Announcing Grokking the GIMP Online

2000-03-06 Thread Carey Bunks


Dear GIMP developers,

In a few days I'll be officially announcing my Web-site,
Gimp-Savvy.com, which will be the online source for my book "Grokking
the GIMP".  However, before that, I'd like to make a preview of the
site available to the developers (kind of an artist's screening of the
work before releasing it for general public consumption :-) The main
URL for the book is:

  http://gimp-savvy.com/

I hope you find the materials useful and enjoyable.  I'd be very happy
to receive any comments or suggestions you may have.

Best regards,

Carey Bunks

Re: Bug#6916: [gimp-bug] Wrong PERL Path in ./plug-ins/perl/pxgettext

There is a better way. If the scripts start with

#!/usr/bin/env perl

env will search for perl in the path and start it. From the env info-page:

   The first remaining argument specifies the program name to invoke;
it is searched for according to the `PATH' environment variable.  Any
remaining arguments are passed as arguments to that program.

I submitted a similiar bug-report for pyton to the list, but noone
cared to apply it. I do not have CVS-write access so I cant fix it.

Bye,
Simon

Question about make release

2000-03-06 Thread Pierre Rochefort

Hello all!

I started building Gimp using the CVS repository a little while back (2-3 
months). Just recently, I tried to build all the target specified in the 
Makefile. I tried the "make release" but it stops after a while looking for 
a program db2html. Does anybody know where I can find this?

Thanks.
Pierre

P.S.: If it's a silly question, you can reply directly to me ;-)
