[SOLVED] digikam 4.14.0 and kipi-plugins

hoodlum7 · 05-09-2016, 11:08 PM

It seems digikam 4.14.0 will not compile. The compile process bombs out on the kipi-plugin panaroma. It seems from my research a patch to flex 2.6.0 is required or an upgrade to flex 2.6.1.

Has anyone gotten digikam 4.14.0 with the panaroma plugin for kipi to compile on Slackware64-current? If so, did you have to patch and compile your local version of Flex or is there a patch for Digikam I cannot find?

if it is a simple as patching flex how do we let the Slackware folks know to patch flex?

hi Chris, welcome to LQ.

which SlackBuild are you using to build digikam?
it seems to me that it's not the newer script on SBo's master branch or the dedicated repository for current because on both these repositories the digikam.SlackBuild includes, since january, a specific fix for the newer flex.

I am actually using the digikam build scripts from 14.1. I did see discussion about a workaround on the web utilizing clang.

as I wrote above you shouldn't use scripts taken from a repository for stable (14.1) on current, you might have better luck building from a dedicated repository.

you can find informations on how to use one here and, now that things are getting ready for 14.2, here.

I had not realised I could get access to update slackbuild scripts. I had just strongly assumes git and rsync would very me chores if everything I could download from the website. However, with your previous post I was able to get the build to work. I had the lens patch and used the clang, but the builds still failed. So, I reverted from using clang.

Thank you for your help. I got the build done and I am now more enlightened
