testing XMP fixes, git not compiling / configuring

[jon piesing]

I've been irritated by the XMP issues for some time so I was very pleased to see some of them getting closed for 2.6.0.

I thought I'd try to checkout the code from git with these fixes and see how they behaved.

Unfortunately both times I've tried over the last few days, what's in git doesn't compile.

Is what's in git expected to configure and compile? Are there any times / days when it's more likely to compile than others?

Should I just wait for beta3 to test the XMP fixes?

The first time I tried, something in libpanorama wouldn't compile. I know C and Java but the error message was complete gibberish to me.

The second time (today), the contents of git won't even configure.

If what's in git is supposed to configure & compile then I have a log file I can send out showing a variety of messages (e.g. complaints about lack of a version.h file for libkdcraw).

Can you give us a trace of error. All compile and work fine here.

If you have an error in panorama, it's probably a Boost lib problem...

Using current code from git/master is the right way to test. You must
take a care to use all kdegraphics/libs from git/master as digiKam and
kipi-plugins. With cmake the is an option to turn on. Look README file
for details.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The attached file contains the results of running cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .. >& foo.

This set of parameters are taken from the instructions http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download?q=download/GIT.

As far as I can see from the messages, it looks like it's taking kipi-plugins (etc) from the git versions.

This is a clean check-out from git yesterday. I deleted the entire directory hierarchy from earlier in the week in case that was interfering.

Jon

Gilles, all,

Now I've got the version from git to compile (thanks!!), is it possible to install it alongside an existing install of a released version of digikam or does it have to replace the existing installation?
Currently I have 2.5.0 with the main binary installed as /usr/bin/digikam.


Jon

When you process "make install" as root, look where digiKam is install
in your system...

Here is what I did on my computer:

Instead of -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`, use
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<directory where you want digikam to be>. For
example, I use $HOME/Binaries. Then after your cmake [...], make, make
install, you will have digikam binaries in $HOME/Binaries/bin.
However, to start it, you need to do the following:

$ cd $HOME/binaries/bin
$ KDEDIRS=$HOME/Binaries ./digikam

The big advantage of this is that you don't need to be root to install
digikam, hence you won't mess your system...
