Shotwell on CentOS?
I'm looking for a good photo manager. Both digikam and shotwell look like good candidates, but since I am using gnome I would like to give shotwell a shot.
According to their website I need to build this on my own because Centos is not on their list of downloads available. They then go on to list all the dependencies. Shotwell's dependencies include: gconf-2.0 (2.22.0) gee-1.0 (0.5.0) gexiv2 (0.2.0) gio-unix-2.0 (2.20) glib-2.0 (2.26) gmodule-2.0 (2.24.0) gstreamer-0.10 (0.10.32) gstreamer-base-0.10 (0.10.32) gstreamer-pbutils-0.10 (0.10.32) gtk+-2.0 (2.18.0) gudev-1.0 (145) libexif (0.6.16) libgphoto2 (2.4.2) (Note that 2.4.6 has a bug that prevents Shotwell from fetching EXIF metadata before importing a photo.) libraw (0.9.0) libsoup-2.4 (2.26.0) libxml-2.0 (2.6.32) m4 (1.4.13) sqlite3 (3.5.9) unique-1.0 (1.0.0) vala (0.11.7) webkit-1.0 (1.1.5) After about the first couple I realized most if not all of them are not going to be in my default repos. So does this mean I need to go through and download each one manually from the links they give before building from tar or is there a repo I can add and then install from terminal? |
Shotwell version 0.2.0 will work on the Fedora 12 based CentOS 6, I guess :
Shotwell-0.2.0 works on Fedora 12. Later Shotwell's require glib / gtk versions, not available for CentOS 6. ( 500..600 applications depend on the installed versions : Gnome may not work OK if later glib / gtk is installed.) CentOS 5 : Not much chance, unless you build a static version on a later Linux OS. . |
