\section setuplocaldev Setup Local Compilation and Run-Time
This section describes how to install digiKam from the git repository, while keeping a system-wide digiKam install.
This procedure is based on the configure script \b bootstrap.local
1. Set the root directory for your git install in bootstrap.local (DIGIKAM_INSTALL_PREFIX variable)
2. If you want a clean build directory, set CLEANROOT to 1
3. Type the following command in your terminal:
\code
$ ./bootstrap.local # or "./bootstrap.local --eclipse" if you intend to use Eclipse
$ cd build
$ make
$ make install
$ KDESYCOCA="/your/root/directory/var/tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca5" kbuildsycoca5
\endcode
To run digikam, use the following commands:
\code
$ export KDESYCOCA=/your/root/directory/var/tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca5
$ export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/your/root/directory/lib64/plugins:/your/root/directory/lib/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH
$ export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/your/root/directory/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
$ /your/root/directory/bin/digikam
\endcode
The same applies for all binaries in /your/root/directory/bin/
If your shell is bash, you can edit your \b .bashrc file (in $HOME) and add the follwing alias:
\code
DIGIKAMROOT="/your/root/directory"
alias digikam-dev="KDESYCOCA=\$DIGIKAMROOT/var/tmp/kde-$USER/ksycoca5 XDG_DATA_DIRS=\$DIGIKAMROOT/share:\$XDG_DATA_DIRS QT_PLUGIN_PATH=\$DIGIKAMROOT/lib64/plugins:\$DIGIKAMROOT/lib/plugins:\$QT_PLUGIN_PATH \$DIGIKAMROOT/bin/digikam"
\endcode
then you can start your newly installed digikam with
\code
$ digikam-dev
\endcode
\section debugtraces Debug Traces At Run-Time
digiKam uses categorized logging at run-time. By default, all debug messages are printed on the console. To disable output, you can either
fine-grained control by using one or more logging categories listed below.
Note: under Windows, to catch all debug messages you need to install an extra Microsoft application named DebugView available at this url:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx
\subsection Enable Logging Using an Environment Variable
You can set the environment variable \b QT_LOGGING_RULES. Rules are divided by semicolons.
E.g. you can start digiKam like this on the commandline with thumbnails and core database messages disabled:
\code
export QT_LOGGING_RULES='digikam.thumbsdb=false:digikam.coredb=false'
digikam
\endcode
\subsection digiKamloggincat Logging Categories in digiKam
All loggin categories are listed in \ref digikam_debug.cpp source code.
\subsection moreaboutloggincat Further Reading
For more details see the Qt framework documentation about loggin categories available at this url:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qloggingcategory.html#details
\section cmakecompilrules Cmake compilation rules
\subsection cmakeintro Introduction
The whole project is written mostly in C++/Qt and the Cmake framework is used to compile under Linux, MacOs, and Windows.
The Cmake rules have been configured to reduce the linking overhead and improve CPU utilization with modular design.
Independent Cmake configuration is presents in following folders:
- root source dir
- core
- extra
- doc
The Cmake rules for the core component will link the following executable:
- digikam
- showfoto
- digikam database server - if compilation is enabled in cmake files
- various test executables - if testing is enabled
Each of them depend on various sources which must be compiled before.
A complete description of source code direction is given to the sourcedirs section.
\subsection cmakeimpldetails CMake Implementation Details
\subsubsection includedirs Include Directories
Local include directories are all managed by this snippet of code:
\code
set(DK_INCLUDES_ALL "")
HEADER_DIRECTORIES(DK_LOCAL_INCLUDES_RAW)
\endcode
The libjpeg- folders are all included, so we need to delete them all and include the correct one only:
\code
# This macro will set all paths which do not containt libjpeg-
# We will add later the directory we need
FOREACH(var ${DK_LOCAL_INCLUDES_RAW})
STRING(REGEX MATCH "libjpeg-" item ${var})
IF(item STREQUAL "")
LIST(APPEND DK_LOCAL_INCLUDES ${var})
ENDIF(item)
ENDFOREACH(var)
set(DK_LOCAL_INCLUDES ${DK_LOCAL_INCLUDES}
libs/jpegutils/${DIGIKAM_LIBJPEG_DIR})
include_directories(${DK_LOCAL_INCLUDES})
\endcode
There is no need for manual intervention to add new includes, even if you add a new folder, just keep in mind to use:
\code
#include "tagmngrlistitem.h"
\endcode
instead of :
\code
#include "models/tagmngrlistitem.h"
\endcode
\subsubsection sharedlibs Shared Libraries
To avoid linking overhead and make a better use of sources there are some dynamic libs as these one:
- digikamcore : core components used by almost all executables as digiKam and Showfoto.
