RawTherapee 5.9 released

Because I have to install from source (chromebook… it’s complicated…) and I simply do not understand git or its idiosyncracies I’m having to rely on the build-rawtherapee script to do the job - which it doesn’t because it hasn’t been changed from the dev stream. So it tells me there’s nothing to do and a string of instructions which I don’t understand…

Congratulations and thanks for your hard work!

Solution : wipe the rawtherapee code folder…

Except now it has wiped all existing RT installs and hangs on compiling…

@OldNick the easiest way forward is to delete your cloned repo and start anew. Assuming you cloned RawTherapee to ~/programs/code-rawtherapee then:

  1. Delete the repo:
    rm -rv ~/programs/code-rawtherapee
    
  2. Clone the repo again:
    git clone "https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee.git" ~/programs/code-rawtherapee
    cd ~/programs/code-rawtherapee
    
  3. By default the repo is on the dev branch. If you want to build 5.9 instead then switch to that tag:
    git checkout 5.9
    
  4. To compile just run the script with the -b flag (it prevents the script from doing anything other than compiling):
    ~/programs/code-rawtherapee/tools/build-rawtherapee -b
    

It could take 2 minutes to compile, it could take 30 minutes. Depends on your hardware and compilation settings.

Do not abort the compilation process if you think it “hangs”. It’s not hanging, it’s just working in the background.

If you run into any more problems, please open a new topic so we don’t hijack this one, and make sure to paste a log of all your console commands, as well as the full compilation log if there are issues compiling.

i tried several devices, but cannot register:

how to proceed?

@patdavid could you take a look at @marter 's issue?

I suspect that if @marter repeats his try by forcing http instead of https it may work. There is a similar issue for login.

@Thanatomanic good point, but this also didnt work…

Thank you very, very much!

Downloading the Windows version (RawTherapee_5.9_win64.zip) I realized that it’s magic:
The size is exactly 34243424 :wink:

Hi, happy to see that Raw Therapee 5.9 is out. Since the version for Mac is not yet available, could someone guide me to a build for Mac (M1) that allows me to edit compressed .CR3 RAW or .CR3 files taken with a Canon EOS R7 camera?
Thanks in advance.

let me a few days to set up a znver3 build.

Great, thank you very much for your efforts in providing these builds! :+1:

So great to hear of this release! Been too long away from RT and have really begun to enjoy raw image processing again.

Is there any hope of getting my OM-1 supported by RawTherapee which I love very much (up to now)? Thanks
