In order to compile and install Digikam on your system, type the following in the basedirectorys of the digikam3 and digikamplugins module distributions:
% export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 % export KDEDIR=KDE_installation_dir_on_your_system % make -f Makefile.cvs % ./configure % make % su % make install
More specifics compilations and installations options can be used with .configure script. Check it with ./configure --help command line.
Because digikamplugins module depend of digikam3 plugin interface, you must build digikamplugins module after the digikam3 module compilation and installation.
Some plugins can be disabled during the build process in digikamplugins module. Checked the end of 'configure.in.in' file and decomments the plugins lines corresponding. Then start the installation procedure.
Since Digikam uses autoconf and automake you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to <digikam-users@lists.sourceforge.net>
