Hey there!

I’ve written a little bash script to automate the process of compiling the gimp’s latest development version and its dependencies, which should work fine on a fresh ubuntu install. As of now, it's known to work on 12.04 and 12.10.

The script is modular enough so you should be able to adapt it to your own needs or distro.

Here it is:

I hope it could be of a little a help to some of you guys

Thanks zanshine! Please include in your subject line that it is for Ubuntu. I put it in for you.
