OK, so it seems that doing "sudo cmake...." was part of the solution. That resulted in a completed log with no errors. But I'm still on the same version I was on before. 2.7.0 (and no string of characters after it, like I've seen in other people's screenshots). Which makes me think I have not refreshed from git correctly. I've issued this command:
git clone https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable.git The tail end of which shows: release-2.6.0rc0 release-2.6.0rc1 release-2.6.0rc2 release-2.6.1 release-2.6.2 release-2.7.0 This makes me think I'm not seeing the daily builds. Do I need some other git clone command in order to see the daily versions? Sorry for sounding like a complete noob. It's just that I'm a complete noob. :) Cheers, Bruce Williams ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Druuna <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Oct 7, 2019 at 9:20 PM Subject: Re: [darktable-user] Struggling here... To: <[email protected]> Hi Bruce, Just to make sure: Are you running these commands as root or as a normal user? The cmake and make steps should be run as normal user, the make install step as root. The whole thing could be done as root, but that would be a bad habit :-) I would expect a "permission denied" message to show up somewhere if you tried running make install as a normal user. Just had a look at /opt/darktable: All files and dirs should be owned by root:root. About the installed dev version: Most of the time I overwrite, every so often I completely clean out /opt/darktable to start fresh. Hope this helps. Jacques.
