Hello, everybody.
I read the article http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/Compiling_CHDK_under_Linux
It is completely useless.
Can someone please explain me how do I compile CHDK sourcecodes?
I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit
CHDK sourcecodes taken from https://subversion.assembla.com/svn/chdk/branches/release-1_4/
I want to build ixus160_elph160
If you have not compiled software from source before, the suggested way is to use the pre-built distributions specific to your camera. There is a build for ixus160 that works without having to compile from sources.
Building from sources is required if you want to contribute to the development of software that runs on the camera. You need a working compiler, eg gcc, and you need to <ahem> roughly know how to compile software, how to install software compiled from sources, and how to modify that software.. There is a lot to read and understand here, it's deep.
I say <ahem> because I roughly know how to compile and modify software, but not really, so I screw up and get myself in trouble. A lot. But I'm interested to learn how it works..
Sounds to me like you would be better served by simply using the pre-built dist for the 160 and learning about how it works, rather than trying to learn how it works by compiling it from source.
