Installation of fotoxx from source tarball Building fotoxx requires the following packages: g++ the Gnu C++ compiler and linker libgtk3.0-dev GTK3 graphics library (GUI base) libtiff*-dev read/write tiff-8/16 image files libpng*-dev read/write png-8/16 image files liblcms*-dev change color space (sRGB/Adobe RGB) At run time the following packages are also needed: exiftool read/write metadata (EXIF etc.) dcraw convert camera RAW files to TIFF xdg-utils LSB standard Linux utilities binutils GNU binary utilities The above are recent Debian names. Package naming is chaotic so you may have to to hunt down the names for your distro. Build and install fotoxx as follows: 1. Download the tar file (fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz) to Desktop 2. Open a terminal window 3. $ cd Desktop # go to Desktop 4. $ tar -xzf fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz # unpack to ./fotoxx 5. $ cd fotoxx # go there 6. $ make # build program 7. $ sudo make install # install program Missing dependencies will cause error messages in step 6. Install these from your repository and repeat step 6. Step 7 moves all files to the following locations: /usr/bin/fotoxx binary executable /usr/share/fotoxx/ icons, translations ... /usr/share/doc/fotoxx/ README, man page ... For step 7, use "sudo" or "su -c" for root privileges. Please review the user guide (Help menu) before trying fotoxx. NOTES FOR PACKAGE BUILDERS: If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr. If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX. exiftool (package name varies) must be version 8.60 or later. Please do not move any files into a separate "documentation" or "data" package. This would make Fotoxx non-functional.
