All library dependencies require development and binary packages installed on your

Most likely your distribution vendor might already have packaged and provided these packages.
Compilation and Installation
In order to compile and install &digikam; on your system, type the following in the base folder of the libkipi and digikam module distributions:
% export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1
% export KDEDIR=KDE_installation_dir_on_your_system
% export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/path/to/installation/lib/pkgconfig
% make -f Makefile.cvs
% ./configure
% make
% su
% make install
Important Notes
Stage 3 is required if you are installing libkipi/libkexiv2 in a non-standard location, and you must let pkg-config know about their paths.
More specific compilation and installation options can be passed to the configure script. Use ./configure --help on the command line to view these options.
Use --enable-debug=full option with configure script for to provide a full information bug report.
Because &digikam; depends on libkipi and libkexif, you must build these libraries before you build &digikam;.
Since &digikam; uses autoconf and automake you should not have trouble compiling it. If you run into problems please report them to digikam-users@kde.org.
