[Digikam-devel] Digikam 4 or 5 on Debian stretch

[Jens Holzhäuser]

Hi,

like a few others here, I am missing Digikam on Debian stretch.

I was able to compile the latest V5 beta version without opencv (I can live
without it for now) from git. I used bootstrap.local to install it into
/usr/local/digikam, and am starting via a shellscript that takes care of
the KDE/KDESYCOCADIR variables etc.

When starting digikam, I see fairly at the begining (amongst many other messages):


| digikam.general: Database Parameters:
|    Type:                 "QSQLITE"
|    DB Core Name:         "/home/jens/Pics/digikam4.db"
|    DB Thumbs Name:       "/home/jens/Pics/thumbnails-digikam.db"
|    DB Face Name:         "/home/jens/Pics/recognition.db"

|    Password:             ""

| digikam.dbengine: Loading SQL code from config file ""
| digikam.dbengine: "Could not open the configuration file <b></b>. This file is installed with
| the digikam application and is absolutely required to run digikam. Please check your installation."


What am I missing? Where do I get the config file with the SQL code
from and where does it go?
The list DB files are the ones from my prior Digikam 4 use.

I also see no splash window on startup; digikam shows all the folders
and subfolders in the configured directory, without any pictures though.
Plus messages like "digikam.dbengine: Attempt to execute null action".


I would be fine with Digikam 4 as well, but when trying to bootstrap the 
source from the official digikam-4.14.0.tar.bz2 archive, cmake fails with

|   -- Adjusting compilation flags for GCC version (5.2.1 )

|     return 0;
|     }

How do I tell cmake to call the compiler with -I/usr/include/lqr-1 ,
which I think would be solution to that? I have liblqr-1-0-dev 0.4.2-2
installed, which puts the includes there.


Thanks,

	Jens
