I have found a way to re-install the latest version of Intltool!
Cross your fingers for a successful compile.

Though I am almost positive I will need more dependencies...maybe not though.
We shall see soon enough ...

More to come...

Are you compiling BABL and GEGL too, or did yo find compiled versions of the latest libs? I can only find old ones that 2.7.x won't compile against.

Hi RobA,
Here you are.

Good luck,
Gerard.

New problem now, compiler cant seem to find my Perl -- lol
Here we go again. I think now ill switch to a different compiler that see's my Perl/bin/perl path already. =P

actually i just stole these =P
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2.7\lib and stuffed them in my cygwin/bin/lib folder
babl-0.1
gegl-0.1

Got perl to work by copying the C:\Perl folder to my cygwin/opt/ folder too.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BABL_CFLAGS
and BABL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Can i change the version number in the config file to the version i am using?
Will that work you think?

Well needless to say doing the gegl and babl move didn't work...of course

So i downloaded both sources for babl and gegl and compiled those, got to make and needed cygintl-2.dll "go figure"
So now i am downloading cygwin java4 something or other for gcc because its the only way to get the one 48kb dll file...geesh...lol
Now i know why these guys hate compiling this for windows, but once i have everything i can keep doing it hopefully.
Looks like once i have this special dll file required for make.exe ill be all set with babl and gegl...then im off to try another gimp-2.7.2 compile...hopefully this time i will get to make install.

Cross your fingers again =)

@Rob - i got the babl and gegl versions from here
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... w%3Awin32#

ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gegl/0.1/

BABL successfully compiled, but when i try and compile GEGL i get a nasty i cant find BABL....hrmmmmm
Anyone know where i need to place these babl exe files so GEGL can see them and compile too?
I placed them in the path of the compiler
C:\cygwin\lib
C:\cygwin\dev
C:\cygwin\share

None of these paths seem to work. =\

I'm about to expose my severe lack of experience, but wouldn't the compiler/linker be looking for a BABL library not an exe?

When doing the last step remember to add the right flag (soorry i forget which but i remember well the problem )
if not you gimp will remain inside MinGW, sparse in the diffrent program folders (still will somehow work, but will be a pain )

Sorry if i can't help for the actual problem, did you try to ask on the gimp IRC ?

@Kevin - the BABL LIB files are in that path also. =)

Not yet, i did post something on the registry help forum though.
I tried to alter the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, no go there either.
So i changed the variable in system to BABL_LIBS C:\cygwin\bin\ <-- should i add .libs at the end of this path?
That's where the exe and BABL lib files are (bin).

I'm stuck folks.

Why oh why can't they make a version of babl and gegl available with cygwin update?
Then it would download , set default registry paths, and install itself.
I am pretty sure all i need to do is compile GEGL now and Gimp will compile and make.

@PC - I am using cygwin not MinGW, and msys
I think i'll try those again and see if that makes a difference.

Here is an image of the BABL i compiled, does this look right PC?



Ignore the babl folder that's shaded at the bottom, i created that myself.
