[KPhotoAlbum] Snapshot works fine here

[Martin Höller]

Hi all! Hi Kiwi!

Just got to try the latest kphotoalbum snapshot and after I followed the
installation instructions _carefully_ I got it running smoothly. Here are
the observations I made:

- After installing the development versions of all the required packages
  (exiv2, kde, qt3) I got configure running with this big fat WARNINGS
  mentioned in the mail from  Rafael Beccar. The reasons seems to be the
  quite outdated exiv2 version (0.7) that ships with debian/unstable.

  I followed the instructions from Walter Francis and replaced all
  -fno-exceptions in configure with -fexecptions and that fixed it.

- Compilation went fine.

- As I didn't read the installation instructions carefully I started
  kphotoalbum without a 'make install' before. This lead to a crash at the
  first startup after generating the SQLite DB and many missing menu items
  on a subsequent running instance.

- After a 'make install' and the execution from the right place as
  described in the installation instruction on the homepage, everything
  worked fine. No crash, no missing menu items, no flickering when
  scrolling, just perfect!

- Only thing I noticed when starting it up as a different user without an
  existing index.xml was, that there is still a message, telling me about an
  old-version-configfile which could be a bit confusing for new users.

So the conclusion is: you did a good job Jesper! I'm looking forward to
see the final version!

- martin
