Build Process

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

The plugins use the digikam core shared libraries. If changes are only done
in plugins and not in core libs, the plugins can be recompiled and
installed alone.
I do it to speed up the development process of a plugin. Just use 'make' in
the build directory of the wanted plugin. To install, as root run 'make
install/fast'. To test at run-time, use Showfoto or digiKam. There is also
a small CLI tool in tests/dplugins named 'loadandrun_generic_gui' for
Generic plugin type.

Best

Gilles Caulier
