What is gphoto2?
gphoto2 is a command-line frontend to libgphoto2.
Where can I find more information?
Visit the gphoto project web site. It should always be found at least at one of the following URLs:
- http://www.gphoto.com/
- http://www.gphoto.org/
- http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/

The man page is in the file gphoto2.1.
How do I build it?
If you have installed libgphoto2 into $HOME/.local and want to
install gphoto2 to $HOME/.local as well, keep the PKG_CONFIG_PATH=
and --prefix= arguments to configure. Otherwise adapt or remove
them.
autoreconf -is # if using a git clone
./configure PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/.local/lib/pkgconfig${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+":${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"}" --prefix="$HOME/.local"
make
make install
Out-of-tree builds are supported. ./configure --help may help.
To build gphoto2, you will need the following (apart from the common build tools):
- The libgphoto2 library.
- The popt libraries (for commandline option handling), the system package may be called popt-devel or popt-dev or similar.
Optional:
- The EXIF library. (libexif-devel, libexif-dev or similar)
- The JPEG library. (libjpeg-devel, libjpeg-dev, or jpeg-dev or similar)
- The CDK library (for ncurses based configuration UI). (cdk-devel or similar)
- The AALIB library (for ascii art rendering of previews). (aalib-devel or similar)
How do I test it?
make check
The test suite checks the installation and basic functionality of the gphoto2 program and the 'Directory Browse' libgphoto2 camera driver.
