![]() Guess it is something to do with an update to the database table schemas - apologies for getting into a bit of the techie details, based on my prior work experience. ![]() ![]() Sadly it seems to have corrupted another instance of darktable 3.4 which was installed on the computer, but not an issue, I can easily reinstall that - and I had no images so the database can be completely zapped. It seemed pretty quick on the computer on which I built it, albeit that’s an i5 quad core Intel 4th gen with 4 logical cores, and my workhorse is a less poweful i5 dual core intel 4th gen with 4 logical cores., which may xplain the difference in my perception of “speed”. The pace of improvement in the suser interface of darktable within the most recent 18 months or thereabouts is frightening, its coming on in leaps and bounds. There may come a time when Adobe may have to buy all the darktable developers and give them some shares. Feel priviledged to be one of the few on WIndows who has a peek into the next version(s) of Darktable. At least I did not lose sleep for nothing. And it was really thrilling to see that happen, my lack of sleep paid off. The app that was built ran in windows with a release number of d1f02a42e. I had to reference the instructions from the 3.4 release for building on Linux, and replace some of the Windows build instructions with those on the 3.4 release (or rather from the main dev release page on github. It eventually installed (with the aforementioned issue) on my 2nd attempt. And this was after the process had reached 100% completion - not sure if it actually completed that step, since I aborted it manually. I had to abort one of the make steps, cos it just went on doing nothing for well over 30 minutes on the computer on which I attempted the build. I think someone who knows what they are doing needs to health check that Windows build guide. I think some of the instructions on the Windows install guide do not work, for example there is a reference to downloading the git repository using a git internet protocol, that did not work at all for me. The stuff that Linux/UNix end users/admins take for granted like basic commands, pwd, ls, man, ps, vi, can be daunting, I can imagine to died in the wool Window folks, who have never seen a command line. Simple things like how to edit and save a file in Linux, can be a bit of a hurdle if you have no starting off point as I have. ![]() So that helped, it would have been more difficult if I did not have that under my belt. Full disclosure, I was once a deeply involved techie, for at least a decade, as an admin for UNIX and Oracle databases, but it was a quite a while back, and I have since moved on to other things.This will be brief, cos I’m exhausted, its early morning and I lost all sleep, which I have to now catch up on. Thanks - see how far I got with the build effort below.
