| | |
| This will allow you to test all the latest features that have not been published in the official releases or have not reached your distribution yet. Alternatively, you may want to check out the nightly built [https://neon.kde.org Neon] packages for kphotoalbum.

| ===Updating===

| ==Build==
| |
| ===Build dependencies===
| |
| If you've had KPhotoAlbum installed earlier from repositories, the Git KPhotoAlbum will use the same setting files as the earlier version.
| |
| If you want to be able to use the previous version after installing this, please do install to custom directory, not the default one.
| |
| | |
| Install required build tools:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>sudo apt-get install git build-essential</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Install required packages to build:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>sudo apt-get build-dep kphotoalbum</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED: Install other dependencies:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>sudo apt-get install kipi-plugins ffmpeg khelpcenter</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| ===Fetching source code===
| |
| Clone the Git repository:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kphotoalbum.git</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| ===Backup===
| |
| By using the latest GIT versions of KPhotoAlbum you risk losing your precious files. It shouldn't happen but you never know. This would now be an excellent time to run the backups - you've just downloaded a script to backup the KPhotoAlbum config files for you so keep reading! Your photos you already have backed up, right...?
| |
| | |
| ====Backup script====
| |
| KPhotoalbum source code has a backup script included. You can just simply run it after the sources have been fetched (script/kpa-backup.sh):
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>(script/kpa-backup.sh --backup
| |
| script/kpa-backup.sh --restore</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| ====Manual backup====
| |
| Create backup directory
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>mkdir kpa-backup</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Backup your settings:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cp -a ~/.local/share/kphotoalbum/kphotoalbumui.rc kpa-backup/
| |
| cp -a ~/.config/kphotoalbumrc kpa-backup/</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| And if you want to try KPhotoalbum with your real database (not the demo):
| |
| Backup your database:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cp -a /path/to/your/image/folder/index.html kpa-backup/
| |
| cp -a /path/to/your/image/folder/exif-info.db kpa-backup/</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Backup the layout of your Annotation dialog:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cp -a /path/to/your/image/folder/layout.dat kpa-backup/</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Building===
| |
| Move to the created directory
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cd kphotoalbum</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Create a build-directory (so you don't mess up you source directory)
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>mkdir build ; cd build</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Run cmake to configure the build system
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cmake .. </nowiki>}}[to install to the default directory]
| |
| OR
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/for/my/kphotoalbum/installation .. </nowiki>}}[to install to a custom directory]
| |
| OR
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebugInfo .. </nowiki>}}[to make the debug build that will output plenty of debug messages to help track crashes etc]
| |
| OR combine the options:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/kphotoalbum -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ..</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| See the messages. In this stage you'll be told if you have missing dependencies. Do fix them (try to find the missing packages from the package repositories) before continuing.
| |
| | |
| Run make:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>make</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| ===Installing===
| |
| Run installation(optional):
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>make install</nowiki>}}
| |
| or if the installation path is not writable by your user:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>sudo make install</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| ===Running===
| |
| | |
| A handy feature of the cmake build-system is that it builds binaries in such a way that you can start them from within the build system. This certainly handy for quickly testing a new version of KPhotoalbum without touching anything else on your system.
| |
| However, be aware that some features depend on hard-coded paths (e.g. menu-entries, Handbook, HTML Exports, Demo) and may not work as expected. These features will still use the files installed by the distributions version of KPhotoAlbum.
| |
| You can just try out KPhotoalbum without installation first, and install later on (see 2.4), if you decide so.
| |
| | |
| If you installed to a non-standard directory, you have two options:
| |
| 1a) Start KPhotoAlbum from the directory where it was installed:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>/path/for/my/kphotoalbum/installation/kphotoalbum</nowiki>}}
| |
| OR
| |
| 1b) add the following line to /home/username/.bashrc so you can start KPhotoAlbum from anywhere:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>export KDEDIRS=/path/for/my/kphotoalbum/installation</nowiki>}}
| |
| Restart your terminal (so that .bashrc gets executed)
| |
| | |
| 2)Start KPhotoAlbum:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>kphotoalbum</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| It's always a good idea to first try out things with the demo-database. Just add "--demo" when starting KPhotoalbum:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>kphotoalbum --demo</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| ===Hints & Tips===

| ==Rebuild==
| |
| ===Updating the source===
| |
| In the kphotoalbum Git folder, pull the changes:
| |
| {{Input|1=<nowiki>git pull</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| If you want to see what has changed try git log or qgit for graphical user interface
| |
| | |
| ===Rebuilding===
| |
| You normally don't have to run cmake again -- it will be invoked by the makefiles, if neccessary. Otherwise follow [[#Building]]
| |
| | |
| ===Reinstalling===
| |
| Follow the instructions at [[#Installing]]
| |
| | |
| ===RUNNING===
| |
