Q
How do I build libgphoto2 and entangle from scratch?
A
We strongly recommend installing the OS distributors own pre-built packages. Compilation from scratch is much more error prone, but for those who are feeling adventurous there are some instructions on compiling from scratch
Q
Where can I get the source code?
A
If you are a end user then you probably want to download a official released source archive on the download page. If you are a developer wanting to contribute, then goto the master GIT repository
Q
What cameras are supported?
A
The recommended cameras to use with Entangle are Nikon or Canon DSLRs, since they offer the broadest level of functionality and are the mostly widely tested with libgphoto2. More generally though it is hoped that any camera supporting remote capture in libgphoto2 will work with Entangle.
Q
What license is the code under?
A
The code is all made available under the terms of the GNU GPL v3+
Q
how to install it on Fedora?
A
