Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp-Perl plugin fails to compile.
Von: Rikard Johnels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gimp seems to be a VERY difficult piece of software to get going from scratch if you are a dabbling neewbie in compiling/programming Yes. If you want something easy, compile a hello.c... Far to many depends that arent clearly stated. Form Gimp-Perl's README: PREREQUISITES [...] Gtk, the perl extension for gtk+2 http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net [...] PDL, the Perl Data Language http://www.cpan.org/ [...] I need gazillion libs installed and zonks of perl utils to even THINK of starting a compilation. Yes. Your package manager will help you to get all of them easily, though (if you don't have a package manager of it fails to do this easily, your're using the wrong platform) And frankly.. It suck! I'll refuse to comment on this, because all the replies I can think of are insulting :) HTH, Michael -- 5 GB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS http://www.gmx.net/de/go/promail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Usercommunity software like Gimp IS (inherently) not complete. But then again not all commercial ones are either :) Gimp as it is is very nice. And maturing all the time. What bugs me is the lack of ease in compiling it. There aren't any clear lists of dependencies and prerequisites listed anywhere. All you get is an error at either config or compile time. And not all of them are easy to resolve. It would be so much easier if there was a small file or something, listing what libs and utils need to be installed to compile the software. I think that would cut a lot of the usual questions on the lists. The same i cant compile type questions keep creeping up. And most of them seem to be old or missing libs. A list of used ones would ease things up for us dont have a clue kind of ppl :) Just my 2 cents... -- /Rikard Sharing knowledge is the most fundamental act of friendship.
