@ David

What is the correct procedure to compile gmic_gimp_gtk since cmake was introduced? This was never really answered in a previous post.

To set the scene, this is using an ubuntu 16.04 VM and the Gimp 2.9.5 libs from the 'buntu ppa

Having downloaded a brand-new-up-to-date copy of the code - Is this correct?


I then seem to have a choice


This gets me an executable and as of today the size is 6,819,120 bytes

This works fine in my homespun Gimp 2.9.5 appimage.

example: 2 filters applied one after the other. http://i.imgur.com/hUKv4gI.jpg

or I can compile it using a provided makefile.



This executable is a bit smaller 6,547,048 bytes

It works, but for this version if I apply another filter to the new layer (or new image) in the same image, it brings up an error. http://i.imgur.com/ic9BNv5.jpg

I can drag the new layer to a new image and apply another filter there and that works.

Being a I-can-compile-but-only-just user, some advice please and a suggestion, how about an 'install.txt' file in with the code giving advice.

Hello James,

Actually, both methods should theoretically gives the same plug-in, so there is something strange there.
I don't use the CMakefile myself, to be honest.
I'll investigate when I have time ( ).
