Entangle: Tethered Camera Control & Capture
===========================================
Entangle is an application which uses GTK and libgphoto2 to provide a
graphical interface for tethered photography with digital cameras.
It includes control over camera shooting and configuration settings
and 'hands off' shooting directly from the controlling computer.
Installation
------------
The Entangle package uses the Meson build system available from:
http://mesonbuild.com/
As a quick start you can do
meson build-dir
ninja -C build-dir all
sudo ninja -C build-dir install
Or to install into a private user specific location
meson build-dir --prefix=$HOME/entangle
ninja -C build-dir all
ninja -C build-dir install
NB, if not installing in /usr, you need to set the XDG_DATA_DIRS env
variable to point to the data directory, eg in the above example use:
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/usr/local/share:$HOME/entangle/share
export XDG_DATA_DIRS
OS distro packagers should use the --disable-schemas-compile arg
to configure to skip the compilation stage for schema files if
installing to the /usr prefix
