[Digikam-users] Help building on OS X

[Viktor Hedefalk]

Hi,

I'm trying to get started with digiKam on OS X. I think the
instructions are a bit outdated and I could really use some help.

I first tried the macports installation. Everything went smoothly but
trying to start

/Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/digikam.app

it just crashes before any GUI is shown. I'll attach the thread dump.

However, I then noticed that this was an outdated version (3.x) so I
didn't research this any further but tried to build from source
instead.

So i cloned:

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/digikam-software-compilation dk

installed deps:

> sudo port -v install qt4-mac +debug
> sudo port -v install qt4-mac-sqlite3-plugin +debug
> sudo port -v install kdelibs4 +debug
> sudo port -v install kde4-baseapps +debug
> sudo port -v install opencv +debug
> sudo port -v install marble +debug
> sudo port -v install oxygen-icons +debug
> sudo port -v install sane-backends +debug
> sudo port -v install libgpod +debug
> sudo port -v install libgphoto2 +debug
> sudo port -v install lensfun +debug
> sudo port -v install liblqr +debug

> ./download-repos
> ./bootstrap.macports

This seemed to go OK:

"--  digiKam can be compiled.................. YES"

Then
make install

which also succeeds and

sudo make install/fast

I then also ran:

> launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
> /opt/local/bin/kbuildsycoca4


Now it crashes with another failure. See attached log for 4.2.

I guess the most relevant part is the main thread:

I probably don't correctly understand the instructions and miss some
dependency or something.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Thanks,
Viktor
