libkdcraw & libexiv2
Hello,
I'm always amazed of new digikam releases. But this one is a little bit tricky to compile since I can't find neither libkexiv2 >= 1.1.0 nor libkdcraw >= 1.1.0.
Greetings,
Jochen
improvements
These dependencies have been increased due to severals improvements done in these libraries.
Just recompile and install these libs from kdegraphics. See sharedlibs page for details :
http://www.digikam.org/sharedlibs
These libraries are updated exclusively by digiKam team...
digiKam
Which version of kdegraphics
Which version of kdegraphics are you referring to. The current stable version (4.4.4) doesn't work for me.
code from trunk
kdegraphics/libs from trunk, which will be published officially with KDE 4.5.
Just checkout kdegraphics/libs content. It compile as well with KDE 4.4 or 4.3...
digiKam
So......
libkdcraw and libkexiv2 from kdegraphics-4.4.4 is not current enough?
not for this release...
not for this release...
Will 4.4.5 have the right
Will 4.4.5 have the right versions?
no : KDE 4.5.0...
no : KDE 4.5.0...
But you can recompile yourself libkexiv2 and libkdcraw as well from kdegraphics. digiKam team maintain these parts
digiKam
So, we as distro maintainers,
So, we as distro maintainers, will have to stick with digikam 1.2 until KDE releases 4.5 SC? That's very bad as no one will benefit from digiKam >= 1.3.0 except people who're probably using kdegraphics from trunk.
there is no problem really...
You can use as well kdegraphics/libs form trunk with a previous version of KDE as 4.4 or 4.3 release. There is no KDEcore depencies in these library. All will compile fine.
digiKam
Dear Gilles! I respect your
Dear Gilles!
I respect your work and admire how digikam grew to what it is today, but this dependency on kdegraphics/libs from trunk really hurts digikam as no one will ship it until kde 4.5 will be released...
Greetings
Jochen
there is a problem really...
kdegraphics from trunk does not compile against KDE 4.4.4 stable. error: ‘class KUrlNavigator’ has no member named ‘setLocationUrl’ Error 2
This was a bad move to release Digikam against KDE development code instead of KDE 4.4.4 stable.
You is wrong...
Here i use KDE 4.3.2 and kdegraphics/libs compile without any problem !
The point very important there : you only need kdegraphics/libs content, not the whole kdegraphics !
I'm sure that i said. I develop and maintain (as all others digiKam memebers) libkexiv2, libkdcraw, and libkipi hosted in kdegraphics/libs...
Checkout the right dir and try again. For more info, take a look there :

Too bad that these libs
Too bad that these libs aren't released in separate tarballs ;/ Waiting for kde 4.5 final since I dislike having mess in my locally installed packages.
How to compile kipi-plugins and digikam 1.3.0
For Packagers:
Download the libs from kdegraphics trunk.
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/libs
Remove the .svn files (not needed)
find ./ -name .svn -exec rm -rf {} \;
Extract your kdegraphics-4.4.4.tar.bz2 file
Replace the libs folder with the libs folder you just downloaded from kdegraphics trunk.
Recompress the kdegraphics-4.4.4.tar.bz2 file.
rebuild kdegraphics package
install the kdegraphics devel package.
Now you can build kipi-plugins and digikam 1.3.0
Tried that. Installed the
Tried that. Installed the libs into /usr/local/ and with the use of cmake-gui specified the exiv2, kipi and kdcraw lib_dirs.
-- Found Kdcraw library in cache: /usr/local/lib64/libkdcraw.so
-- Found Kexiv2 library in cache: /usr/local/lib64/libkexiv2.so
-- Found Kipi library in cache: /usr/local/lib64/libkipi.so
-- Identified libjpeg version: 80
-- checking for module 'libkdcraw>=1.1.0'
-- package 'libkdcraw>=1.1.0' not found
-- checking for module 'libkexiv2>=1.1.0'
Got rid of the version checks and everything compiled fine but then digikam had no thumbs or full-size images and it wasn't obvious if it was using mysql or sqlite. Mysql settings appeared to check out ok but then when I go back into the settings dialog sqlite is selected.
How can this be an
How can this be an instruction for packagers?
I call this "tips for hackers". How do you expect distro packagers to replace a piece of stable KDE with a hacked-up kdegraphics containing development code, for the sole benefit of getting Digikam to compile?
I will pass on this - no digikam-1.3.0 will enter my repository.
Get your act together please.
