Compilation and Installation

In order to compile and install Showfoto on your system, type the following in the base folder of the libkipi and digikam module distributions:

    % export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1
    % export KDEDIR=KDE_installation_dir_on_your_system
    % export 
    PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/path/to/installation/lib/pkgconfig    
    % make -f Makefile.cvs
    % ./configure
    % make
    % su
    % make install

Important Notes

Stage 3 is required if you are installing libkipi/libkexiv2 in a non-standard location, and you must let pkg-config know about their paths.

More specific compilation and installation options can be passed to the configure script. Use ./configure --help on the command line to view these options.

Use --enable-debug=full option with configure script for to provide a full information bug report.

Because Showfoto depends on libkipi and libkexif, you must build these libraries before you build Showfoto.

Since Showfoto uses autoconf and automake you should not have trouble compiling it. If you run into problems please report them to (digikam-users AT kde.org).
