[Digikam-users] Re: DigiKam compilation instructions

[Peter Shute]

Would it be possible to create a "cookbook" that covers every unique situation like this? Perhaps what might be more useful would be some general instructions that should work in an ideal world, but have a series of "compilation alerts". These would be like a blog of problems that people have come across when they have tried to compile and had to take corrective action.

It would be up to the experts to post these, of course. The rest of us would just try try to follow the general instructions, then check the latest alerts when we have problems.

I've just pulled the package from Phillip's PPA and installed it. Happily, exiv2 v.20 is being used!

Since this seems to be a rather unique situation, I can't help but emphasize that a "cook-book" would be immensely helpful. Not only would it help people compile everything that's required to get dK to operate as intended but, it would also be a great learning tool. Thus, perhaps we code-challenged folks out here won't have to bother the experts as much ;-)

Hi Hevï,

I just make the upgrade, and if I uncheck the libkexiv2-8 packet, Digikam
seems to use exiv 0.20.

The only ugly think (but not linked to DK 1.8 upgrade), is that update
manager want to update my libkexiv2 packet with the official repository
packet but with the exactly same version number.


So always think to uncheck libkexiv2-8 in "to update list" and you shoul
keep the use of exiv2 0.20
