Additional dependencies

QtFM 6.2 now features enhanced thumbnail support through ImageMagick and FFmpeg. This feature is optional and must be enabled at build time.

ImageMagick

• CONFIG+=with_magick - This will enable ImageMagick functions in QtFM
• CONFIG+=magick7 - Enable support for ImageMagick v7, the default is v6
• MAGICK_PC=<Magick++ pkg-config file> - Optional name for the Magick++ pkg-config file

FFmpeg

• CONFIG+=with_ffmpeg

The following libraries are needed:

• libavdevice
• libswscale
• libavformat
• libavcodec

Shared library support

QtFM can now be built as a shared library, this is an optional feature.

• CONFIG+=sharedlib

Conclusion

If you don't change anything in the build script everything will be fine,v6.2 will build and install as v6.1. If you however want better thumbnail support add CONFIG+=with_ffmpeg CONFIG+=with_magick to the qmake line in your build script, note you will need to add the new dependencies if you do.
