Maybe @David_Tschumperle or others can shed some light?
I built the current cgilles/digikam-gmic-qt repository for digiKam 9.1. The plugin reports Libgmic version: 360, and inspection of the source confirms #define gmic_version 360 in gmicqt/gmic/src/gmic.h. The plugin is statically linked and does not use the system libgmic (4.0.3). Is the digiKam port intentionally pinned to the bundled G’MIC 3.6 sources, or is there a plan to synchronize it with the current G’MIC-Qt codebase?
Hello Mike.
@hdynamo (Gilles Caulier) is the manager of the digiKam project and the owner of the digikam-gmic-qt repository.
If anyone can answer your question, it’s definitely him!
Thanks @David_Tschumperle , I filed an issue on his github. Hope he picks it up there. And maybe its just me using a wrong branch in the repo or something as simple as that as his last maintenance shows March 12th so pretty recent.
[EDIT] I just read digikam-gmic-qt/UPDATE.md at master · cgilles/digikam-gmic-qt · GitHub so maybe he has already provided enough info for me to resolve this - just have to get my head around doing this on a manjaro host machine.
After some back and forth on github as well as some testing of the build instructions, Gilles has let me know he rebased/revised digikam-gmic-qt and updated it to use gmic version 4.0.3
Thanks to all involved for the help and direction!
Great news! Thanks @Mike_Bing and @hdynamo !
Nothing to thank me for really. Gilles did all the work, I was just tinkering a bit. But happy it worked and to be able to use gmic in digikam is absolutely awesome!
