Used app/library versions were digigam 0.10.0 & libgphoto2-2.4.6 and haven't had any problems/crashed yet.

But I did not compile the kipi-plugins, therefore these are currently missing. I have to see whether I get them compiled, too. There seemed to be problems, because cmake could not find ksane or so. If I get the whole SVN version running, I will think about writing an updated Howto for this version. Maybe I will even look into the port file format and create a port for macports.

Digikam 0.10.0 works, except that it crashes when I delete albums. Digikam 1.0.0 Beta 2 crashes directly after startup. :( But I just saw, what you problem may be: Older KDE versions in MacPorts used qt-kde, but the newest uses qt-mac. Therefore the correct cmake command is NOT: <code>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/opt/local/bin/qmake-kde .</code> BUT: <code>cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/local -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/opt/local/bin/qmake-mac .</code> I have already changed it above.

Since MacPorts as updated all KDE stuff to 4.2.4, you're screwed unless you haven't updated MacPorts. Luckily I have an older installation of OS X that has an older MacPorts installed... so I could get 4.2.0 versions installed... of course, if I ever now run 'sudo port -d selfupdate', I'll be screwed, as all KDE stuff will be upgraded to 4.2.4 & digiKam will crash. Sad. But I don't know what's broken in 4.2.4 so have no clue as to where to even begin addressing this problem...

The Macports version may have been updated since I wrote the tutorial. In fact this is very probable, because I have installed version 2.4.4. Therefore it should be possible to use the Macports version, now. Tonight I'll try to compile the SVN version (after I resolved all dependencies last week, but some optional libraries). gn, Jan No, I don’t know this for fact.

But gphoto2 mentions that there were only minor updates between 2.4.4 and 2.4.5. Do you know for a fact that digiKam *doesn't* work with gphoto 2.4.4? Thanks!

Concerning your question: Sadly, I do not know exactly what the first three programs do. But when I compiled Digikam I had to launch knotify4.app and kded4.app before launching digikam.app. Otherwise no thumbnails showed up. Maybe something changed in the Digikam oder kdeinit4.app code, so that those two programs are not necessary any longer. I would say, if as long as it works for you without knotify4.app/kded4.app do not start them. However, there is surely no harm in starting these programs. I have updated the KDE packages with MacPorts some day ago and this broke my own Digikam installation. Therefore I will soon recompile it from SVN. - Jan That are great news!

The only plugin that doesn't work yet is LensFun-- I've contacted the developer and he might be willing to work with me on getting LensFun to fully compile on the Mac. So... things are looking good. Quick question for you... you mention to run: 1. open /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kdeinit4.app 2. open /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/knotify4.app 3. open /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kded4.app 4. open /Applications/KDE4/digikam.app I see that kdeinit4.app is needed to read thru the directory structure on my hard drive when, e.g., selecting a directory for my images in digiKam (without it, digiKam can't read any of my directories), but digiKam seems to run fine without knotify4.app & kded4.app... what are these for and are they necessary? Thanks, Rishi Hi Jan,
