Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.3) OS: OS X It would be nice to have an easy to install package for DigiKam under MacOSX which would contain all the dependencies. It could be built using MacPorts project. There is an undocumented option to build a package with it dependencies in MacPorts: port mdmg digikam port mpkg digikam Problem: Mac Ports package seem to contain the hardcoded path for the installation, installing using such a package could break an existing mac port installation. A solution could be to build the whole mac ports using a special path for digikam which would not conflict with the standard macports path. Reproducible: Didn't try
Thanks Julien for the links to undocumented functions... Gilles Caulier
The problem with the mdmg method is that it includes all the reccursive dependencies of DigiKam including many dependencies which are only used to build Digikam or its dependencies... Julien
What the size of DMG archive in this case ? Gilles Caulier
The dmg is about 900Mo...
In fact, after reading the code it seems that the port mdmg command does not include the build dependencies, only the runtime dependencies. But the list of dependencies of digikam using macports is very large, in fact it is a larger set than digikam dependencies, here is the list: libgphoto2 dbus expat gettext libiconv ncurses ncursesw jpeg libexif libusb-compat libusb libtool liblqr glib2 zlib perl5 perl5.8 python_select kdegraphics4 qt4-mac openssl sqlite3 readline tiff libpng libmng lcms phonon kdebase4-runtime kdelibs4 bzip2 soprano clucene strigi libxml2 redland curl libidn curl-ca-bundle libxslt raptor rasqal mpfr gmp pkgconfig db46 libiodbc virtuoso cyrus-sasl2 pcre shared-mime-info giflib xorg-libsm xorg-libice xorg-xproto xorg-libX11 xorg-libXdmcp xorg-libXau xorg-libxcb xorg-xcb-proto python26 gdbm xorg-libpthread-stubs xorg-kbproto jasper openexr ilmbase libart_lgpl enchant aspell texinfo hunspell aspell-dict-en attica liblzma avahi libdaemon libglade2 fontconfig freetype gtk2 atk pango Xft2 xrender xorg-renderproto cairo libpixman gdk-pixbuf2 xorg-libXi xorg-libXext xorg-xextproto xorg-inputproto xorg-libXrandr xorg-randrproto xorg-libXcursor xorg-libXfixes xorg-fixesproto xorg-libXinerama xorg-xineramaproto xorg-libXdamage xorg-damageproto xorg-libXcomposite xorg-compositeproto dbus-python26 dbus-glib py26-gobject libffi py26-gtk py26-cairo py26-numpy fftw-3 py26-nose py26-distribute gcc44 atlas gzip intltool p5-xml-parser p5-getopt-long p5-pathtools p5-scalar-list-utils qca dbusmenu-qt qjson docbook-xml docbook-xml-4.1.2 xmlcatmgr docbook-xml-4.2 docbook-xml-4.3 docbook-xml-4.4 docbook-xml-4.5 docbook-xml-5.0 docbook-xsl grantlee shared-desktop-ontologies qimageblitz oxygen-icons hicolor-icon-theme exiv2 openslp bison m4 poppler openjpeg poppler-data djvulibre chmlib libspectre ghostscript xorg-libXt libpaper sane-backends gphoto2 popt kdeedu4 kdebase4 kdepimlibs4 akonadi boost mysql5-server mysql5 libical openldap icu gpgme gnupg pth libgpg-error libassuan ocaml openbabel cfitsio libqalculate cln gsl xplanet xorg-libXScrnSaver xorg-scrnsaverproto eigen gpsd kipi-plugins ImageMagick urw-fonts mesa xorg-glproto xorg-dri2proto xorg-libXmu opencv ffmpeg lame libvorbis libogg libtheora dirac cppunit schroedinger orc faac faad2 speex XviD x264 libvpx libsdl liboil libdc1394 libgpod libplist swig-python swig taglib py26-mutagen gdk-pixbuf So we need to simplify this. One solution could be to change by hand some port files to remove dependencies which are not needed for digiKam. Another solution could be to try working in the opposite direction, from digiKam. otool -L digikam gives a list dynlib. But I guess this is not enough to actually run digiKam. What about trying to link statically all libraries ? but we need some bin files such as kio, ... Julien
I'm running digiKam on both Linux and Mac OS, and installed digiKam 1.7.0 on Mac just a few days ago. The idea of modifying some Portfiles so that they have less dependencies sounds good and logical to me! In fact that's what I did, because a dependency ("atlas" and maybe also "akonadi" or "boost") did not compile. This is my "diff" for the kdelibs4 Portfile (just two lines changed, but much of avahi's large dependency tree removed): 36c36 < port:avahi port:qca \ --- > port:qca \ 59c59 < -DWITH_Avahi=ON \ --- > -DWITH_Avahi=OFF \ A problem with Macports is that it tries to be a consistent packaging system, like the one provided by Debian. So of course a Port has to depend on everything that it would automatically use, when detecting it in the "configure" phase. I once wanted to remove an "optional" kipi-plugins dependency (gtk1) from the kipi-plugins Portfile, but Ryan Schmidt, one of Macports project managers, clearly stated that this was not in line with the Macports policy: "It's not ok for ports to opportunistically use software that happens to be installed." http://trac.macports.org/ticket/25076 When creating a binary version of digiKam that installs in a directory like "/opt/digikam" (instead of "/opt/local") this concern would not matter, though, so ideally one would only have each Port depend only on what is really required to build (or to provide the desired functionality). This should greatly increase compile time, but it would also be a lot of work to maintain such a set of modified Portfiles. I'm not going to put much effort into this, as my old PPC system is too slow for compilation tests. Anyway Macports' support for Mac OS 10.5 will probably end soon after 10.7 is out this year, and I'm not going to buy an Intel Mac (or any Intel computer - but no political discussion here).
Julien, I found that Darktable use macport to release a DMG image for MACOSX. Darktable use also Cmake. There is a release script in this folder : http://darktable.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=darktable/darktable;a=tree;f=packaging/macosx;hb=HEAD The most important script is make-app-bundle, written in BASH. Look like it can be adapted to digiKam. Only the list of shared libs used by digiKam must be updated in this script. Note that darktable work like me : i never use macports to install digiKam package as well, but i install all depencies through macports, and i checkout code from KDE repository, and compile/install against macport dir...

Guys, any progress on that one? I guess it's the most - indeed the most beneficial area. There are many photographers which could benefit from it. They're not DEVs nor QEs by nature, but they could be - or they can spread the word & bring these people eventually to the project. As was already mentioned above - DarkTable are delivering DMG archive. I'm not DEV, but I can help with testing (on Mavericks & Yosemite). I just don't want to mess up my system with cumbersome mac ports. I tried in past and I won't repeat it ever again.

Awesome! Very happy to see this, will try it ASAP :)
Thank you! However, I get "LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /opt/digikam/Applications/KDE4/digikam.app." upon opening. Also tried removing /opt/digikam and reinstalling, no change.
