Re: [Shotwell] Development environment setup or "How to build shotwell from source?"

[Ricardo <ricardofantin gmail com>]

Hello,
this page is a bit outdate.

First you need to install OpenCV. In Debian/Ubuntu use:
sudo apt install libopencv-dev
(I don't know the command in Fedora)

After you should enable the face detection in meson command:
meson -Dface-detection=true build/
Other steps are described in the page you send.

You may have library version problems. If you have any issue tell us
which operational system you are using and its version.

Bye,
Ricardo.
