[Shotwell] Still issue with EOS 550D RAW Thumbnails

[Bruno Girin]

Simon,

I managed to get the same issue sorted on a 60D by building libraw
0.12.1 and Shotwell from source so it should also work for the 550D.
The procedure is a bit convoluted due to ticket 3032 [0] so once that
ticket is solved (either directly in libraw or using a workaround in
the Shotwell build), it should all work fine. Here's the full
procedure for Ubuntu if you want to give it a go:

1. Install subversion and the Vala compiler:
sudo apt-get install subversion valac
2. Go to the page that explains how to install Shotwell from source [1]
3. Do step 1 of the instructions
4. Install the liblcms1-dev package:
sudo apt-get install liblcms1-dev
5. Download LibRaw-0.12.1.tar.gz [2]
6. Extract libraw:
tar zxvf LibRaw-0.12.1.tar.gz
7. Build and install libraw:
cd LibRaw-0.12.1
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
8. Get Shotwell trunk (step 2 of [1]):
svn co svn://svn.yorba.org/shotwell/trunk shotwell
9. Get the patch for bug #3032 [3]
10. Apply the patch:
cd shotwell
patch -p1 < ../shotwell-openmp.patch
11. Build and install Shotwell (step 3 of [1]):
./configure
make
sudo make install
