Hi, there is no possibility to import photos with digiKam on a windows machine. I've tried to get Gphoto2 recognizying the camera on a WIN7 system with a workaround - no success.
Therefore it would be really appreciated to include the import of photos within digiKam for windows.

Good news : the last stable libgphoto2 2.5.18 cross compile file with MXE for windows target. So i will include the library in next installer and recompile whole digiKam with gphoto2 support.

Marcus,

Did you already tried to cross compile libgphoto2 with MXE :

https://mxe.cc/

All digiKam + all dependencies + windows installer are build under Linux with MXE. there is no Windows at all to obtain the setup.exe...

In fact i would to know the exact options to pass to autoconf configure script from libgphoto2 to have suitable binaries for digiKam under Windows.

The scripts that we use to cross compile under Linux are all located here :

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/project/bundles/mxe

and the rules dedicated to compile libgphoto2 are here :

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/project/bundles/3rdparty/ext_libgphoto2/CMakeLists.txt

For this last file, the rules are shared between build script for AppImage, MacOS PKG and Windows installer bundle. In case of MXE, i need to tune the configure options for MinGW used in background.

i did not do any windows builds for/with libgphoto2/gphoto2, so i cannot help here

Hi Marcus,

With MXE, you don't need a Windows OS to compile libgphoto2/gphoto2.

All is done under Linux, from scratch. Here i cross compile digiKam + KF5 + qt5 + all required extra dependencies. This take 2 hours on my host computer, but at end, i can run the setup.exe to install whole digiKam under Windows >= 7.

MXE rock. Some libgphoto2 dependencies are already available, as libusb1 or gettext. Only libexif is not yet in MXE, but I'm sure that it can be compiled without difficulty as it support already MinGW.

If you help me to support MXE with libgphoto2, i will compile the digiKam windows installer with Gphoto2 support.

Hi all,

GPhoto2 camera drivers support under Windows will be added to next 7.6.0 release. See the story on bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398166
