digiKam - Professional Photo Management with the Power of Open Source
-- ABOUT -------------------------------------------------------------
digiKam is an easy to use and powerful digital photo management
application, which makes importing, organizing and manipulating
digital photos a "snap". An easy to use interface is provided
to connect to your digital camera, preview the images and download
and/or delete them.
The digiKam built-in image editor makes the common photo correction
a simple task. digiKam can also make use of the plugins to
extend its capabilities even further for photo manipulations,
import and export, etc.
digiKam is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

-- DEPENDENCIES -------------------------------------------------------
See the complete list of dependencies at this url:

CMake compilation options to custom digiKam:
Use CMake "-DENABLE_KFILEMETADATASUPPORT=on" flag to compile digiKam with KDE files indexer support (disabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_AKONADICONTACTSUPPORT=on" flag to compile digiKam with KDE Mail Contacts support (disabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_DBUS=off" flag to compile digiKam without DBus support (enabled by default - for Linux desktop only).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_MEDIAPLAYER=on" flag to compile digiKam with QtAV support (disabled by default).
Use Cmake "-DENABLE_APPSTYLES=on" flag to compile digiKam with widget application style support (disabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_OPENCV3=on" flag to compile digiKam source code using OpenCV3 instead OpenCV2 (disabled by default).
OpenCV3 support needs extra contrib modules package, especially 'face'
and 'legacy' components.
Mysql support options (experimental):
Use CMake "-DENABLE_MYSQLSUPPORT=on" flag to compile digiKam with MysSql support (disabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_INTERNALMYSQL=on" flag to compile digiKam with internal MySQL server (disabled by default).
Debug options:
Use CMake "-DBUILD_TESTING=on" flag to compile digiKam source code unit tests (disabled by default).
-- INSTALLATION --------------------------------------------------------
In order to compile, just use something like that:
# export VERBOSE=1
# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt5
# export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
# cmake .
# make
# sudo make install
Usual CMake options :
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX : decide where the program will be install on your computer.
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE : decide which type of build you want. You can chose between:
"debugfull". : for hacking. Include all debug information.
"debug".
"profile".
"relwithdebinfo" : default. use gcc -O2 -g options.
"release" : generate stripped and optimized bin files. For packaging.
Compared to old autoconf options:
"cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull" is equivalent to "./configure --enable-debug=full"
"cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr" is equivalent to "./configure --prefix=/usr"
More details can be found at this url: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/CMake#Environment_Variables
Note: To know KDE install path on your computer, use 'kf5-config --prefix' command line like this (with full debug object enabled):
"cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kf5-config --prefix`"
