Getting excited about Darktable 2.7...

ambient_fridge · September 26, 2019, 12:03am

…but I just cannot install it, 2.7 from source that is.

I figured you’re a wonderful bunch here and I’ll ask if anyone knows why I can’t quite get it right

I read about the LUT abilities of 2.7 and thought “How hard could it be to install it?”

Here is what I know thus far…

Fedora 30 Workstation
5.2.13-200.fc30.x86_64
x270 laptop

I had 2.6.2 (?) installed through the repositories that came with Fedora 30 and it worked a treat

I then downloaded:

darktable-2.7.0~git1850.830bd3867-1571.1.src.rpm
darktable-2.7.0~git1850.830bd3867-1571.1.x86_64.rpm
darktable-release-2.7.0.tar.gz

I then used command rpm -ivh for the src rpm

Seems OK but when I try sudo dnf install darktable I get…

[and@localhost Downloads]$ sudo dnf install darktable

So I try rpm -ivh on the smaller rpm and get…

[and@localhost Downloads]$ sudo rpm -ivh darktable-2.7.0~git1850.830bd3867-1571.1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

Pretty lost at this point so I tried the tar.gz from Release release-2.7.0 · darktable-org/darktable · GitHub

I unzip to home/darktable/darktable-release-2.7.0 and run ./build.sh

Output of above command is all follows:

*[and@localhost darktable-release-2.7.0]$ ./build.sh *

I am now well and truly, absolutely lost, out of my depth or just hang out with 2.6.2 (currently uninstalled, don’t ask) until the friendly folks make a 2.7 release.

I plead here with the good people at pixls.us to not ‘do it for me’ but perhaps why it may not be working for me and other avenues I can go down to attempt at getting 2.7 installed.

Thanks in advance

I’ll try to post here today all the commands I used to compile darktable on Fedora 30. There are a lot of packages to install.

Thanks r3cov3r, I appreciate you helping a novice user.

@ambient_fridge
Have you tried installing via the OBS package?
Install package graphics:darktable:master / darktable

I use it on Debian,
I just download the Grab Binary Packages Direct link.
It supports Rawhide.
Haven’t used Fedora for years.

Thanks @ukbanko! I think I tried this roughly a week ago and had some issues, not this time though!

I think I was getting 404’d for the .repo address after I checked in a browser as to why it wasn’t working, hence my “I’ll just build it from source” debacle.

And thanks also to you too @r3cov3r, you’re very detailed list was next on the list to be tried.

@r3cov3r is darktable you use often or is it just to organise photos and some adjustments here and there?
I’m three or four years into using Linux as my only photography workstation and absolutely loving the programs and community.

Cheers

r3cov3r · September 30, 2019, 6:30am

Darktable is my main raw editor. For organising photos I use only directory structure on disk.

asn · September 30, 2019, 6:36am

dnf builddep darktable

Or just use

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/graphics:/darktable/Fedora_30/

ambient_fridge · September 30, 2019, 7:32am

Thanks @asn
The “builddep” command is new to me, learning everyday!
