My first Gimp-2.7.4 compile

Rod-

Are you compiling under Linux for Linux, Under Windows (using MinGW and MSYS) for Windows or under Linux for Windows (cross-compiled)?

I'd really like to find a guide for the third.....

Rob,

Silly question... Why bother? If you have windows, why not compile on Windows? Unless you are compiling for friends and you don't have windows?

Thanks,
Partha

A few reasons _ can think of-

1) Because setting up a full dev environment under windows is a pain (in my experience)
2) Because using git under windows is a pain (also in my experience)
3) Because if I want to actually contribute to gimp through coding/bug fixing, I was hoping to only maintain one codebase.
4) Because that is (according to responses on the gimp dev IRC) the way the "semi-official" windows version of gimp are made.

Partha -
Windows doesn't like the GetUserDefaultUILanguage in the language.c file.
It looks like it uses a hack in Python to try and get by this.

The Error

Code: Select all

  AR     libapp.a
  CCLD   gimp-2.7.exe
language.o: In function `language_init':
c:\src\gimp-nightly-builds\gimp-2.7.4\app/language.c:50: undefined reference to `GetUserDefaultUILanguage'

Do i define as

Rod,

in the source app/language.c (around line 300), do the following:

Code: Select all

//    switch (GetUserDefaultUILanguage())
         switch (GetUserDefaultLangID())

One additional issue you are going to face if you are building in lcms is that it will not compile.
So, In the source modules/display-filter-lcms.c, do the following.

Code: Select all

//#ifdef G_OS_WIN32
//#define STRICT
//#include <windows.h>
//#define LCMS_WIN_TYPES_ALREADY_DEFINED
//#endif

#include <windows.h>

Let me know what happens.

I will let you know.

I added the line at #300 and it needed it to contain all the case statements so i commented out the first function and added yours at the beginning and it worked.

I also had to add
#define libintl_printf printf

to the file-sgi.c file ,and now i think it is installing correctly *cross fingers*
We need a crosses fingers/knock on wood emoticon. :lol

What is the lt_debugprintf warning that keeps popping up?It doesn't terminate install but keeps showing itself in the plug-ins files.
Is that a Libtool warning?

I usually avoid adding #defines in a file since then you are stuck sitting there and waiting for some definition to fail. So, I pass it in the ./configure line. I add

Code: Select all

-Dlibintl_printf=printf

etc. to the end of ./configure.

its a warning by gcc in Msys. Don't worry about it. You can safely ignore it.

Great that works better.

I also am trying an experiment with my first compile.
New larger preview sizes -
Tile small = 256x256
Gimpressionist = 240x400
IWarp = 300x300
Should all have larger preview windows.

@ PC - Which plugin previews did you already compile for windows?

I decided to re-configure and the do the install adding the define printf to the command line for ./configure, (so i do not have to babysit too much)

Hey Partha how did you add the apng file in?
Did you install it after compiling Gimp-2.7.4 or during?

@rod i saw only now your message

were
Small tiles
map to object
fractal trace
depth merge
lighting effect
fractal explorer

do you want me search for the code ?( i believe is on box.net i may look

i remember that for some was a pain find the right lines

PC are all those compiled for windows already?
I just want to compile the ones that are still NOT compiled for windows.

No, I added it to the source tree. But you can compile it after as well.

are not compiled for 2.6
are compiled for 2,7 and included with the Partha build, ( i didn't look in the last but i imagine are still there )

About other plugin there is the mysterious Van Gogh plugin that is in Artistic filter,( but is not a artistic filter does something close to a blur or fog effect...but here the problem is not that the preview is too little , but that is not: there is no any preview (and that in my opinion make totally useless a filter already not too useful )

the other have no problems with preview

Would you place the src files in the plug-ins/common folder for that?

Rob,

Did you patch libpng to be able use apng? If not, you are probably better off first getting a successful compile. Then we can worry about apng. Send me an email and we can take the conversation offline.

Thanks,
Partha

Check it out ... i compiled my first Gimp-2.7.4!
http://simplysignage.110mb.com/blog/blo ... 118-090543

You will find more Gimp-2.7.4 plugins in the left menu also.

I will be doing much, much more in the future.

My build environment is setup for Gimp-2.7 though so nothing Gimp-2.6 will be compiled.
SamJ does most of those anyways.

Peace!

great Rod
..maybe you want try with gimpainter ?
http://git.sourceforge.jp/view?p=gimp-p ... ;a=summary

now the pressure issue with the tablet should be fix so have gimpainter compiled for 2,7 would be cool
the gimpainter source should be keep in sync with the gimp 2.7 git
