[Digikam-devel] Please tell me how to compile digikam with exiv2 and kdcraw libraries

[Simon Eugster]

Ah, thanks a lot.
Compiling and installing works, but digikam isn't displaying any
image. Debug output says:
> digikam(22301)/digikam (core) Digikam::ImageAlbumModel::slotResult: Failed to list url:  "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
> klauncher said: Fehler beim Laden von „kio_digikamalbums“
> ."
What is the problem here?


Some change suggestions to the tutorial:
# svn checkout svn://dev.exiv2.org/svn/trunk
# mv trunk exiv2
v
v
# svn checkout svn://dev.exiv2.org/svn/trunk exiv2


# sudo make install
v
v
# sudo make install -j3    # Make with 3 threads; best: # of cores + 1

Patch CMakeLists.txt to be able to build standalone. Download appended
patch and place it in your development folder.
# patch < ../libkexiv2cmake.diff.txt
