Or more verbose instructions (already sent this off-list)... 1. Get build dependencies (see http://www.darktable.org/install/#source for the Ubuntu list).
2. Download/configure/install to /usr/local: # download git clone https://github.com/dtorop/darktable.git # configure (install to /usr/local, build with debug info) & build cd darktable ./build.sh --prefix /usr/local --buildtype RelWithDebInfo # install cd build sudo make install 3. Create temporary configure/library/cache files which don't interfere with the release darktable: mkdir ~/dt-dev ~/dt-dev/config ~/dt-dev/cache 4. Run darktable from the command line: /usr/local/bin/darktable --library ~/dt-dev/library.db --configdir ~/dt-dev/config --cachedir ~/dt-dev/cache This lets you build a separate library and keep a release version of darktable installed. To get rid of the version of darktable built from source: sudo rm -r /usr/local/bin/darktable* /usr/local/lib/darktable /usr/local/share/darktable On Fri, May 9, 2014, at 03:52 AM, Robert William Hutton wrote: > On 06/05/14 11:00, R S wrote: > > thanks very much for supporting x-trans users I use an E-X1.
