haagon Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) Hello there! I'm trying to compile the wonderful kphotobook but it does'nt work: ./configure works fine but without explicit "run make now" message make comletes with 2 plain errors, no comment make install completes but no kphotobook available kphotobook.sourceforge.net gives the hint to add --prefix='KDE-installation-path' which is /opt/kde3, but there is nothing like kde3. Compiled with the prefix kphotobook creates some folders with icons and a DocBook-Help. A search with konqueror for "kde3" returns /usr/lib/kde, but this folder contains *.so- and *.la-files and a plugin-folder. Did anybody successfully compiled kphotobook? Where is kde3 installed? Are there rpm's already? PS: I'm using MDK 10.0 CE with installed Includes, which is neccessary for kphotobook.

chris:b Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) You should set: --prefix=/usr MDK does not use /opt/kde3 KPhotobook indeed looks nice :-) No rpm as far as I know, for 10.0 OE. But digikam is a killer application ;-) # urpmi digikam digikam-plugins Good luck! p.s. welcome on mandrakeusers.org Edited September 29, 2004 by anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) kphotobook.sourceforge.net gives the hint to add --prefix='KDE-installation-path' which is /opt/kde3, but there is nothing like kde3. i have never tried to install kphotobook, but i have run into this problem with other KDE apps. the above "hint" tells you to use the KDE installation path switch during install. but........ MDK installs KDE differently than alot of other distros, so the above "/opt/KDE" path will be incorrect. instead, try one of the following........... --prefix=/usr if that don't work........ --prefix=/usr/share or (if that don't work)....... --prefix=/usr/share/apps Chris Edited September 29, 2004 by chris z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haagon Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Thanks for your anser! You should set:--prefix=/usr Yup, i should, i did and i got: Good - your configure finished. Start make now So did i and got back my 2 errors: uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (3.3 vs. 3.2.3) make[3]: *** [settingstagtree.cpp] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/marx/kphotobook-0.0.6/src' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/marx/kphotobook-0.0.6/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/marx/kphotobook-0.0.6' make: *** [all] Error 2 Something with Qt? Or the Compiler? MDK 10.0 uses libqt-3.2.3-15mdk, does kphotobook use another one? PS: I'm tring DigiKam so far. Thanks. It's very fast.

chris z Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 it looks like the version of kphotobook you're trying to install was built against KDE3.3, which uses QT3.3. try going HERE & download & install the older version kphotobook-0.0.5.tar.gz.

haagon Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) it looks like the version of kphotobook you're trying to install was built against KDE3.3, which uses QT3.3. try going HERE & download & install the older version kphotobook-0.0.5.tar.gz. I have the same suggestion. I tried 0.0.5 but it's the same error. Mandrake 10.1 comes along with KDE 3.2.3, for Members - unlike me - KDE 3.3. Well, wait or pray? But how did others compile? Can i update KDE to Version 3.3? System reconstruction only for one application, this can't be the solution. So I use digikam, thanks Anna. And thanks chrisz!

chris:b Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 So did i and got back my 2 errors: uic: File generated with too recent version of Qt Designer (3.3 vs. 3.2.3) QT version and compiler should be okay. A possible fix was posted on kde-apps.org. In the /src directory there are 6 .ui files, each of them starting with a line: <!DOCTYPE UI><UI version="3.3" stdsetdef="1"> Replace in all files the version="3.3" with version="3.2.3" ... Wonder if this would do it. :unsure: And did you first: make uninstall and make distclean before starting a new compilation? As of kde 3.3. in MDK 10.1 - the rpm's not yet functional for MDK. And the 3.2.3 version is very good, what I can see on my test system, no need for 3.3. ;-) the biggest improvements were made in the kontact suite, and these rpm's are the 3.3. versions on 10.1.

Yup, that's it! A little bit tricky ... And did you first: make uninstall and make distclean before starting a new compilation? I did the uninstall-thing but not distclean, now i know ! Thanks Anna!

sitor Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 You might want to check out gthumb as well. It works perfect for me. Ciao, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haagon Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 You might want to check out gthumb as well. It works perfect for me. OK, urpmi gthumb .... well, nice app, but i like hierarchical tagging better. By the way, compiling kphotobook wasn't perfect: only title and boolean tags available. Maybe something with the make distclean thing. I'll try again with mdk 10.1 later. Ciao Haagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 hi haagon, would you mind building an rpm for kphotobook? It looks very nice, and I am new to Linux and Mandrake, and don't know how :unsure: _______ jonas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haagon Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 would you mind building an rpm for kphotobook?It looks very nice, and I am new to Linux and Mandrake, and don't know how :unsure: ______ jonas <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, i thought about it but i haven'n done it yet - and kphotobook is still not running complete. but compiling is not difficult: unpack the tar-archive change into the new directory, open a shell, type ./configure --prefix=/usr ,wait and watch, if you get something like *run make now* just type make, then become superuser and type make install. Give it a try! But if it fails, run make uninstall and make distclean, maybe its better... If i built a .rpm, i post a message.

haagon Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Well, Mandrake 10.1 was not the solution. Some other errors ... By the way, i switched to xfce4 and was looking for a gtk-based Pic-Browser. Sitor recommended gthumb, which is now my first choice. (But its still too slow and not enough drag'n'drop ...) Maybe someday there is a second chance for kphotobook ... Thanks Anna, Chris Z and sitor! Jonas, keep on trying! Bye, Haagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
