# Initialise the Submodules as per instructions in README
git submodule init

# Install Dependencies
# The general idea is to run the build command, i.e.:
#	"./build.sh --prefix /opt/darktable --build-type Release"
# and see which packages/libraries are reported missing, and to install them.
# However, the build script reports only missing libraries, so it is a little
# tedious to figure out the actual names of the package in the Ubuntu repo.
# This file serves as an aid to help with that.

# Note that you may not need all the libraries and hence you should not run this file en mass. You might also need other packages NOT listed here so YMMV.

# sudo apt-get install:
#	- build-essential
#	- cmake
#	- intltool
#	- xsltproc
#	- llvm
#	- libglib2.0-dev
#	- libgtk-3-dev
#	- libgtk-3-0
#	- libgtk-3-bin
#	- libpugixml-dev
#	- libpugixml1v5
#	- libxml2 libxml2-dev
#	- librsvg2-bin
#	- ruby-rsvg2
#	- libsqlite3-0
#	- libsqlite3-dev
#	- libgphoto2-dev
#	- libgphoto2-6
#	- liblcms2-dev
#	- libjson-glib-dev
#	- libexiv2-dev 


## NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL libjpeg- packages. It will conflict with other required stuff and cause a lot of broken stuff.

#Finally, once the build actually succeeds with no failures, install it using:
sudo -H cmake --build "/home/kabhijit/Source/darktable/build" --target install -- -j8

#Test by running:
which darktable
#This should now point to something like /opt/darktable/bin/darktable
