Bug ID: 486632
Summary: Camera is never detected using bundled gphoto2
libraries
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.3.0
Platform: macOS (DMG)
OS: macOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Import-Gphoto2
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: hh.abr...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The gphoto2 libraries packaged with the MacOS version of DIgiKam do not allow
the auto detection of my Canon EOS 7D camera. When I install the gphoto2 and
libgphoto2 packages using brew, then create symlinks under the DigiKam
installation directory, I am then able to auto detect my camera correctly.
I've had this problem for the last years and have only just found a solution.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install DigiKam using the sources available in DMG format and setup
2. Connect the Canon EOS 7D camera using a USB cable
3. Go to the Cameras preference and click Auto-Detect
OBSERVED RESULT
An error message is displayed that no cameras can be detected
EXPECTED RESULT
A Canon EOS 7D should be detected connected to the USB port
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Ventura 13.6.6
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Installing the same versions of gphoto2 and libgphoto2 and then symlinking the
packaged directories and dylib files to the ones installed by brew allows the
camera to be detected correctly.
Below are the symlinks created under
/Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/lib:
libgphoto2 -> /usr/local/lib/libgphoto2
libgphoto2.6.dylib -> /usr/local/lib/libgphoto2.6.dylib
libgphoto2_port -> /usr/local/lib/libgphoto2_port
libgphoto2_port.12.dylib -> /usr/local/lib/libgphoto2_port.12.dylib
