Installation from sources under Linux

The pixel rendering engine of PhotoFlow is based on VIPS (http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk). You have to install a recent version of VIPS in order to compile PhotoFlow.

Once VIPS is set up and running, follow these steps to download and compile PhotoFlow:

  1. get master branch from GitHub:

    $ git clone https://github.com/aferrero2707/PhotoFlow.git
    

    or the development branch:

    $ git clone -b develop https://github.com/aferrero2707/PhotoFlow.git
    
  2. You need the following dependencies to build Photoflow: gettext, glib-2.x, libxml-2.0, pkg-config, swig, gtk-doc-tools, automake, gobject-introspection, gnu make, cmake, libtiff, libjpeg, libfftw3, exiv2, lensfun and gtkmm-2.x or gtkmm-3.x.

    PhotoFlow provides an helper script to simplify the building process; in order to use it you have to go into the "build" subdirectory and run the "build_all.sh" script:

    $ cd PhotoFlow/build
    $ bash ./build_all.sh
    

    This will not only compile photoflow, but also fetch and compile the right version of VIPS automatically.

  3. If all goes well, you can now open an image file with PhotoFlow:

    $ ./Release/bin/photoflow image_file_name
