Here's what I needed on Debian sid: git clone https://github.com/mypaint/libmypaint.git cd libmypaint/ sudo apt-get install scons libjson-c-dev sudo scons prefix=/usr/local/gimp-git/ enable_gegl=true install Then configure, make, make install gimp as usual. To use it (I had to dig around the source to figure it out): Tools->Paint Tools->MyPaint Brush (or there's a new icon in the Toolbox), then Windows->Dockable Dialogs->MyPaint Brushes. It shows a selection of standard MyPaint brushes and they work fine in monochrome. Pretty cool! I haven't figured out how to get them in color -- maybe that's not implemented yet. I tried importing some new brushes and that didn't work: @Gimp_Official recently retweeted somebody's collection of neat-looking brushes, so I downloaded them from the link in https://twitter.com/GisselEscu/status/679981643638161408 and tried installing a few of them in ~/.mypaint/brushes but GIMP can't load them and doesn't say why, just: Failed to load data: Error loading [path]/feathersGE.myb Question for somebody who knows about this new libmypaint dependency: should we be keeping up to date on libmypaint? In other words, when I update and build gimp master, I always update and build babl and gegl first. Should I also update and reinstall libmypaint each time I update GIMP? Or should we be using a particular tag or branch of libmypaint? ...Akkana _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
