SGI 1.1.29 build fails on Gimp-Perl what to do??
hello all ;-) not really a core gimp devel/debug issue, but pretty frustrating just the same. 1.1.29 seems to build fine up to the point that it hits the perl extension. I;ve compiled & installed all the various PDL, Parse::Rec Descent, Gtk+-Perl stuff etc. and .configure goes through the motions just fine when configuring it. Here's the make output: Making all in perl gmake[3]: Entering directory `/usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins/perl' gmake[4]: Entering directory `/usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins/perl/ Gimp' gcc -c -I/usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins/perl -I../../.. -I/usr/peo ple/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins/perl/../.. -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I /usr/local/include -I/usr/local/lib/glib/include -I/usr/local/include -DGTK_DIS ABLE_COMPAT_H -I/usr/share/lib/perl5/site_perl/PDL/Core -g -O2 -O2 -DVERSIO N=\"1.201\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.201\" -I/usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE -Ddatadir="\"/usr/local/share\"" -DHAVE_PDL=1 Lib.c In file included from /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE/perlio.h:23, from /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE/perl.h:181, from /usr/share/lib/perl5/site_perl/PDL/Core/pdlcore.h:3, from Lib.xs:20: /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE/perlsdio.h:268: warning: `getc_unlock ed' redefined /usr/include/stdio.h:394: warning: this is the location of the previous definiti on /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE/perlsdio.h:270: warning: `putc_unlock ed' redefined /usr/include/stdio.h:396: warning: this is the location of the previous definiti on In file included from /usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins/perl/gppport. h:149, from Lib.xs:34: /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE/patchlevel.h:40: redefinition of `loc al_patches' /usr/share/lib/perl5/irix-n32/5.00404/CORE/patchlevel.h:40: `local_patches' prev iously defined here gmake[4]: *** [Lib.o] Error 1 gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins/perl/G imp' gmake[3]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins/perl' gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29/plug-ins' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/people/avi/tmp/src/gimp-1.1.29' gmake: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 my analysis is that SGI default perl (5.004_4) is missing some stuff that Gimp::Perl needs. I don't think it has anything to do with the various Perl modules I installed (all of which compiled/installed flawlessly). Am I correct?? If so is there some patch I can apply so that I wont need to install perl 5.005 into /usr/freeware?? I read in the ChangeLog of Gimp::Perl that some workarounds for 5.004 had been submitted... BTW. I'm no perl coder myself, so I haven;t the foggiest idea where to start 'problem solving' on this one. kind regards, avi PS. versions used: perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 4 subversion 4) (SGI default) PDL 2.1.1 (no slatec, no gsl, no fftw) RecParseDescent 1.66 Data-Dumper-2.101 File-Spec-0.82 Gtk-Perl-0.7000 (gtk only, no gnome) GNU Make version 3.79.1 gcc version 2.95.2
Expert fonts - are there known problems??
Hi All, I've converted some Mac fonts with t1unmac from the t1utils package to the endianness of my x86 PC, and am seeing strange behaviour in the GIMP. Basically some do and some don't work. In particular one font which has expert features like hanging numbers and small caps etc. completely crashes GIMP - it simply disappears with out a trace. No debug monitor - nothing. I'm going to do some more tests with this font today, in StarOffice and maybe blender, but maybe someone has seen this behaviour too?? The font is Utopya, it's a real adobe release and not some cheap shareware rip-off effort. Other fonts of equal pedigree convert flawlessly. any pointers?? kind regards, avi bercovich ---------- Avi Bercovich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sinjeur Semeynsstraat 9 Dept. of Social Science Informatics (SWI) 1183LD Amstelveen University of Amsterdam

Please answer me, and tell me if you are > satisfaced with gimp. elen. I've just taken a job as a 'new media designer' at an established design company where Macs hold sway - all the way. I;m the only guy that uses Unix (GNU/Linux) on the desktop and I use GIMP as my main app. So yes, you can use GIMP as your main app in a RealWorld(tm) 'there's money on the line here' environment. The GIMP as an application has all of the functionality you need to do work for with bitmapped images for screen/on-line presentation. and does a presentable job in other fields too. It is still weak for heavy duty Pre-Press. I refer you to the usenet archives for the whole scoop on that issue. However, GIMPs scriptability is _way_ beyond anything else out there I;ve used. But I really do think that there are some interface issues that need to be adressed at some point. Probably in the 2.0 development cycles. Mainly the operations for grouping/tagging and selecting layers need an update. Also the selection/marquee tools need a look. But GIMP 1.2.xx is in feature freeze now, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for 2.xx. As it is I'm really thankful to the GIMP developers that I can do what I;m doing now on GNU/Linux because of GIMP and not have to use MS Windows or MacOS... Big Respect!! But I've had to invest a bit of time to get the unix environment fully integrated into the workflow here. Mainly read/writing psd and reading apple fileshares and other stuff like java clients for scheduling and projectmanagement, or vmware to run those pesky ms-windows clients... If you're not comfortable in getting the nitty gritty unix file sharing stuff or GIMP patching for psd write-capability sorted, ON YOUR OWN (since no resident Mac-head will be able to help you with much) then I wouldn;t even try to use GIMP as your main app. It's not the GIMP - but your environment & workflow that's the problem. just my 0.02. avi

Bugs?? on IRIX...
Hi All, Do I post bugs here, or on some wunnerfull automated bug-tracking system?? Am running 1.1.22 on SGI IRIX 6.5.8m with gtk 1.2.7. ttfn, avi -- Avi Bercovich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sinjeur Semeynsstraat 9 Dept. of Social Science Informatics (SWI) 1183LD Amstelveen University of Amsterdam

Even better would be some kind of merge of Guash with the file dialog. Especially for those of us that are running GIMP seperate from GNOME. > CONS: > A few things in the core application: > * Layers and channels are *not* intuitive enough. as has been noted by glyph lefkovitz, that that's very personal. But I think a function that would allow the grouping/ungrouping of layers would be a super great incredibly huge megariffic improvement. And how about including a compile-time or gimprc setting for removal/hiding of the layers-dialog close btn?? Pretty Please?? The only time I've ever used it was when I've mis-clicked the other buttons at the bottom of the layers dialog. > PROBLEMS: > * Printing (under Linux) yields back results on certain printers > (HP DeskJet 690C). adjusting the gamma of the image works really well for me. Maybe the print dialog should offer some 'standard' gamma settings. And yes, I'd try and code my comments myself but tcl/tk doesn't get you very far in core-gimp.
