START DOWNLOADING TARBALL<br>
##############################<u></u>############################<br>
<br>
Here is your tarball (compressed archive of source code<br>
from the latest official released version)<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/digikam/files/digikam" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/<u></u>projects/digikam/files/digikam</a><br>
<br>
<br>
If it´s downloaded, extract it your user dir (somthing like<br>
home/my_user_dir)<br>
<br>
Open a terminal window and go to the place where the software<br>
has been extracted. (let´s assume it has been extracted to<br>
home/my_user_dir/digikam-<u></u>software-compilation)<br>
If you type pwd at the prompt, you will see where you are,<br>
probably in home/my_user_dir<br>
type cd digikam-software-compilation<br>
<br>
NOTA BENE: Go from here to the start building section<br>
<br>
##############################<u></u>############################<br>
START DOWNLOADING GIT<br>
##############################<u></u>############################<br>
From git you get the latest source code currently worked on<br>
by the programmers. Although you have latest updates and<br>
bugfixes, you may also have a newly introduced bug, in fact<br>
it is for testing purposes, not officially released yet.<br>
<br>
If git is not already installed, install git:<br>
install from synaptec or:<br>
open console<br>
type:<br>
sudo apt-get install git<br>
<br>
To get the source code on your computer:<br>
cd ~ : to go to your home dir<br>
¨git clone git://<a href="http://anongit.kde.org/digikam-software-compilation" target="_blank">anongit.kde.org/digikam-<u></u>software-compilation</a><br>
digikam-software-compilation¨<br>
<br>
Now you havw a directory digikam-software-compilation<br>
go there<br>
cd digikam-software-compilation<br>
<br>
if you type:<br>
ls<br>
you will see in this dir a document called ¨download-repos¨,<br>
this is a runnable PERL script.<br>
<br>
If perl not already is installed, install it from synaptec<br>
or command line.<br>
<br>
Now type:<br>
sudo perl download-repos<br>
Now the git is cloned to your local dir:<br>
/home/¨your_user_dir¨/digikam-<u></u>software-compilation<br>
<br>
wait while downloading<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
##############################<u></u>############################<br>
START BUILDING<br>
##############################<u></u>############################<br>
<br>
<br>
now make a directory to put your build files in<br>
type mkdir build<br>
go there by typing:<br>
cd build<br>
<br>
if you do pwd (present working directory)<br>
you see somthing like<br>
/home/my_user_dir/digikam-<u></u>software-compilation/build<br>
<br>
Make sure the(pre)compiler is installed named ¨gcc¨ and<br>
¨cpp¨ the same for ¨make¨ and ¨cmake¨. You can install it<br>
from package manager like synaptec or from command line.<br>
<br>
If cmake is not installed, now type:<br>
sudo apt-get install cmake<br>
Now let cmake do it´s work<br>
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<br>
`kde4-config --prefix` ..<br>
(mind the ¨space dot dot¨ at the end) and make sure NOT to<br>
use ¨sudo¨ in front of ¨cmake¨.<br>
<br>
<br>
Most likely it will complain about missing stuff. like<br>
libkexiv2-dev, libkipi-dev, libkdcraw-dev, etc.<br>
Try to install it from synaptic or in any other way and<br>
retry cmake untill succesful.<br>
<br>
<br>
If all went successful<br>
now run:<br>
make<br>
<br>
if done run:<br>
sudo make install<br>
