$ meson setup --buildtype=release build

ERROR: Neither directory contains a build file meson.build.

Could it be the meson.build file was not installed?

I don't know what you want to get, so in general:

Build steps:

1. Download the old installer:

https://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/

msys2-x86_64-20211130.exe 30-Nov-2021 19:34 98M

2. Follow the 2-7 steps described on this page https://www.msys2.org/

3. You run the console: mingw64.exe

4. You supplement the msys2 libraries with:

Code: Select all

pacman --noconfirm -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-x86_64-gegl
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gimp mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake

If there is no dependency, you will find them here:
https://packages.msys2.org/search

5. You copy the source files to c:\msys64\home\Your name

6. In the console you go inside the source (where the meson.build file is), e.g.:
cd GEGL_highpass_of_mean_curvature-main/GEGL_highpass_of_mean_curvature-main
(path must be without spaces and with backslashes, i.e. /)

7. Paste code:

Code: Select all

meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build

8. Look for the dll file in the 'build' directory.

There is a problem with the connection.
Tried it now and with no hassle:

What is your current directory? Assuming the Windows build is more or less like the Unix one, it should be that "gimp" directory and look like this:

I assume that you have also built recent versions of babl & gegl?

You are really building the GEGL filters one by one?

Looks like it was installed along with meson, ninja, and gegl but i do not see a meson.build file.
