Sorry, I misunderstood your original goal: If you’re interested in a fix for 
the marching ants problem for GIMP 2.10.28, then this will be much simpler. 
(For some reason, I was thinking you were trying to update the GIMP 3 
prerelease.)

So for this case, we can indeed vet this via `gimp2-devel`, per Bill Cole’s 
suggestion.

It’s not building (on my M1). I haven’t had a chance o look at that in detail 
yet.

Even better: update the checksums version number in the gimp2-devel

You’d probably be better off starting with the pending updates to gimp3-devel, 
available via the following branch:

https://github.com/mascguy/macports-ports/tree/mascguy-gimp3 


However, given the various dependencies in play - including glib2, which will 
need to be updated to 2.69 or later - you might want to wait until I’ve gotten 
this all working. (That branch also includes an update for glib2-devel, to 
2.70. However, the various patches will need to be reviewed - and either 
updated or removed, depending on whether they’re still applicable - before it 
will build successfully. Just as importantly, it will take time before the 
glib2-devel update makes it to master, as there will need to be plenty of peer 
review and testing, prior to an ultimate commit. That certainly won’t prevent 
you from working with all of this in your local sandbox, but just an FYI.)

You’re welcome to tackle this via whatever approach makes the most sense, 
though. Let us know what you decide, as well if you’re able to get it all 
working!

Build from local source tree

[Peter West]

I want to try to build Gimp from the latest checkin to the gimp-2-10 branch, 
which includes a backport of the Wayland fixes which seem to have also fixed 
the marching ants problem.

Given the Portfile and files, how can I specify “build from my local source 
tree.”
