This page details instructions for compiling RawTherapee on GNU/Linux systems. There are also instructions for compiling on Windows and OS X.

When in doubt, join us on IRC and ask a human!

Dependencies

To compile RawTherapee your system will need a set of tools. They are called dependencies, and here is a list of dependencies for both GTK2 and GTK3 versions of RawTherapee:

To compile the outdated RawTherapee 3 you will need these:

Build-time dependencies for RawTherapee 3
Package Version Gentoo Debian/Ubuntu URL
LCMS1 lcms<=1.99 media-libs/lcms liblcms1-dev http://www.littlecms.com/

In order to install all these dependencies, you will need to open a console and paste the code from the appropriate section into the console. Note that these code snippets include the GTK3 dependencies if available, so if you want to compile the legacy "gtk2" branch which uses GTK2 then replace the GTK3 dependencies with GTK2 ones as described in the list above.

Arch

The latest Arch supports GTK3, use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3.

sudo pacman -S bzip2 exiv2 expat fftw glib2 glibmm gtk3 gtkmm3 lcms2 lensfun libcanberra libiptcdata libjpeg-turbo libpng libsigc++ libtiff zlib

CentOS 7.1

CentOS 7.1 does not support a recent enough version of GTK3, so you can only compile the gtk2 branch. As CentOS 7.1 does not seem to have the Clearlooks GTK2 theme engine, you will either need to install some other GTK2 theme engine, or after installing RawTherapee go to "Preferences > General > Default Theme" and enable "Use system theme".

sudo yum install bzip2-devel cmake curl exiv2-devel expat-devel fftw-devel gcc-c++ git glibmm24-devel gtk2-devel gtkmm24-devel lcms2-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libcanberra-devel libiptcdata-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel sigc++20-devel zlib-devel

Fedora

Fedora supports GTK3 from version 22, use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3. If you are using Fedora version 21 or older, use the legacy gtk2 branch.

sudo dnf install bzip2-devel cmake exiv2-devel expat-devel fftw-devel gcc-c++ glib2-devel glibmm24-devel gtk3-devel gtkmm30-devel lcms2-devel lensfun-devel libcanberra-devel libiptcdata-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libpng-devel libsigc++20-devel libtiff-devel zlib-devel

Gentoo

Gentoo supports GTK3, use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3.

sudo emerge -uva app-arch/bzip2 dev-cpp/gtkmm:3.0 dev-libs/expat media-gfx/exiv2 media-libs/lcms media-libs/lensfun media-libs/libcanberra media-libs/libiptcdata media-libs/libjpeg-turbo media-libs/libpng media-libs/tiff net-misc/curl sci-libs/fftw sys-libs/zlib x11-libs/gtk+:3

openSUSE

openSUSE 42.2 and Tumbleweed support GTK3, use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3. Note: openSUSE 42.1 supports GTK+ 3.16.7 but compilation fails as the sigc++-2.0>=2.4 requirement is not met. If you are using openSUSE version 42.1 or older, use the legacy gtk2 branch.

sudo zypper in cmake fftw3-devel gcc-c++ glib2-devel glibmm2-devel gtk3-devel gtkmm3-devel libbz2-devel libcanberra-devel libexpat-devel libiptcdata-devel libjpeg-devel liblcms2-devel libpng-devel libsigc++2-devel libtiff-devel zlib-devel

Sabayon

Sabayon supports GTK3, use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3.

sudo equo install app-arch/bzip2 dev-cpp/gtkmm:3.0 dev-libs/expat dev-util/cmake media-gfx/exiv2 media-libs/lcms media-libs/libcanberra media-libs/libiptcdata media-libs/libjpeg-turbo media-libs/libpng media-libs/tiff net-misc/curl sci-libs/fftw sys-libs/zlib x11-libs/gtk+:3

Ubuntu

Ubuntu as of version 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) supports GTK3, use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3. Older versions of Ubuntu either do not support GTK3 at all, or the version of GTK3 they ship is not recent enough (RawTherapee GTK3 support requires GTK3 version 3.16 or newer), meaning you must use the legacy gtk2 branch which uses GTK2.

