Compiling gphoto on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Here are instructions on how to compile a minimal gphoto build into /usr/local on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty desktop install:
# install dependencies and checkout gphoto source $ sudo apt-get install automake autopoint gettext libtool libusb-dev libpopt-dev subversion $ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/gphoto/code/trunk gphoto # compile libphoto2 and install into /usr/local/lib $ cd gphoto/libgphoto2/ $ autoreconf --install --symlink $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install # compile gphoto2 and install into /usr/local/bin $ cd ../gphoto2 $ autoreconf --install --symlink $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install |
In order to run ghoto with the version of libgphoto2 that you just built (as opposed to the one that came with Ubuntu 14.04), be sure to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /usr/local/bin/gphoto2 --version gphoto2 2.5.4 Copyright (c) 2000-2014 Lutz Mueller and others gphoto2 comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.
