[Digikam-users] unicode chars break xmp sidecars?

I see you do not install digikam from macports first, as README.MACOSX 
says to do.

Thanks to your transcript I can see all the compile dependencies, 
including the ones you thought of while you were bootstrapping... I will 
work through them later on.

Nice screenshot! I see it says dk 4.1.0. I am using:

git clone git://anongit.kde.org/digikam-software-compilation ./3.x

to download the source. Should I use something else to get the same 
version as you?

Thanks
Philip
