[Digikam-devel] Parallel installs of digikam and PATH

[Sebastian Röder]

I promised I will come up one day with this question, and here it is. I 
installed a fresh digikam trunk checkout (first one from my own SVN account 
*yeaah*) in my home dir (for testing only and many parallel installs).

Then I export my digikam install 
path /home/sero/kde_svn/testbuilds/digikam_trunk-0319 as descriped above by 
Joern. I can start digikam-0.9svn from the same console. Problems: no i18n 
(this should be OK like that cause i18n is not managed inside the extragear 
SVN) and in the album view mode there are some icons missing in the toolbar. 
Anything else is fine.

If I do not export anything, I get a digikam-0.9 (when I start it by the full 
path of cause) with i18n, 0.8.1 splash screen, icons are there but it seems 
like the kipi-plugins from the install in my homedir are used (flicr plugin 
doesn't exist in stable kipis). A mixture of 0.8.1 and 0.9svn :-(

Looks to me like I still did something wrong - maybe somebody can help fixing 
this problem once and forever?