- digikamdatabase : database components, also used together with digikamcore but only for digiKam
Please add sources to digikam core or digikam database only if they don't depend on any big component
from digikam main executable. These two shared libs must be kept small because they link in a lot of places
\subsubsection staticlibs Static Libraries
Currently cmake configuration features a lots of shared libraries as:
- metadataedit
- geolocationedit
- digikamfaceengine
This libraries are linked in digikam main executable and some tests tools.
Avoid making static libraries if possible, and use OBJECT libraries instead.
Only make STATIC libraries which does not depend on other digikam code.
Also make sure you put the PRIVATE parameter when setting the target_link_libraries.
\code
target_link_libraries(digikamcore
PRIVATE
Qt5::Core
Qt5::Gui
Qt5::Widgets
)
\endcode
\subsubsection objlibs Object Libraries
While static libraries are still collection of objects, CMake offer a better approach by
allowing to specify an OBJECT library:
\code
set(libslideshow_SRCS
slidetoolbar.cpp
slideosd.cpp
slideproperties.cpp
slideimage.cpp
slideerror.cpp
slideend.cpp
slideshow.cpp
slidehelp.cpp
slideshowsettings.cpp
)
add_library(slideshow_src OBJECT ${libslideshow_SRCS})
\endcode
OBJECT library is a cmake internal implementation feature and allow to easily manage sources.
Here is an example of how to make a shared lib using OBJECT libraries:
\code
add_library(digikamcore
SHARED
$<TARGET_OBJECTS:slideshow_src> # the lib we made few lines above
$<TARGET_OBJECTS:digikamdatabasecore_src>
$<TARGET_OBJECTS:dimg_src>
....
)
\endcode
\section codecontrib Contribute To The Code
This section's purpose is to guide contributors and developers to help on the
digiKam project.
\subsection startopensource Starting With Open-Source
Before to contribute to digiKam project, please take a look to this link
which provide 10 golden rules for starting with open source project:
http://schlitt.info/opensource/blog/0541_10_golden_rules_for_starting_with_open_source.html
\subsection codeformat Source Code Formatting
Adhere to this style guide strictly while adding new code to digiKam or
working on existing code.
\subsubsection indentlength Indentation length
Indent with 4 spaces exactly.
for eg:
\code
void function()
{
....int a; // 4 spaces from beginning
....for (int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; ++i) // 4 spaces from beginning
....{ // 4 spaces from beginning
........a = i; // 4 spaces from previous indent block
\endcode
Emacs by default will indent to 4 spaces
vim users add this to you .vimrc
set tabstop=4
\subsubsection tabsspaces Tabs vs Spaces
Absolutely no tabs. Use a sensible editor which will convert tabs to spaces.
This will reduce unnecessary changes in your cvs commits.
Emacs by default will convert tab to spaces.
For vim users, add this to your .vimrc
set expandtab
\subsubsection linelength Line length
Line length should never exceed 80 chars (unless really necessary - these
cases are rare). Having long lines greatly reduces readability of code
\subsubsection bracketing Bracketing
In all cases, {} brackets should start on a newline and should be
aligned with previous line (follow the indentation spaces). for eg.
\code
class A
{ //new line
...
for (int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; ++i)
{ //new line
if (a == foobar)
{ //new line
...
}
else
{ // new line
..
}
\endcode
\subsubsection accessmod Positioning of Access modifiers
public, private, protected, public slots, ... should be aligned to the
beginning of the line with no margin
\code
class A
{
public: // aligned to left
...
private Q_SLOTS: // aligned to left
\endcode
Follow a consistent order in defining these attributes. The recommended
order is public, protected (functions), private (functions),
signals, public slots, protected slots, private slots, private (variables)
\subsection itemsnames Class, file and Variable names
\subsubsection classfilenames Class and filenames
- filenames should always be in lower-case
- class names should match the filenames. Capitalize the first letter and
other letters logically to improve readability
\subsubsection protectvars Protected Member variables
- protected member variable names should always be of the form m_varName.
- Capitalize logically so that it becomes easy to read it. Do not capitalize
the first letter after _ (Use m_varName not m_VarName)
- variable names should be indicative of their functionality and also of
the type they belong too if they are instances of qt widgets.
for eg, QCheckBox* m_autoRotateCheckBox;
\subsubsection nomembvars Non-Member variables
- non-member variables should follow the same naming convention as the member
variables, except for the leading m_
\subsubsection privmembvars Private Member variables
- private member variables must be stored in a d private container to reduce
compilation time and improve binary compatibility between digiKam components.
See more information how to use a 'd' private class at this url:
http://developer.kde.org/policies/librarypolicy.html
\subsection commentsspaces Comments and Whitespace
Use whitespaces liberally to improve readability. Add blank lines between logical
sections of the code.
Comment as much as possible. Position comments at the beginning of the
section/line you want to comment, NEVER at the end of the line, excepted for special
cases for ex to describe enum values.
