Thanks Boud for your time yesterday around IRC.<br>
<br>
some notes for user of a 'old' ubuntu based distribution ( here
Linux Mint 11 , based on 11.04 ) who compile themselves Krita ,
Lcms2 is not in the default package via synaptic and you'll have to
compile it : <br>
<br>
- go here : <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcms/files/"
style="padding: 0em; margin: 0em; color: rgb(154, 16, 0);
text-decoration: underline;">http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcms/files/</a> then
download the last version of the sources (2-2.3 ), the *.tar.gz
version<br>
- extract it , then paste the content into your folder where your
store your sources<br>
- with a terminal go inside this folder then :<br>
<br>
<pre style="padding: 21px; margin: 10px 0px; font-family: monospace; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 1px dotted rgb(170, 170, 170); overflow: auto; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">./configure
make
make check
sudo make install
</pre>
<div style="padding: 0em; margin: 0em; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;
font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2;
text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal;
widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255,
255);">More documentation about installation in the /doc/ folder,
3 pdf , very good doc.<br>
<br>
On Krita source directory, you 'll also need to remove
kolcmsengine.so from your installation folder ( calligra-inst )
and CMakeCache.txt in your build folder (calligra-build) , to
take lcms2 intos account .<br>
Then recompile it.<br>
<br>
Hope it can help.<br>
<br>
</div>

<pre wrap="">Hi,

The biggest problem is Windows, where kde-windows doesn't have lcms2 support yet. I hope to fix that tonight. All current Linux distributions package lcms2.
