[Digikam-users] How to build Digikam?

[Gandalf Lechner]

Hooray, 

after a fresh checkout, everything compiles again, thanks for fixing it! 
However, I still can't see any thumbnails/images. Let me describe a few more 
strange things I experience here:


- When running cmake ... from a build dir within graphics/, all the cmake 
stuff like CMakeCache.txt, CMakeFiles/, etc was created in graphics/ itself 
instead of graphics/build . Compiling in graphics/ work fine, however.

- In the config dialog Settings->Config digikam->Kipi Plugins, it says "0 Kipi 
plugins found", although I compiled and installed them from svn, too.

- I tried to import images manually, but the "Add Images" button in 
the "Import" menu is grayed out and can't be used.

- My album structure, tag structure and saved searches appear as in the old 
digikam, but the timeline view is empty.

- The "Batch" and "Export" menus are missing: The buttons appear in the menu 
bar, but clicking them does not expand any menu.


Is the above to be expected in this beta or rather a sign that something 
wasn't set up properly here? I'm really looking forward to testing the new 
digikam, so any help in sorting out these issues is greatly appreciated!

Best,
Gandalf
