I've been using Digikam for over 10 years and It's been fantastic.
Lately, for the past year, it's been unstable, crashing once every
5-8 times I've used it, even with a fresh install of the os and
digikam. The latest version under Kbuntu is 4.13. So, I decided to
download and compile the latest version rather than relying on
Canonical to get up to date. However, on the Digikam website I found
this under "Installing a tarball":
Extract the tarball via
tar -xvjf filename.bz2, enter
the extracted directory and then you need to issue a set of
commands. You need to specify an installation prefix. This will be
the base path of the installation. To determine the correct path to
your KDE installation, use
`kde4-config --prefix` and
provide it as a parameter for cmake, as shown in the example
commands below:
bootstrap.linux
cd build
make
su
make install
I'm not sure what to do because it says to use the correct path to
the kde4 installation and provide it as a parameter for cmake as
shown below. I don't see any use of either cmake or the kde4 path. I
also don't understand what 'bootstrap.linux' means.
Could someone please clarify this for me and maybe make it a little
clearer on the website.
