[Digikam-users] Digikam crashes under MacOS when built using git + MacPorts

[Phil Stanford]

Hi.
I've previously used Digikam on MacOS (10.6.8), built using MacPorts for
both Digikam and all the dependencies.
The MacPorts Digikam version hasn't been updated for some time (still on
2.1.1_1)  and I spotted the instructions for installing using git:

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/README.MACOSX

I was hoping to install the current stable 2.5.0  version of Digikam.

Before starting the process in the instructions above, I made sure that all
the MacPorts already installed were up to date, and that I could install
and run the current MacPorts version of DIgikam (2.1.1_1).  The only
exception was that I activated boost-1.47 rather than 1.48 as I'd read that
there had been some recent issues and although I'd read that these had been
fixed I wasn't quite sure what Digikam build I would be picking up.

Once I'd proved that everything worked with the updated MacPorts
dependencies, I uninstalled digikam by doing 'port uninstall digikam'.

I then followed the instructions in the link above, and everything seemed
to work and I had no obvious errors during the build or install.

I started the process above by using the suggested command 'git clone git://
anongit.kde.org/digikam-software-compilation' , copying to a new directory
I'd made.

After the install, I ran the launchctl DBUS commands and rebooted the Mac
(this had been necessary before when using the MacPorts version).

Here, I have to confess my ignorance; I've not used 'git' before, and I was
actually expecting the above 'git clone' command to fetch me the latest
'production' version,  however when I start Digikam (from  a terminal) the
splash screen shows  2.6.0 not 2.5 so I guess I'm getting the development
version.

I can't really tell much more than that since I never get the main window
appearing as Digikam crashes.   I will reproduce the terminal output below.

I also tried 'Showfoto' - and that starts up and runs with no problems.
The splash screen for that also says 2.6.0, and the 'About' box gives the
version as   6715b8ee6e5ee44bef186a1f0e39bf46a50f5681<http://commits.kde.org/digikam/6715b8ee6e5ee44bef186a1f0e39bf46a50f5681>with
build date today and 'target: debugfull'.

The fact that Showfoto runs OK suggests that probably this is an issue with
Digikam + MacPorts, although as mentioned I've not used 'git' before so
anything is possible .....

I would be grateful to get some information -

1) Looking at the console log shown below, is there an obvious cause - (the
'too many open files' error seems similar to
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289330 but in my instance  DIgikam
never starts correctly at all)

2) I don't really wish to be 'bleeding edge',   what should I have done to
clone and build Digikam 2.5.0 not the development version

3) How can I clean things up from this build, and either get to the stable
2.5.0 version - or at the very least update to the latest development
version - a bit of reading suggests that 'git pull' may do this?

Ideally I would prefer to be able to install the latest released version of
Digikam just by using MacPorts as I have other software installed using
that package manager  - however unfortunately Digikam rarely gets updated
on MacPorts so getting a working version with git too would be good.

Thanks in advance for any pointers - I appreciate I'm rather ignorant of
'git' and how it works at the moment.
