Usermanual

If you want to build the docs, some additional packages are required. Note that some of them are no longer available under Manjaro, and so you need to install them from the AUR repository. For this, you will need to install yay package manager (or equivalent)

sudo pacman -S --needed jdk11-openjdk fop imagemagick extra/docbook-xml extra/docbook-xsl perl-pod-parser yay
yay -S --needed gnome-doc-utils saxon6 saxon-he docbook-xsl-saxon
sudo pacman -S --needed po4a   #if you want to build translated man pages

Additionally, saxon6 is required but the installation from AUR does not work and some manual steps are required.

cd /usr/share/java
sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/saxon6/saxon.jar
sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/saxon6/saxon-xml-apis.jar
echo '#!/bin/sh' | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/saxon-xslt
echo '' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/bin/saxon-xslt
echo 'exec java -classpath /usr/share/java/saxon.jar com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet "@0"' | sudo tee -a /usr/local/bin/saxon-xslt
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/saxon-xslt

Build source and docs

Once the dependencies are installed, the source can be checked out:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable.git ~/git/darktable
cd ~/git/darktable
./build.sh
./build-doc.sh    #if you want to build the docs
cd build
sudo make install
