Building F-spot from source – Continued

Following my past F-spot’s post about the errors I ran into while building from source. I want to share how Google helped me to find the solution for the last error message I mentioned.

jj@freya:: f-spot                                                           [~]
Starting new FSpot server

The error mentioned the GL DLL is missing, issue that is solved following the directions given in this mailing list message.

jj@freya:: locate f-spot.exe.config                                         [~]
/usr/local/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe.config
/home/jj/programas/f-spot-0.3.2/src/f-spot.exe.config
/home/jj/programas/f-spot-0.3.2/src/f-spot.exe.config.in
jj@freya:: view /usr/local/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe.config                     [~]
jj@freya:: sudo vim $_

Then adding the line:

<configuration>
  <dllmap dll="libglib-2.0-0.dll" target="libglib-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgobject-2.0-0.dll" target="libgobject-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll" target="libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgdk-2.0-0.dll" target="libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll" target="libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgnomevfs-2-0.dll" target="libgnomevfs-2.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libgnomeui-2-0.dll" target="libgnomeui-2.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libfspot" target="/usr/local/lib/f-spot/libfspot.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libfspoteog" target="/usr/local/lib/f-spot/libfspoteog.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="libfspotjpeg" target="/usr/local/lib/f-spot/libfspotjpg.so.0"/>
  <dllmap dll="X11" target="libX11.so.6"/>
  <dllmap dll="libXcomposite.dll" target="libXcomposite.so.1"/>
  <dllmap dll="liblcms-1.0.0.dll" target="liblcms.so.1"/>
  <dllmap dll="libexif.dll" target="libexif.so.12"/>
  <dllmap dll="GL" target="libGL.so.1"/>
</configuration>

After that, in order to complete my F-spot migration from my old Gentoo instalation to my new built one, I had to do the following:

$ cd ~/.gnome2/f-spot/
$ cp $OLDDIR/photos.db photos.old.db
$ sqlite photos.old.db
sqlite> .mode insert
sqlite> .output photos.sql
sqlite> select * from photos;
sqlite> .q
$ vim photos.sql
vim> %s/mnt.old.path/new\/path/g
vim> %s/table/photos/g
vim> :wq
$ sqlite photos.old.db
sqlite> delete from photos;
sqlite> .read photos.sql
sqlite> .q
$ sqlite photos.old.db .dump|sqlite3 photos.db
$ f-spot

Happy f-spotting
