Apps :: The Gimp 2.4



I don't think it would be that difficult, just very, very tedious.

You could start with pango-1.12.2, use "./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.4 --enable-shared --disable-static" as a starting point, add anything needed from "./configure --help" and go for it.

I'd appreciate somebody testing the compile-3.3.5.uci extension :)
I did look into this a little more and, yes, it was tedious...

So far I compiled freetype-2.1.8 -> fontconfig-2.2.0 -> glib-2.14.0 -> pango-1.12.2 -> atk-1.9.0

and now I'm stuck because the next steps are cairo-1.2.0 -> gtk+-2.10.13 and I cannot compile cairo. Even if I compile with --disable-xlib-xrender (or something like that), I get:
Code Sample
$ make
...
In file included from cairo-xlib-surface.c:40:
cairo-xlib-xrender.h:44:36: X11/extensions/Xrender.h: No such file or directory

It would seem to make sense that cairo is built so that it uses the xlibs in the base dsl rather than obliging a user to load xfree86 or xorg72. In addition, I doubt (but could easily be wrong) that including additional xlibs in an eventual extension would work well with the base dsl, so I don't know which way to go next.

Any ideas (as stated in another thread, cairo is used in several other applications that could be interesting on dsl)?
OK, so I managed to compile cairo-1.2 but now I'm stuck compiling gimp-2.4 itself:
Code Sample
$ make
...
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -o .libs/gimp-thumbnail-list gimp-thumbnail-list.o  ./.libs/libgimpthumb-2.0.so
/opt/gimp-2.4/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined reference to `g_datalist_unset_flags'
/opt/gimp-2.4/lib/libgthread-2.0.so.0: undefined reference to `g_thread_gettime'
./.libs/libgimpthumb-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_intern_static_string'
etc, etc...

I've tried google on "undefined reference to `g_datalist_unset_flags'" and get 4 hits but I cannot access any of the sites - can anyone help out?

Note:
Code Sample
$ ldd /opt/gimp-2.4/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
       libglib-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gimp-2.4/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x40035000)
       libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400f7000)
       /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
-  I'm using glib-2.14 which should be sufficiently uptodate
I get the same four hits.  you're right, the top two won't open.  But the Google 'Cached' link did for the first one and the last one.  The Cached links are underneath the main listing to the right of the URL shown in green.
Anything to do with 'undefined reference' is usually a missing/mismatched header for a lib.

I've tried getting into the google refs.  Contexts are not exactly the same.

Two suggest there is a problem with cairo or pango installs/versions.

al parecer hay problemas con las librerias de pango y cairo.... dijate si las instalaste bien, que version de UTUTO tenes instalada??


Another got this error building glib2 when using apgcc but not when compiling with gcc.  

Finally, German one:

Quote
`Ldd / usr/local/gnome-2.15.90/lib/libgobject-2.0.so` should provide information, which is probably wrong (an old) library glib up.


Dealing with prior errors suggested that linking was borked and asked if LD_LIBARY_PATH had been set.  One good idea from there was to do:

grep 'error' config.log
tail config.log

and look for errors.

Good luck.

EDIT:    g_datalist_unset_flags appears to be prototyped in glib.h
