Please nevermind my lack of experience and knowledge, but is there any way to install Rawtherapee 5.5 on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ running the current and fully updated version of Raspbian?
I have been using Rawtherapee 5.0 for a while now, but have no idea how to install version 5.5 - please help!
I did download the Appimage but trying to execute it (after changing permissions via chmod) only gives an error message.
Is there a way to get RT 5.5 running on my system?
Yep. Freezing could be caused by too little RAM when compiling on all cores. If you take the manual way omit -j [NUMOFCORES] from the make command. It might take ages on the Pi but shouldn’t consume all the memory.
I got it to install (5.6) using the automatic way after increasing the swapfile size @HIRAM (to the 2048 limit there seems to be?) - took very long, but I am stoked it worked out and I did not have to go the manual route.
All the best,
Alex
PS: tried the first few RAW conversion (XTrans files) - it is slow but does work without crashing so far!
Wow, I just visited the dpreview thread. You are indeed a brave person…
I have scaled down my travel kit to my wife’s discard Surface 3, and I’m using my own software to do it. I’m working a RPi 3 into my kit, but really just for tethering and batch-processing proofs.
@heckflosse Ingo, good find! Yeah, that’s me. I have been using a setup like this @ggbutcher for my multi-dayhikes in the Alps for the last year now (offline and off-grid mostly), with RT 5.0 though which never really seemed to work on the Pi in a reliable way for me (mostly crashing when trying to save conversions of larger DNGs) - RT 5.6 works MUCH better, now that I got it to install! (thanks again to the great community here). With 5.0 it was more about the storage aspect in the end.
Glenn, I wish I had your expertise to try and pull off something similar! Trying to get RT 5.6 onto my Pi pushed me beyond my personal limits allready though.
I had the set with me in Venice over the last days (without the Solar panel) and I find it to be a very useable (albeit slow on the processing end) travel solution too. Being a SigmaProPhoto “victim” ever since the SD10 came out helped develop a certain mindset when it comes to slooooow RAW conversion though.
I just tryed it on another 3B+ with Raspbian allready installed and running for a few months (with unchanged swap-file size), and it did crash trying to install (saying one of the packages could not be installed).
I will try with another clean install on another card later (first with the regular swap file, if needed with a manually maxed out swap file).
