[digiKam-users] The future of 6.0.0 bundles and C++11 support...

Hello Gilles
Here is the compilation guide:
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Centos
I have used it on openSUSE and have compiled ffmpeg without an issue.

Hi all, 
Yesterday evening, i tried to build 6.0.0 AppImage under CentoS 6.9 in 64 bits. I forget another piece which increase the compilation complexity : ffmpeg.
digiKam require ffmpeg 3.x. Centos has no ffmpeg rpm officially, excepted one contrib repo in Romania with a 2.x release outdated.
We have already a file in bugzilla to build digiKam +qtAv with a recent ffmpeg, in goal to be able to manage recent video containers as H265. So i must add rules to compile ffmpeg myself in the bundle, and it's a complex task. I cannot use static ffmpeg build here, as i need shared libs.
So, no way to build 32 bits AppImage bundles for the future...

And as Gilles remarked, you can always switch to compiling Digikam yourself.

Though that can get progressively more difficult if the distributions start

phasing out otherwise unused libraries Digikam needs.






chance are any 32 bits distro will have digikam. Only the appimage may be more difficult to find, but brand new functions often ask more of the hardware so needs more recent computer



on openSUSE, Tumbleweed is still proposed with 32 bits (although this may not be for anybody)
