Bonjour,

Here is a test to compile Gimp 32bit for Windows with VirtualBox.
Tested with VirtualBox 4.2.16 installed on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

Compilation

- Start the virtual machine "GimpEVAL-20130722-64bits.vdi" with the login :
Debian login : gimpeval
Password : roottoor

- Open Terminal
su
(Password : roottoor)
aptitude install iceweasel build-essential mingw-w64 git jhbuild automake autoconf libtool libgtk2.0-dev ragel intltool bison flex gperf gtk-doc-tools nasm
exit

- Start Web Explorer (Iceweasel)
Download and extract https://github.com/drawoc/windows-gimp- ... master.zip
- Close Web Explorer (Iceweasel)

- with the Terminal (to compile the 2.8.7 version)
cd /home/gimpeval/Downloads/windows-gimp-jhbuild-master
MODULE=gimp-stable ./build
(be very, very, very patient ... there are 35 phases of compilation)

*****

Results

The directory where the compilation is :
/home/gimpeval/Downloads/windows-gimp-jhbuild-master/targets/gimp-stable

Download http://aljacom.com/~gmic/divers_compilation_croisee.zip (10 320 409 bytes / MD5 34478d03d735bf520e45e14712750449 / version 20130803), extract, place "libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll" , "libstdc++-6.dll" and "libgs-8.dll" in :
/home/gimpeval/Downloads/windows-gimp-jhbuild-master/targets/gimp-stable/bin

If you have a shared directory, for example C:\ , you can mount this directory by :
su
(Password : roottoor)
mount -t vboxsf C_DRIVE /mnt/partage
thunar

Copy the "gimp-stable" directory on your Windows drive and test (...\gimp-stable\bin\gimp-2.8.exe)

Bonjour,

Here's another way to compile using a 32-bit virtual machine (for example, those using 32-bit systems)

Compilation (cross compilation) gimp 2.9.1

- Start the virtual machine (GimpEVAL-20130719-32bits.vdi)

- Open Terminal
sudo apt-get install build-essential mingw-w64 git jhbuild automake autoconf libtool libgtk2.0-dev ragel intltool bison flex gperf gtk-doc-tools nasm
( Password : roottoor )
cd /home/gimpeval/Downloads
wget https://github.com/drawoc/windows-gimp- ... master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd /home/gimpeval/Downloads/windows-gimp-jhbuild-master
./build
(be very, very, very patient ... there are 38 phases of compilation)

Problem phase "icu-native" 20/38 >> [3] Give up on module (I will perhaps another test after changing scripts).
Problem phase "Iso-codes" 30/38 >> server unavailable for a few hours ( http://pkg-isocodes.alioth.debian.org/d ... .44.tar.xz )

Test compilation using the virtual machine

You can also install "wine" using "synaptic" and open "gimp-2.9.exe" directly into the "GimpEVAL-20130719-32bits.vdi" virtual machine.
A screenshot is attached.

Thank you Sam.

Bonjour,

Thank i am busy setting up a virtual machine for the first time ,so this come at the best moment !

Bonjour,

@PhotoComix
It's very, very simple, you must set :
- a good amount of memory (at least 1 gigabyte).
- a shared folder.
- validate exchanges with clipboards.

Content of archive:
- Screenshots of tests under Wine.
- 3 DLLs to run compilations ("libgs-8.dll" replaces the DLL after compilation does not work, the other two DLLs are up to date).
- The scripts used in tests of 31 July and 1 August 2013.

Thank you for this. I am new to linux and have never compiled before, but it compiled on my first try.

I did run into some problems trying to run the compiled version. I get a number of errors saying that the program could not find libgimpui-2.0-0.dll but the dll is in the bin directory.

Also, when I copied the files in windows, 3 showed a virus with Avast. I ran them through VirusTotal and they showed 10 to 12 virus hits. Then were: apply-canvas.exe, cml-explorer.exe, and contrast-stretch-hsv.exe. I ran apply-canvas from my 2.9 portable 64 bit from you and it did not show any hits. I and running Win7 64 bit.

I compiled 2.9 under your 64bit VirtualBox

Bonjour,

@Bilbo9955

I am still confused with antivirus ...
The results are different with the same file (apply-canvas.exe) :
http://r.virscan.org/report/bf7cf33a7cd ... 3c307.html
https://www.virustotal.com/fr/file/9dad ... 375551324/

In one case Avast consider the file as a virus, in the other case it is healthy

If you have any doubts do not use it. Unfortunately I do not have a better answer for you

Thanks samj. do you have any ideas on libgimpui-2.0-0.dll issue?

@Bilbo9955

On Windows I always use my launcher and I do not have a problem.
Here are my gimp 2.8.9 launchers to be placed after \gimp-dev and before \bin, etc..
(8 files in the archive)

Bonjour,

Today I was able to create a complete version using Mint 64-bit and scripts downloaded on July 31.
It is a Gimp 2.8.7 32-bit for Windows.
I am satisfied with the result.

If you want to test here is the link for download :
http://aljacom.com/~gmic/gimp-2.8.7-20130804_portable.7z
(112 802 948 bytes) / MD5 b78b0e2f345fb4684ef9811f876b9521 / volume approximately 600 MB uncompressed )

This is a 7zip archive ( http://www.7-zip.org/ ).
The uncompressed volume is important because I left all the elements of the compilation with VirtualBox.
To start Gimp click on one of seven executable files in the directory \gimp-2.8.7-20130804_portable

This version has many plugins.

Built with :
- http://www.aljacom.com/~gmic/GimpEVAL-20130720-64bits.7z (Linux Mint 64-bit / VirtualBox)
- http://aljacom.com/~gmic/divers_compilation_croisee.zip - scripts_windows-gimp-jhbuild-master_20130731.zip from https://github.com/drawoc/windows-gimp-jhbuild by Drawoc :o)
- DLL from http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... .2/noarch/
- Python from Gimp 2.8.6 32 bits SourceForge by Jernej Simoncic :o)

I tested with two antivirus... everything is correct.
