[Digikam-users] Monthly "cannot build from SVN" thread, sorry.

[Gandalf Lechner]

Hi Dotan,

digikam is compiling and running as it should here on the latest stable 
kubuntu (that is, hardy kde4 fully updated). So there is probably something 
wrong with your setup. It also took me a while to have all variables set in 
the correct way and all dependencies satisfied, but thanks to a lot of help 
from people on the list, it now works fine.

After the initial checkout as described on the digikam website, I use the 
following script to checkout, compile and install. My svn directory is 
~/down/svn, you have to adjust that to your system. And install all the 
necessary development packages, of course, but I don't have a complete list of 
these.

Good luck,
Gandalf
