Hi to All and in this case especially to those who want to build
their own digikam 2.0.0-rc (rc stands for release candidate, meaning
it is almost final) and have not been confident with linux,
programming, building etc etc.
First off all a big THANK and hurray for the people who did it again and brought this digiKam release to us! Yesterday I have been trying to build from git (git is the place where the source code is stored where the programmers are working on). Alas I never came any further than 3%. Confronted with incomprehencable messages en unsolvable conflicts. (I myself belong still to the ignorends) After all I wonder if it´s only me or maybe the makefiles have been not enough up to date? But never mind, that was yesterday. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Gilles anounced yesterday the release of the tarball version, and I was not me if I did not give a try. And miraculously it build flawless, some comprehensible messages about dependencies hence easely solved. Since I can, you can probably too. Needed: At least one half of a day, certainly if it is your first try. A fair amount of persistence. I will be around a few more days and keep one eye on the mail until upcoming saterday and help as far as I am capable. If someone detects an error in the description, please let me know asap! Have a nice day, Rinus ########################################################## START BUILDING ########################################################## Here is your tarball (compressed archive of source code) http://sourceforge.net/projects/digikam/files/digikam/2.0.0-rc/digikam-2.0.0-rc.tar.bz2/download 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. If you type pwd at the prompt, you will see where you are, probably in home/my_user_dir type cd digikam-2.0.0-rc now make a directory to put your build files in type mkdir build cd build if you do pwd (present working directory) you see somthing like /home/my_user_dir/digikam-2.0.0-rc/build If cmake is not installed, now type: Now let cmake do it´s work Most likely it will complain about missing stuff. Try to install it from synaptic or in any other way and retry cmake untill succesfull. If all went successfulnow run: if done run: _______________________________________________ Digikam-users mailing list [hidden email] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/digikam-users |

Thanks for your kind words,
It does not have any piority to me to be in the the contest. If I thought I had a chance to win I would take the effort so I could donate the netbook to digikam, but that would look to much like fraud. But feel free to copy and past my work to anywhere it can do some good. kind regards, Rinus Op 29-06-11 13:15, Dmitri Popov schreef: > Excellent job, Rinus!
