currently finalize : AppImage. This taken a lots of time to complete. I'm actually at 90% to bundle the full application, but some feature are not yet here. If you is interested, i can share with you a beta bundle to test.

Sounds promising.
Yeah, sure. I would be glad to help testing. Thanks, Guy

The first beta AppImage is here : Do not use yet in production. Use a dedicated account plus a test collection. I'm sure that some features will not work yet. Be careful... Gilles Caulier 2016-10-15 21:18 GMT+02:00 Guy Rutenberg <[hidden email]>:

Thanks, I manged to get it running without a problem on Debian Jessie. One issue I did encounter was (I'm not sure it if digikam 5 in general or the AppImage) that Digikam would not update albums names if renamed in the file manager. The new names would be picked up only after restarting the app. Currently, I'm testing it on a VM. Can it co-exist on the same machine with Digikam 4? Thanks, Guy |

Well it must typically. What's the trace on the console when you rename an album ?
Yes, without problem. This is an advantage. Just take a care to not mix database files. Be sure to not use 4.x database and 5.x database. Gilles Caulier |
