<br> <br>configure check need an update. Installed is<br> <br> ii libkdcraw2 0.1.3-1 Raw picture decoding C++ library (runtime)<br>
<br> configure says:<br> <br> checking for libkdcraw in our sources... not found in sources<br> checking for libkdcraw >= 0.1.2... yes<br> checking LIBKDCRAW_CFLAGS... -I/usr/include/kde<br> checking LIBKDCRAW_LIBS... -lkdcraw<br>
<br> but an build fails due to out of date libkdcraw<br> <br> kipi-plugins-0.1.5/./kipi-plugins/imageviewer/texture.cpp:92: error:<br> 'class KDcrawIface::DcrawBinary' has no member named 'rawFiles'<br> <br>
><br> > Waiting your feedback :)<br> <br> A (pointed) remark: Due to all this lib API incompatibilities with<br> each release one has more or less to update/rebuild libk*, kipi-plugins<br> and all kipi host application together. This really sucks :(<br>
<br> So updating is an all or nothing and not much fun, really.<br> When I think about backporting, then libgpod and exiv2 etc are<br> also out too old, then the real fun begins :(<br> <br> We should really better try to a) avoid breaking backward compatibiliy,<br>
b) collect API breaking changes and do them once together, and c) if not<br> too complicated ensure software build with the 2 last API version.<br> <br> Another way would be to move a kipi-plugin into it's own process (Hide<br>
the implementation detail behind libkipi API ;) This way kipi-plugins<br> and the kipi host apps could each use different API version of an lib<br> like libkdcraw1 and libkdcraw3, libkexiv2-1 and libkexiv2-2 etc.<br>
without danger to crash.</blockquote>

Libkipi is now become a low level interface...<br>
<br>For libkexiv2, there is no i18n.<br><br>For libkdcraw, i18n still here because there is a big widget to configure Raw decoding settings. This one is shared between RAWConverter and digiKam<br><br>So i recommend to let's KDE3 branch as well about libkipi and i18n. KDE4 solve the problem.<br>
<br>About libkdcraw, i have no speed up solution... Suggestion welcome<br><br></div></div>Best<br><span class="sg"><br>Gilles Caulier<br>
