Hi this is my first post to this list I just made an alpha release of the Gimp packages entirely compiled with Visual Studio 2005 (can't release vs 2008 binaries before VS 2008 is out it is tested and waiting for MSFT) and linked against microsoft dynamic runtime libraries using sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-vs/
Releases are available from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=209784 The need came to have coherent binaries when allocation problem araised when mixing mingw and ms tuntimes . Gimp was not planned but was just one step(project) beyond the compilation set . Right now available packages are : atk 1.20.0 bzip2 1.0.4 cairo 1.5.2 fontconfig 2.4.91 freetype 2.3.5 gettext 0.14.4 gimp 2.4.1 (will update to latest soon) glib 2.14.4 gtk+ 2.12.2 jpeg 6b libart_gpl 2.3.19 libiconv 1.19.2 libpng 1.2.22 libxml2 2.6.30 pango 1.19 pcre 7.4 tiff 3.8.2 zlib 1.2.3 and come into two flavours debug and release builds. Microsoft Runtime SP1 needs to be downloaded from Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) 2.6 MB from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en since until I get more precise advice , I follow the gettext-0.4.14 readme.woe32 comment : --------------------------- Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA. You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system. Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0 and earlier. --------------------------- Debug versions are intented for developpers and debugging symbols are missing in this alpha release. GIMP 2.5 will be added in a few hours , and will come as an update package . Pixel loaders don't show up so u can't import external formats in GIMP , nor export them (use an older release , save to gimp native foramt et voila for now :) I cross post this only for the first annoucement, further notices will only go on gtk-win32 mailing list. NOTE , this is an alpha release and is not intented to be used in production environments. Any feedback is welcome Pierre Barthe
