trying to install 0.9.4

[Martin Fisher]

Hello All

In working on a wiki page for compiling Digikam under Ubuntu I thought I
should include a how to for compiling the doc as well. But

./configure --prefix=/usr

ends with

checking if doc should be compiled... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
wrong input (flag != 4) at admin/conf.change.pl line 117, <> line 1259.
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: doc/Makefile.in

Does anybody know what this means?

Thanks, Martin

This is generally a packaging problem relevant of settings to do into
the desktop

Note that if KDE and gnome system settings can be merged in a common
place with a common framework to save/read configuration, this wil be
better.

I'm not agree. GTK programming is really really really a
pleasure........ for dinosaur (:=)))

What i'm sure it's than win32 developpers must think than it's a shame
to have a non uniform developement API under Linux. Why GTK exist ?
Why GTK is a C API ? Why not a oriented Object API as Qt is ? Why
Gnome team has created a M$ Mono API under Linux, with a lots of
pattents relevant ?

I'm programming since 15 years old (i'm 39 year old). I have already
tested a lots of programming language. Only a Oriented Object language
are fine to make a big project as digiKam. If you have already take a
look into Gimp source code (GTK C API), it's a big puzzle

To resume : i hate GTK. it's an old coding style language. this is not
the future... Do not ask me to work with it.

Another viewpoint : i have tested Gnome and GTK GUI : for me Gnome is
not a stable desktop. Each time that i have tested on my computer, to
look the progress, i have crashed it speedly... For me KDE is better
an more stable.

The graphics rendering is not realy a pleasure to see. Try to present
Gnome to Windows users : they hate it. This is the really, tested in
my son's school where i have installed a lots of computer under Linux.
KDE have been the winner everywhere...

If Gnome can support OpenDesktop standard as KDE, well D&D, trash, and
copy & paste will work as well... but this is not the case...

Gilles, would you please work on a GTK fork?... Ooops :-)

To be a little off-topic:
======================================
 I'm just back to eclipse again for programming digiKam. The new CDT plugin
and the mylyn bugtracker / task integration are really cool and they
integrate perfect with subclipse (SVN plugin) now... but sadly  it is GTK...

I really like kdevelop, but right now it is not doing things right for me
(auto completion is damn slow and always incomplete, tried every setting and
trick but still its not that much usable) and I always missed the multiple
build / run / debug configurations that are possible with eclipse.
======================================

Ah by the way, digiGam would be a stupid name... :-) so GTK port is really
impossible to do :-D

Right now, I have 0.1.6 of exiv2 in packages, installed. kexiv2 is
at "version" 4.0.98 (KDE4 version integrated).

No matter what combo of source libs / distro libs I use, I get crashes. Is
driving me insane.
I am going to try to go all source/no distro packages this time around. Will
give you a report soon.

Son of a b...

Looks like I have to eat my words on this one.
Doing clean installs of all the sources: libkexiv2 0.1.7, exiv2 0.1.7.1 and
then digikam 0.9.4 worked. I am shocked, because I had done this before, but
hadn't UNinstalled them with purges from the distro before. Some weird
interaction would cause crashes. Odd, no other source install has been this
problematic in 10 years of me compiling my own software alongside distro
packages.

No crashes now. Got the newest digikam, until the distro comes out with its
own version.
