Building Darktable Stable 4.6.x-branch with Linux Mint 21.2 (based on Ubuntu 22.04) ??

Software darktable

Hi there,
following the release of darktable 4.6, (GREAT STUFF!!) I am currently looking into building the release based on the 4.6.x branch on my Linux Mint 21.2 system.

I tried to install the dependencies as far as I understood, did fetch the branch (based on Building stable 4.6 release on Ubuntu 23.10 (I have master branch running) - #8 by tankist02).

Unfortunatelty, I quite immediately run into an error when trying to build:

"CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
Could NOT find OpenMP_C (missing: OpenMP_C_FLAGS OpenMP_C_LIB_NAMES)
(Required is at least version “4.5”)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
/usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/FindOpenMP.cmake:544 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
CMakeLists.txt:90 (find_package)
"

So I guess, I have not yet suitable openmp-stuff?
Any ideas what I would need to install in Mint 21.2, to get darktable build?

Thank you very much for any idea.
All the best and a very nice xmas, Martin

In am not on Mint but on PopOS - Ubuntu 22.04 based.

My understanding is that there is no build for 22.04 even for DT 4.4 because the dependency changed.
I use ready packages and Flatpak works well for now.

OBS has 22.04

This is a very nice surprise! I already moved to flatpak however. But it also gives hope to @DerMartin - somebody with more knowledge than me would be able to help.

Hi,

yes, the OBS repository is, what I am currently using. Works fine, but I would like to be able to use potentially current version of the release branch.

Well … Perhaps its this time of the year again, to do some distro-hopping … :joy: :rofl:

Current master is also available on OBS.

Thx, I know.
But as said, I am looking to build the 4.6.x branch, rather than the Master. But OBS is fine currently …
