Re: [Gimp-developer] How to compile a vala GIMP plugin on Windows pc?

 Hi Liam,


After trying: valac -X -DGETTEXT_PACKAGE="\"gimp\"" --pkg=gimp-3.0
--pkg=gimp-ui-3.0 goat-exercise-vala.vala

The old error is gone. I'm now getting a new/different error.

this is a warning, not an error. Capture the full log, and maybe use
pastebin.com or pastie.org or include it as a text file attachment.

Usually with a compiler the actual error is at or near the end of the
output.

Thanks Liam for the files. I'm gonna try and compile the plugin. I hope

Thanks for all your help.

Curses, foiled again! :-)

Glad it's gotten easier, I keep thinking MS might go with the nix in the 
end, once someone looks at the amount of internal effort it takes given 
the nix are so mature, respected, and supported.

You need gimp-ui-3.0.vapi and gimp-3.0.vapi;also bable-0.1.vapi and
gegl-0.4.vapi; on Linux these end up in $PREFIX/share/vala/vapi - i'm
not sure about Windows installs, sorry, maybe someone else can help
with that. But they should be included.

You'll also want to find gimptool-2.99; this has an option to build a
plugin from source, although i don't know if it  works for vala i don't
see why not. You may need to generate the C first using vala, as you
found. I found examples on the Web of people using gimptool in MINGW.

You should have everything you need, depending on where you got gimp.


It's  more  of a mess than usual right now for gimp 2.99.x or gimp 3,
as a lot of API stuff is in transition to 3.0 and instrospection.

2021-01-03 Thread Pen Guin via gimp-developer-list 
Thanks everyone, for your valuable input.

STATUS UPDATE:

* I have installed msys2 on my windows 8 pc.
* I have installed vala development tools (and its dependencies, gcc
compiler, etc) also.
* I am able to compile vala prog/scripts successfully. This includes
standalone prog/scripts as well as library dependent prog/scripts.
* As an example of 3rd party library prog compilation: I installed
Gtk3 library. Later, I compiled my sample prog/script via: valac
--pkg=gtk+-3.0 testing_gtk.vala
The prog compiled without any warnings and it is working ok.

* UNRESOLVED ISSUE: Compiling GIMP 2.99.x plugin using vala:

In order to compile a prog/script/plugin relating to a 3rd party
library, vala requires:
1) C Header files of that library
2) Vapi (binding) file/s of that library

Question 1: To get GIMP header files and vapi (binding) file/s, which
version/repo of GIMP should I download? Please specify exact url link
of the resource to avoid possible mixup.


Question 2: Please specify path of the folder/folder-tree where GIMP
header files are stored.


Question 3: Please specify path of the folder/folder-tree where vala
vapi (binding) files are stored.

Any other tips, guidance in this regard shall be appreciated.

Thanks.

You will have to install MSys2 from , and then set up 
environment inside MSys2 - install GTK+ 3, gegl, babl etc. You can then follow 
the guides for compiling GIMP on Linux.

Hi,

I have downloaded GIMP 2.99.4 on my Windows 8 pc.

I want to compile the goat-exercise vala plugin shipped with GIMP.  Can
anyone please tell me how can I compile a vala plugin on my pc? What other
softwares AND/OR dependent-files do I need to download? What command and
attributes do I need to pass to the vala compiler to get a working exe
without any errors?
