I am trying to install gphoto2 on my macbook pro. I installed the tar.gz from their website and from terminal I cd Downloads and run ./configure as the README file recommends doing. I keep receiving this error:
checking for pkg-config... false
configure: error:
*** Build requires pkg-config
***
*** Possible solutions:
*** - set PKG_CONFIG to where your pkg-config is located
*** - set PATH to include the directory where pkg-config is installed
*** - get it from http://freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/ and install it
I have Xcode 6 installed, as well as Command Line tools (tested it by running gcc in terminal). What am I doing wrong? What should I do?
Also, should I install gphoto2 or libgphoto2?
I wouldn't bother faffing around with building it yourself. I would install homebrew from here.
Then you can simply do
brew install gphoto2
and you will also have a decent package manager if you want to install other cool stuff later on - e.g. ImageMagick, gawk, GNU sed, swatch, youtube-downloader, wxWidgets, vips, redis, sox, ffmpeg. To find other cool stuff that can be managed with homebrew just do
brew search