Ubuntu 17.10, 17.04 and 16.10

Use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake curl git libcanberra-gtk3-dev libexiv2-dev libexpat-dev libfftw3-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libgtk-3-dev libgtkmm-3.0-dev libiptcdata0-dev libjpeg-dev liblcms2-dev liblensfun-dev libpng-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libtiff5-dev zlib1g-dev

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 15.10

Use the dev branch (or checkout a "gtk3" release tag). The dependencies below are only for GTK3.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake curl git libbz2-dev libcanberra-gtk3-dev libexiv2-dev libexpat-dev libfftw3-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libgtk-3-dev libgtkmm-3.0-dev libiptcdata0-dev libjpeg8-dev liblcms2-dev liblensfun-dev libpng12-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libtiff5-dev zlib1g-dev

Ubuntu 15.04, 14.10, 14.04 LTS

Use the legacy gtk2 branch. The dependencies below are only for the gtk2 branch.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake curl git libbz2-dev libcanberra-gtk-dev libexiv2-dev libexpat-dev libfftw3-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libiptcdata0-dev libjpeg8-dev liblcms2-dev libpng12-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libtiff5-dev zlib1g-dev

RawTherapee requires GCC version 4.9 or higher. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ships with GCC version 4.8.2 which is too old - to get 4.9, follow these steps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/466651/how-do-i-use-the-latest-gcc-on-ubuntu-14-04

Ubuntu 13.10, 13.04, 12.10, 12.04 LTS, 11.10

These versions of Ubuntu are badly outdated. The code below used to work but it may stop working at any moment. Upgrade your operating system.

As these versions of Ubuntu only support GCC-4.8.1 and older, the latest commit you will be able to compile is commit b343b9a7 from 2015-12-29 - newer versions will not compile.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake curl git libbz2-dev libcanberra-gtk-dev libexiv2-dev libexpat-dev libfftw3-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libiptcdata0-dev libjpeg8-dev liblcms2-dev libpng12-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libtiff5-dev zlib1g-dev

Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04

Compiling: The Manual Way

This section describes compiling RawTherapee manually.

Clone the source

First, you need to clone RawTherapee's source code repository. Bring up your console and run this:

git clone https://github.com/Beep6581/RawTherapee ~/repo-rt
cd ~/repo-rt

Choose a branch

  • Features are developed on their own feature branches.
  • Development happens on the dev branch. Feature branches are merged into the dev branch when they're ready. The dev branch is unstable.
  • Releases are tagged on the releases branch.

Checkout the latest tag if you want the most stable code. To see all available tags, type:

git tag

Checkout the dev branch or some other feature branch if you want to test the latest bleeding-edge code. To see all available branches, type:

git branch -a

Checking out is done via the "git checkout" command. To checkout a tag or a branch, type:

git checkout <tag or branch>

RawTherapee uses GTK+ for the user interface and requires GTK+ version 3.16 or newer. If your system does not support version 3.16 or newer then you must checkout the 5.0-r1-gtk2 tag. Our GTK2 support has officially ended on 2 February 2017 - update your system.

Note: Compiling old versions of RawTherapee will fail on a modern system, as you will be missing the old dependencies.

Compile RawTherapee

Now you will make an out-of-source compilation of RawTherapee, it will be built into the ~/repo-rt/build/release folder, and then you will move this folder to your home directory and rename it to "rt", so make sure there is no ~/rt folder already!

