1 A number of binary packages of KPhotoAlbum is available from the home page at
2 http://www.kphotoalbum.org. You may want to have a look there before
3 proceeding compiling the sources yourself.
5 ========== prerequisites ==========
7 KPhotoAlbum supports different features which are realized using
8 external packages. All those packages are not strictly needed -
9 KPhotoAlbum can be build and will run without them, but the
10 corresponding features depend on them.
12 = "kipi" Plug-ins Support
13 You may among other things find plug-ins for:
14 - Writing images to cds or dvd's
15 - Adjusting timestamps on your images
16 - Making a calendar with your images in it
17 - Uploading your images to flickr
18 The plug-in library is called KIPI, and may be downloaded from the
19 KIPI Home page (http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kipi)
22 Images store information like date image was shot, angle it was shot
23 with, focal length, and shutter time in what is know as EXIF
26 KPhotoAlbum uses the EXIV2 library (http://freshmeat.net/projects/exiv2)
27 for reading EXIF information from images.
29 = SQL Database Support
30 KPhotoAlbum allows you to search using a certain number of EXIF
31 tags. For this KPhotoAlbum needs a Sqlite database. Unfortunately, for
32 this to work, you need to run Sqlite version 2.8.16, so please make
33 sure that the right version is installed on your system.
34 (you can get it from http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-2.8.16.tar.gz)
35 You can use CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to direct configure to an alternative
36 place for this version of sqlite
38 > export CPPFLAGS="-I/.../sqlite2.8.16/include"
39 > export LDFLAGS="-L/.../sqlite/2.8.16/lib"
42 In addition the qt package for sqlite (e.g.qt-sql-sqlite) must be
45 ========== Installation: ==========
47 To install KPhotoAlbum into your normal KDE setup, simply run
52 If you want KPhotoAlbum placed in a different directories take the following
53 steps. Below I assume /opt/KPhotoAlbum for your instalation direction, replace
56 ./configure --prefix=/opt/KPhotoAlbum
60 Next modify your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or whatever to include this line:
61 export KDEDIRS=/opt/KPhotoAlbum:$KDEDIRS
63 You can check the status of the different features using
64 KPhotoAlbum Feature Status from the Help menu when running KPhotoAlbum.
67 In case of problems, please refer to the README file for further instructions.
