[Digikam-users] How to build Digikam?

[Gandalf Lechner]

Hi Arnd and everybody, 

now that was a set of useful instructions - thanks a lot! With your notes, I 
could finally compile and install digikam 0.10 from svn.

For my fellow kubuntu users: At first, I received an error from cmake claiming 
that QT_QTOPENGL_LIBRARY must be set. Installing libqt4-opengl-dev resolved 
this. Second, after compiling and installing digikam, I was faced with an 
error message that the qt4 sqlite plugin is missing. Having installed libqt4-
sql-sqlite , also this problem was overcome.

I was however not successful to find the correct package to solve the imlib 
dependency (I installed basically everything with imlib in its name), but this 
is apparantly optional.


Once digikam finished crawling through my pictures, selecting albums on the 
left did not result in showing thumbnails in the main window. I am running a 
"rebuild all thumbnails" right now and hope this fixes it; looking forward to 
have a look at the new digikam :-)

Best,
Gandalf