There are a few compilation settings you need to be aware of, you will pass these to CMake using the -D option as described below:

BUILD_TYPE
You must specify the BUILD_TYPE when building RawTherapee. You can set the BUILD_TYPE value to "debug", "relwithdebinfo" or "release". The "debug" and "relwithdebinfo" builds will let you get a useful stack-backtrace if RawTherapee crashes while running through GDB which you can then submit to us so we can find the problem and fix it. The "debug" build is the slowest but generates the most detailed information. The "relwithdebinfo" build is almost as fast as a "release" build and generates often sufficient information, though not as detiled as a "debug" build. The "release" build will not provide any useful information when it crashes, but does contain many speed optimizations resulting in a program that works many times faster than the "debug" version would. For normal use, make a "release" or "relwithdebinfo" build. If you find a reproducible bug, then make a "debug" build and send us a stack-backtrace (or fix it yourself and send us the patch!). Alternatively use a "relwithdebinfo" build, and hope that it's detailed enough.
To make a "release" type build, write: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="release"
Replace "release" by "debug" or "relwithdebinfo" as needed.
USE_OLD_CXX_ABI
When compiling a program, one must use the same conventions as those used by the libraries which that program relies upon, otherwise compilation (linking) will fail. Generally one does not need to concern oneself with this, but we are now at a time when GCC4 is being phased out by GCC5, each by default uses a convention incompatible with the other, and so this issue is relevant. If the libraries on your system have been compiled using GCC5, they probably use a standard called C++11. This means that your RawTherapee build must use the same standard, which is the case by default. However if despite using GCC5 your libraries were built using the older C++03 standard, then RawTherapee must be set to use the same, and this is when you would set "USE_OLD_CXX_ABI" to "ON":
To enable USE_OLD_CXX_ABI, write: -DUSE_OLD_CXX_ABI="ON"
CACHE_NAME_SUFFIX
The CACHE_NAME_SUFFIX options dictates the suffix of the cache and config folder names the compiled RawTherapee build will use.
See the File Paths article for a full explanation, or just use "5-dev".
PROC_TARGET_NUMBER
The PROC_TARGET_NUMBER option sets which CPU type to optimize for. "2" is a safe choice because it means "native", so the optimizations will be automatically detected for your CPU.
For more info, see the file "ProcessorTargets.cmake" in the cloned repository.
To make a build using "native" optimizations, write: -DPROC_TARGET_NUMBER="2"
BUILD_BUNDLE
ON or OFF
This is optional only in Linux. It is forced ON in Windows and macOS.
If set to ON, the program will be built into a specific folder (DATADIR), otherwise it will be installed relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX which would typically be system-wide.
LENSFUNDBDIR
The LENSFUNDBDIR option permits to locate the lensfun database in the specified directory. It can be unset, absolute or relative.
When unset, Lensfun uses its own logic to find the database. This is the recommended option if you have Lensfun installed system-wide and want to use it.
You can set it to a relative or absolute path if you want to use a custom lensfun database.
If building a bundle, it is relative to the bundle's root folder, otherwise it is relative to DATADIR, i.e. ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/share/rawtherapee

Finally, you need to find out how many threads your CPU supports. This will make compilation faster but it will have no effect on the speed of running RawTherapee.

Threads
To find out how many threads your CPU supports, run:
grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo
Then replace the number in "-j8" below with this number.


Now you are ready to compile:

cd ~/repo-rt
rm -rf build
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="release" \
      -DPROC_TARGET_NUMBER="2" \
      -DBUILD_BUNDLE="ON" \
      -DCACHE_NAME_SUFFIX="5-dev" \
      -DWITH_LTO="OFF" \
      ..
make -j4 install
mv release ~/rt

Run RawTherapee

To run RawTherapee:

~/rt/rawtherapee

The source code repository is in ~/repo-rt and the compiled program is in ~/rt

You can safely delete ~/repo-rt if you so wish. The compiled program will still work, but then you will have to redo all the above steps if you want to update. Rather, leave the repository intact so that you can do the next step in a week or a month's time.

Update RawTherapee

Every time you want to update your RawTherapee to the latest code available, just do the following:

cd ~/repo-rt
git pull

Then repeat the Compile RawTherapee step above.
