Comments on Martin Nordholts' GIMP Blog: Best way to keep up with GIMP from git

OK. Think I'm getting close. Just keep seeing this after trying to run the .autogen.sh line in the terminal:

aclocal-1.11: couldn't open directory `/home/jason/Development/Gimp/share/aclocal': No such file or directory

The folder "aclocal" is in the right place... any help?

I got two problems :
aclocal-1.11: couldn't open directory `/home/simon/Informatique/softs/gimp-git/share/aclocal': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

a simple mkdir fixed it, and the other :

Re "undefined reference to `babl_format_n'"
You need a git version of babl.
Do a 'git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl babl-git' and compile that first.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10, I have downloaded and compiled Babl, GEGL and GIMP several times over the past week. GIMP will start and I can create a new file but none of the tools work.

I figure that it can't be THAT broken so the problem must be my end.

2010-07-08T11:37:26.171+02:00

@John:
First "yum-builddep gimp gegl babl" or "apt-get build-dep gimp gegl babl" which will give you most build dependencies. Then "yum search" or "apt-cache search" or "yum provides" or "apt-file find" to find the last missing ones. And finally use the method described above for the rest.

2010-07-06T17:13:23.691+02:00

Seems that there are quite a few new dependencies with the most recent builds. Any recommendations on the fastest way to meet those?

2010-02-27T17:02:57.314+01:00

I run openSuSE 11.2 which has its own pre-compiled packages, and I've always updated from their download site. I am not sure how to follow the procedure you recommend. Should I uninstall Gimp and remove all traces, then build from scratch? Or what? I tend to like running on the bleeding edge of everything. Must be a character flaw, or something. You can tell me I'm just being frivolous, or an insane thrill-seeker. Just curious.

2010-01-26T22:06:23.725+01:00

You make want to mention that you have to "git" babl and gegl as well as gimp if this is the first time compiling the 2.7.x code. Adding the -j option to make can also speed up compiling (i.e. make -j3 if you have a duo core machine or make -j5 for a quad core)
Thanks for all your work on gimp.

It would be nice if a Windows bleeding edge version was available. Then I could contribute info on features / bugs.

thanks a lot for this simple instruction. i wanted to try out GIMP source for a while, but put it off because i thought i'd have to get into the whole git-thing first.

my C++ skills are more than rusty so i doubt i'll be able to contribute anything soon, but i should be able to help with testing at least--and get an idea what you're really up to in the near future.
