It could very well be the Gimp package i downloaded causing the problem.
I will grab the latest and try again in a day or say.

Thanks Kevin.

The constant Thanks to Rod!
There will always be many people willing to try new version of the program.
Development versions are due to human errors - power of progress!
Request to You and others: Partha and JamesH!
Download address?

This seems to be happening across the board with Windows compiles. Unless it is just my machine.
I downloaded and tried Parthas 32 bit newest compile for Gimp-2.7.4 (5), and tried to use GEGL operations and got no drop down menu.
Also i could not get the Cage Transform Tool to work without totally crashing Gimp altogether.
Can anyone running Windows XP 32 bit confirm this on their machine for me. This way i can rule out some possible faults.

Thanks!

I tried the newest tarball and all goes well with configure then this mess -


I have no idea what this error means.

I sent Partha a letter maybe he can figure this all out.

I'm getting very similar errors, and I'm only trying to build from official 2.7.4 sources, nothing too cutting edge...

I have zero experience compiling for Windows.
What I see there I would interpret as either missing atk library and/or gtk+.
Those libraries are not included in the Gimp/babl/gegl tarballs.
On my box atk is at 1.32.0.
Gerard.

Edit: So the problem is not with gegl.

For Linux (Ubuntu_11) GIMP 2.7.5 acts well.
For WIN (XP 32 bit) JamesH compiled acting from Gegl version (GIMP 2.7.4).
This acts.
Wise experts tell: Gegl this rolls at leg of development.
Gegl if would acted for all pluginów - Not - this is some ballast.
Steam applications - children Gimp - has service 16; 32 bit (Cinepaint; Krita)
How will it be in 2.8 ?

Cinepaint is a disaster i will not try to recover nothing from there

Yes Partha told me it is probably missing includes.
The problem is i believe i am using the latest ones
[ ] atk-dev_1.32.0-2_win32.zip
[ ] atk_1.32.0-2_win32.zip

atk 1.32.0 isn't very new. I used to build GIMP from official 2.7.3 sources using atk 1.32.0 successfully.
To make configure work for official 2.7.4 sources, I only had to update these libraries:

glib : 2.28.8 -> 2.30.2
gtk+ : 2.24.5 -> 2.24.8
gdk-pixbuf : 2.22.1 -> 2.24.0
pango : 1.28.3 -> 1.29.4

cool! when will this version be out rod?

OK, I was able to fix tools\test-clipboard.c
by undefining G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED like that:

in my build it had no problem with
gimp-git-master was used official release version(Dec. 11)
gegl source tarball Dec. 12 #331
glib : 2.31.2
gtk+ : 2.24.8
gdk-pixbuf : 2.24.0
pango : 1.29.4
atk : 1.32.0

There is a ATK 2.2.0 out now
Going to try that.

James is GEGL and the Cage Transform Tool working in your compile? Also did you compile for Windows?

Instead of adding this to every include that deprecates as there are many atk/includes that do, i wonder if you could do something like this in the configure line?

Maybe by Thursday morning as it is compiling without errors now with the new atk installed.

I had to compile that first by the way no windows version available for that yet.

Keep your fingers crossed!

I think they already added it everywhere as needed, but only missed that one place.

But I decided to update glib to 2.31.2 which doesn't have that problem, apparently.

Hey all,

Have been quite busy (year end and all). I will try to have a new build up soon.

Stay tuned.

Thanks,
Partha

Yes
I compiled for win32
and it works fine.

It finally complied successfully for me too.
