How to compile Digikam?

[Patrick Gerlier]

Hi all,

One of my Digikam DB has been corrupted and causes Digikam to seg-fault 
on open.

I want to track down the cause. I suspect one of the DB records has a 
field with an invalid value which sends Digikam in limbo when it tries 
to interpret it.

To check the DB is still globally in good shape, I have written a small 
Django app to display pictures with date, title and comment (this is the 
limit of my understanding of the DB schema). Everything appears on 
screen as expected. So the problem may be in the flags (they follow a 
complex hierarchical tree structure).

The simplest fix technique would be to recreate the DB from scratch, but 
it contains ~10k pictures with some comments coming from various other 
people, comments I don't remember in all details. And 10k is too much 
for me.

Therefore I want to trace Digikam (valgrind or other utility) to 
identify which record is causing the trouble.

I have downloaded the source tarball.But instruction to compile are not 
that clear. I launched /bootstrap.linux/ and I bump into dependency issues.

1- what are the needed (library) packages to install?

2- what is the official compiling procedure? (in other words, how to 
boot cmake?)

Thanks for any guidance.

Patrick
