All library dependencies require development and binary packages installed on your
computer to compile &digikam;.
</para>

<para> 
Most likely your distribution vendor might already have packaged and provided these packages.

<sect1 id="compilation">                 <title>Compilation and Installation</title>

<para>
In order to compile and install &digikam; on your system, type the following in the base folder of the <emphasis>libkipi</emphasis> and <emphasis>digikam</emphasis> module distributions:

<screen width="40">
    <prompt>%</prompt> <userinput>export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1</userinput>

<title>Important Notes</title>

<para>
Stage 3 is required if you are installing libkipi/libkexiv2 in a non-standard location, and you must let pkg-config know about their paths.
</para>

<para>
More specific compilation and installation options can be passed to the <emphasis>configure</emphasis> script. Use <userinput>./configure --help</userinput> on the command line to view these options.
</para>

<para>
Use <emphasis>--enable-debug=full</emphasis> option with <emphasis>configure</emphasis> script for to provide a full information bug report.
</para>

<para>
Because &digikam; depends on <emphasis>libkipi</emphasis> and <emphasis>libkexif</emphasis>, you must build these libraries before you build &digikam;.
</para>

</note>

<para>
Since &digikam; uses autoconf and automake you should not have trouble compiling it. If you run into problems please report them to <email>digikam-users@kde.org</email>.
