Trying to install Digikam 2.0.0

Hello Everyone,

I’m trying to do my first installation from source. I’m trying to install Digikam 2 in the hopes that it will run better than the current version I have installed. I’m using this guide here: He mentions that you may not have everything you need so expect to have to install things. This has been true for me. I’ve read the error messages and installed a few more packages. But there’s one I can’t figure out. Here’s the error message:

usr/src/packages/SOURCES/digikam-2.0.0>  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
If 'cmake' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf cmake
johan@linux-w6om:/usr/src/packages/SOURCES/digikam-2.0.0>  cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`

I did a search in YaST for sane and got some results, a few of which I installed since they seemed appropriate. There are others that don’t seem so, like sane-backends. But it still won’t run. What is the error message trying to tell me? Thanks in advance.

In the past I have followed this 'How-to-compile" and successfully compiled Digikam 2.

It is looking for the environment variables

SANE_LIBRARY and SANE_INCLUDE_DIR

Are you sure you have the devel (development) packages loaded for the sane dependencies?
For example: sane-backends-devel and libksane-devel

Once all the error messages for configuration are cleared, expect a lengthy compile.

You might also consider moving up to KDE 4.7.1 in the 11.4/KDE47 repo.
Digikam 2 is being actively maintained (updated) there.
This makes it must easier to stay up-to-date.

Thanks for the reply. I tried to upgrade to 4.7.1 but I don’t seem to have succeeded despite a lot of downloading. I’ll have to check it out later and find where things went wrong. Thanks again.

Thank you very much. It seems to have worked. I ran into some upgrade problems (dependency conflicts, but I’m hoping I’ve solved them now). Thanks again.
