i am trying to install on linux just now and i am getting headaches
i may imagine yours trying to do the same on win !

the install file are ,apparently to install from git and in the usr directory, should be adapted because we instead have the file on the HD

And try to adapt the commands for this ..well give me migraine but not useful results, and linux is more friendly for compiling

PS don't forget to read each time about dependency...as example you will need last pkg-config

and if i am not wrong there is a order, first compile babl, then gegl and finally gimp

I used these instructions: http://blog.bloke.com/2010/05/install-g ... r-noobies/

and it worked perfectly for me with one small change - I had to use git clone http://git.gnome.org/babl because I am behind a firewall that will not let out a git connection.

Getting gimptool-2.0 to work to compile a plugin took a bit more effort, and the help of the gimp IRC because of some additional requirements. My notes are at work for that and I can get them here tomorrow.

Now I am just trying to set up cross-compiling a plugin for windows with gcc-mingw32....but still not having luck

Man; compared to you guys, I'm just a poser. The only thing I ever did that even comes close to hackish is figuring out how to compile the MAZE5 plugin for GIMP in Linux (and I had a step by step procedure to do so; no help for Windows though).

You and me, both. I feel so out and out NOOB around these wizards of code. I'm just trying to help peeps like myself get more comfortable with the simple stuff, lol.

OK - I got it.

Before using gimptool-2.0 to compile a 3rd party plugin, in addition to having PREFIX, PATH, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH all set properly to point to your target gimp installation directory, you need to type in:


Then you can compile a simple (single c source file) gimp plugin with the syntax:


or compile and install it to your home .gimp resource directory using:


See the gimptool-2.0 manpagefor more details.

I am trying out Gimp-2.7.2 on Gentoo Linux.
So far I only had a problem with Gegl Operations.
Some operations will freeze it.
Now I've come across something that will have impact on plugins.

WARNING: Plug-In "texturize"
(/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/texturize)
called deprecated procedure 'gimp-image-add-layer'.
It should call 'gimp-image-insert-layer' instead!

I'm just trying it out,not using it to make anything.
But I wonder what impact it will have on existing filters/plugins.
Lots use add-layer I guess.

Gerard.

bugs...bugs...bugs... *sigh*

Well, tried the texture plugin in my regular Gentoo install with 2.6.11.
It doesn't throw any error,but it doesn't do anything either.
I get a message that it has died.
Looking at the source code the newest file is november 2007!
Probably a remnant of 2.4 days.
Gerard.

It works fine in my 2.6.11 install. =)
One of my favorite plug-ins too.

Yes,thanks Rod.
It works for me too.
I never used it before so I started it on a 3400x2400 jpeg.
That apparently is more than it can swallow.
Tried it again on a cutout of a brick wall and it works fine.
As for 2.7.2, the offending line is in render.c of the source.
I will change that and recompile.
Gerard.

Thank RobA
the first time didn't work ( no hint why ...terminal only say "interrotto" (English "interrupted" or "stopped" )but not why the operation was interrupted

i'm trying again just now and apparently with better luck.(still is downloading but beyond that critical point )

AAARGHH!!

everything was going so good, compile, make...

and then..

animation-play.o: In function `detach_callback':

Last line means
make: ***no rule to create the object «install~/gimp/bin/gimp-2.7». stop.

how to solve ?

I gave up on compiling it for windows xp, just cant find all the resources i need for it to work correctly. =\
Ahh well, ill wait for the 2.8 binary release i guess.

Sorry folks.

still no luck...and still hoping for a solution

I checked my notes and I had compiled from ftp previously, but had pulled a few more things first:



See if that helps. The only other difference was I installed automake, not automake1.10 so it looks like I have 1.11 actually installed but I don't think that would account for your error.

what do you get when you do from command line?

so it is installed... i will try again in a few minutes (but to see the result is needed much more time)to see if the added libraries solved

i believe everything went fine for Babl and Gegl ..but not for gimp

gimp make stopped here

Did you install the libdbus-glib-1-dev like in the line I provided?

Also try a make clean to get rid of previous attempts before make again.

-Rob A

yes



i didn't ...well i deleted the whole gimp-build folder and i started again from beginning is equivalent ?

how i "make clean"?

Another try again no luck, no problem for gegl and babl
but gimp make fails for "undefined reference to `GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED'" w
