Installation of fotoxx from source tarball Building fotoxx requires the following packages: g++ or clang++ C++ compiler and linker libgtk-3-dev GTK3 graphics library (GUI base) libtiff-*-dev tiff image files libpng-*-dev png image files libjpeg-*-dev jpeg image files liblcms2-*-dev color spaces (sRGB/Adobe-RGB) libchamplain-gtk-*-dev geomapping library libclutter-gtk-*-dev graphics library libraw RAW file conversion library At run time the following packages are also needed: exiftool read/write metadata (EXIF etc.) binutils GNU binary utilities firefox or chromium web browser The above are recent Debian names. Package naming is chaotic, so you may have to to hunt the names for other Linux flavors. Build and install fotoxx as follows: 1. Download the tar file (fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz) 2. Open a terminal window 3. $ cd Downloads # go to download file 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 ... Fotoxx is easy to use but unconventional, so please review the user guide (menu Help > User Guide) before trying fotoxx. The optional fotoxx_maps package may be installed afterwards. This is only useful if you have a poor internet connection. FOR PACKAGE BUILDERS: If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr. If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX. Please, DO NOT make a separate package for the all-arch parts.
