Jan, In Macports, it sound like that MySQL driver is not available in libQt4. It's a run time dependency for digiKam. Mysql driveris a plugin in Qt4 in fact. It must be included in compilation rules of Qt4 with Macports package. Gilles Caulier You're right. By default the MySQL drivers will not be included in the Macports build of Qt4. But you can install the qt4-mac +mysql variant. Then the database connection test works for me (without recompilation of Digikam). I could add that dependency to the Port, but would prefer to make it not the default. I think, most people are quite happy with the sqlite default and don't want the time consuming rebuild of qt4-mac. Ideally one would compile Digikam without mysql support when installing without the mysql variant. Is there any cmake option which deactivates mysql support? Best, Jan Thanks Jan for the clarification. There is cmake option to disable mysql support. There is only a cmake check at configuration time. Which macports package i need to refer in my README.MACOSX tutorial, about mysql support ? https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/digikam-software-compilation/repository/revisions/master/entry/README.MACOSX Gilles Caulier Instead of using the as dependency automatically installed qt4-mac the +mysql variant has to be installed, i.e.: "sudo port install qt4-mac +mysql" Git commit c67b5bf864b290369ad45077e7c55afb1c2c6e26 by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 10/06/2012 at 12:44. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. add rules to install qt4 for mac with mysql plugin support M +1 -0 README.MACOSX http://commits.kde.org/scratch/mwiesweg/digikam-sc/c67b5bf864b290369ad45077e7c55afb1c2c6e26 Jan, Note that under linux, i can see that Qt4 mysql plugin can be installed separately than qt4 core. It's a run-time dependency, and it can be installed later than core package. Why not to do the same with macports ? Gilles Caulier I don't know. You would have to discuss that with the maintainer of the qt4-mac port. Hi all, I made a clean install with MacPorts and recompiled mysql after successfully installing Digikam 2.7. Everthing works instead of: - Missing filemanager - No Thumbs shown I used the maintenance tools but without success. I think the MacPorts Team might update the routines as Gilles recommended. Will you or can i close this ticket? Thanks for your support Mike PS: If you need a mac for testing, I think not everybody has one, I'd be glad to give a helping hand. |
