[Kde-imaging] build kipi-plugins on ubuntu

[Markus Schlichting]

Hi,
thanks for the fast reply.

With your help, I build  libkipi and with that I could build kipi-plugins.

Some headache came from opencv, which was too new on my box. With
opencv-2.4.2 opencv2/opencv.hpp seems to disappear. Downgrading to
2.3.1-7 solved this for the moment.

Due to the new version of libkipi, I was not able to use the plugins
with the previously installed digikam, so I built it from the sources.

But with digikam build by myself, it doesnt find the plugins and thus
doesn't provide me and entry in the export menu.

Where can I look further?

Fair enough, it was just the first I found, I'll use the repositories
within kde.org, thanks for pointing me there.

I'm sorry for the confusion, but I got confused while searching for kipi
as well:

* http://sourceforge.net/projects/kipi/ looks outdated (latest update:
2011-02-28). The description links to http://www.kipi-plugins.org/
which does not exist.

* http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kipi/ looks very much outdated.

* The Readme (i found in the github repository) points to
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/kipi-plugins/index.html
- which is Revision 0.1.3 (2008-02-13).

I'm not pointing out to blame anyone but to suggest to include the
project homepage (digikam.org) *and* the project home at the beginning
of the readme files and rework paged like the sourceforge and on
extragear.kde.org. I would be happy to volunteer with that.

I found the the structure of the readmes already very good and readable,
only those multiple sources confused me a bit ;)


thanks a lot
cheers
 Markus
