Indeed I think it could be a little more centralized. Between developer.gimp.org, the wiki, what is in the repo, etc. I am a little lost and end up spending more time on search engines than in the doc. :-/ > If you'd like a wiki account, I'm told you should hop on IRC and > bother either LightningIsMyName or Alexia_Death. > > Ok I'll pass some time today or another day and ask for an account. > If you need any more help with cross compiling, feel free to ask.

I had so many problems one after the other that I felt asking too much would be bothering everyone. Anyway now I compiled it, well enough to be able to test my patch (that is now in the main repo), so hopefully I won't need to bother with Windows for quite some time. But if I need more, I will ask on the list. :-) Jehan -- drawoc > > On Sun, Nov 11, 2012 at 9:22 PM, Jehan Pagès <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I have tried native compilation (the GIT repo) in a Windows 7 VM; then I > > tried to cross-compile. > > I finally managed to complete the GIMP cross-compilation! > > This email from the archive has been a great help by the way: > > > https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2012-May/msg00067.html > > > > This kind of information should definitely be in a WINDOWS-DEV-README (or > > whatever you wish to call it) file in our repo!