\code
// put your comments here
a = (b == foobar) ? 1 : -1;
a = (b == foobar) ? 1 : -1; // you are asking for trouble by putting comments here
\endcode
\subsection headerfiles Header Files
- Add copyright to top of every file. Use the same header than others digiKam
source code.
- Double inclusion protection defines are all upper case letters and are
composed of the classname and a H suffix separated by underscore
\code
#ifndef DIGIKAM_ANOTHER_NICE_CLASS_H
#define DIGIKAM_ANOTHER_NICE_CLASS_H
class AnotherNiceClass
{
...
}
#endif // DIGIKAM_ANOTHER_NICE_CLASS_H
\endcode
- Use forward declarations as much as possible.
\code
class QFileInfo;
class A
{
....QFileInfo* m_fileInfo;
\endcode
\subsection autocodeformat Automatic source code formatting
The above coding style guidelines can be automatically applied with
astyle (http://astyle.sourceforge.net/).
Run it in the directory where the files are located that should be formatted.
To apply the coding guidelines with astyle is to use the
fileformatter.py script in project/scripts directory. This script will also clean up the
source tree and remove backup files that had been created by astyle,
if the appropriate command line argument is given.
To handle the command easier, create a bash function in ~/.bashrc, e.g.
\code
dkfrmcode()
{
astyle --style=allman \
--indent=spaces=4 \
--convert-tabs \
--indent-switches \
--break-blocks \
--break-closing-brackets \
--pad-header \
--align-pointer=type \
--indent-col1-comments \
--add-brackets \
--min-conditional-indent=0 \
`find $1 -type f -name '*.cpp'` `find $1 -type f -name '*.c'` `find $1 -type f -name '*.h'`
}
\endcode
You can pass a parameter to the function, in this case the first parameter is the directory, where
files should be formatted.
Examples:
1. Run astyle in the current directory
\code
$> dkfrmcode
\endcode
2. Run astyle in a different directory
\code
$> dkfrmcode /home/user/code/git/digikam/
\endcode
\subsection generalrecommend General recommendations
Please take a look into this contrib page tips before to write code/patches for
digiKam project : http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute
Use the same .cpp/.h header than the rest of digiKam project.
Use a decent editor which does auto-indentation/syntax-highlighting for you,
as Kate or QtCreator
There are excellent initializer scripts in the kdesdk
package for xemacs and vim which can substantially increase your productivity.
Just to give a taste of what i can do with emacs (and kdesdk):
* automatically insert copyright (and ifdefs) in new files.
* insertion of class function definitions for declared class
functions in header with one keystroke
* switch between header and declaration files with one keystroke
* go to corresponding definition/declaration with one keystroke
* tab completion of variable/function names already declared.
\subsection gdbbacktrace GDB Backtrace
If you found a context to crash digiKam, you can provide a backtrace using GDB debugger.
digiKam need to be compiled with all debug info else the backtrace will not suitable.
There is a configure option for that:
\code
$> cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull
$> make
$> su
$> make install/fast
\endcode
To make a backtrace with GDB use following command:
\code
$ gdb digikam
> catch throw
> run
> ...
> _crash here_
> ...
> bt
> _the backtrace is here_
> quit
\endcode
Post this backtrace at the right place (Bugzilla or developement mailing list) for investigations by developers.
For Windows users, take a look on this tutorial :
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Debugging_on_MS_Windows
\subsection memleak Memory Leak
To check any memory leak problem in digiKam, valgrind is your friend (http://valgrind.org)
Try this command line to use with valgrind :
\code
valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --error-limit=no --suppressions=project/reports/digikam.supp digikam
\endcode
NOTE: digikam.supp file is available in digikam/project sub-folder.
\subsection profilingcode Profiling With Cachegrind
Valgrind also includes a tool to find out in which parts of your code time is spent.
\code
valgrind --tool=callgrind digikam
\endcode
Profiling can be disabled at startup to limit the output to the code you are interested in.
Start with
\code
valgrind --tool=callgrind --instr-atstart=no digikam
\endcode
and prepare the situation you want to profile. Then, in another console, start profiling with
"callgrind_control -i on" and, after the situation has passed, request a profile dump with
"callgrind_control -d".
The resulting callgrind.out files need to be viewed with the kcachegrind program, e.g.:
\code
kcachegrind callgrind.out.16693.1
\endcode
\subsection unittests Unit Testing / Automated Testing
Unit Testing is great way to ensure that software units (in OOP this normally
means classes) work as expected. Wikipedia gives a good introduction to
Unit Testing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing
It is also worth to follow most of QTTest API rules with digiKam:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtest-tutorial.html
The digiKam test suite is located under tests and will be compiled if
BUILD_TESTING is turned ON at cmake configuration time. After compiling the source code
the tests can be executed via
\code
make test
\endcode
The console output while running the tests is stored in
Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log in the CMake binary dir.
All tests are simple binaries that can be executed separately if needed.
