You should probably not git clone the thing unless you're going to be <br>
contributing to the project. Downloading the release file (the .tar.xz <br>
file mentioned in the other branch of the thread) will take up less disk <br>
space, and you don't need the history and comments if you're not a <br>
project developer.<br>
<br>
Darktable is in GTK+ and requires Lua, cmake, and I think libxml as <br>
well. I believe you should start off with "apt-get install lua <br>
gtk-devel cmake" at the very least before doing ./build.sh . The <br>
build.sh script should check for all dependencies and die if there are <br>
missing headers or libraries. Install the missing stuff, then try <br>
again, repeat until it works. I think it puts the resulting binary in <br>
/opt for some reason by default, you may want to fix that with a better <br>
--prefix option to build.sh before running that.<br>
