[SOLVED] Recent Digikam Slackbuild ?

bogzab · 04-10-2011, 03:15 AM

Does anybody have a Slackbuild script which delivers a version of Digikam more recent that 1.2 (which is what is on offer in Slackbuild.org) ? I have had that installed for some time and it works well (apart from geotagging which seems to be only partially developed) but the Digikam website has released 1.9 (stable) and 2.0 (quite advanced beta).

If anybody has successfully packaged any later versions for Slackware I would be grateful for information. Otherwise I will start building myself.

Thanks

I had no problems to compile 1.9 (didn't try 2.0beta though) in slackwarecurrent.
Just push the versionnumber in the slackbuildscript to the recent digikamversion.

Thanks for that update. Looks like current will become a release version very soon and at that stage I will probably upgrade and build the latest stable digikam version as you suggest.

I have installed digikam 2.0-beta4 for testing purposes in Slackware64 current. You need opencv (a newer version than on slackbuilds.org, but only you have to change the version number in the SlackBuild script) as an additional dependency, at least if you want to test the new face detection/recognition features. Since digikam now includes most other libraries in its source tarball chances are good that with a newer kipi-plugins, opencv and digikam itself you will be fine

You can find the digiKam 1.9 package and all the additional dependencies in this repository. http://www.slackers.it/repository/

Given that there are at least two solutions in the 6 posts to this thread, I have marked it as [SOLVED], although some of us might not implement until the 13.37 RCs have completed testing and 13.37 is released as the latest and greatest Slackware ever, which I think should be very soon. Thanks to providers of solutions- kr4ey and titopoquito.
