Fotoxx Installation 1. Download the tar file (fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz) to Desktop 2. Open a terminal window 3. $ cd Desktop # go to Desktop 4. $ tar -xzf fotoxx-N.N.tar.gz # unpack tar to ./fotoxx 5. $ cd fotoxx # go there 6. $ make -B # build executable 7. $ su -c "make install" # install files 8. $ make launcher # desktop and menu entry Missing dependencies will cause error messages in step 6. Install these from your repository and repeat step 6. Step 7 installs application files in the default locations: /usr/local/bin/fotoxx binary executable /usr/local/share/fotoxx/ icons, translations ... /usr/local/share/doc/fotoxx/ user guide, README ... Root privileges are needed for step 7, so use su -c or sudo. If $PREFIX is defined, files go there instead of /usr/local. If $DESTDIR is also defined, files go to $DESTDIR$PREFIX. To change the location, do the following before step 6 (make): $ export PREFIX=/your/location If this is within your own directories, then root privileges are not needed for step 7. Step 8 is optional and installs a desktop launcher and a menu entry. The package xdg-utils is needed for this, and also to use the application's help menu. This is part of the Linux Standards Base (LSB) and is normally present by default. The program printoxx is needed to print image files from within fotoxx. Printoxx is a sister application available from the same web site as fotoxx: http://kornelix.squarespace.com/printoxx The program exiv2 is used to read the EXIF data that is commonly imbedded in images from digital cameras (exposure data, date ...). If you want access to this data, or if you want to add your own tags (search labels) to your images, you must install the exiv2 package. Otherwise these functions will simply not work. Please review the user guide (help menu) before trying fotoxx.
