This files describes how to install digiKam software compilation from
the git repository, while keeping a system-wide digiKam software compilation
install.
This procedure is based on the boostrap script boostrap.local
1. Set the root directory for your git install in boostrap.local (DIGIKAM_INSTALL_PREFIX variable)
2. If you want a clean build directory, set CLEANROOT to 1
3. Type the following command in your terminal:
$ ./boostrap.local # or "./bootstrap.local --eclipse" if you intend to use Eclipse
$ cd build
$ make
$ make install
$ KDESYCOCA="/your/root/directory/var/tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca5" kbuildsycoca5
To run digikam, use the following commands:
$ export KDESYCOCA=/your/root/directory/var/tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca5
$ export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/your/root/directory/lib64/plugins:/your/root/directory/lib/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH
$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/your/root/directory/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
$ /your/root/directory/bin/digikam
The same applies for all binaries in /your/root/directory/bin/
If your shell is bash, you can edit your .bashrc file (in $HOME) and add the follwing alias:
DIGIKAMROOT="/your/root/directory"
alias digikam-dev="KDESYCOCA=\$DIGIKAMROOT/var/tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca5 XDG_DATA_DIRS=\$DIGIKAMROOT/share:\$XDG_DATA_DIRS QT_PLUGIN_PATH=\$DIGIKAMROOT/lib64/plugins:\$DIGIKAMROOT/lib/plugins:\$QT_PLUGIN_PATH \$DIGIKAMROOT/bin/digikam"
then you can start your newly installed digikam with
$ digikam-dev
