DIGIKAM - MANAGE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS LIKE A PROFESSIONAL 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. The image editor is extensible via plugins and,
since the digikamimageplugins project has been merged to digiKam core
since release 0.9.2, all useful image editor plugins are available
in the base installation.
digiKam can also make use of the KIPI image handling plugins to
extend its capabilities even further for photo manipulations,
import and export, etc. The kipi-plugins package contains many
very useful extensions.
digiKam is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group.

Note : all library dependencies require development and binary packages installed on your
computer to compile digiKam.
CMake compilation option de customized for digiKam:
Use CMake "-DENABLE_SCRIPTIFACE=on" flag to compile digiKam with experimental scripting interface (disabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_PRESENTATIONMODE=on" flag to compile digiKam with presentation mode (disabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_THUMB_DB=off" flag to compile digiKam without thumbnail database support (enabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_INTERNALMYSQL=off" flag to compile digiKam without internal MySQL server (enabled by default).
Use CMake "-DENABLE_ADVANCEDDEBUGMSG=on" flag to compile digiKam with more internal debug messages, especially in image loaders (disabled by default).

-- INSTALLATION --------------------------------------------------------
In order to compile, especially when QT3/Qt4 are installed at the same time,
just use something like that:
# export VERBOSE=1
# export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4
# 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 KDE3 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 'kde-config --prefix' command line like this (with full debug object enabled):
"cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`"
