Direction sought for scripting
I'm new to this group and have used The Gimp only a little over the last few months. I've spent the last couple of weeks reading what I could of how to go about interfacing to The Gimp from a language other than scheme or perl, and I'm rather confused :-( In the 1.1.25 source distro, the notes associated with pdbgen seem to suggest that an interface to libgimp is what I am looking for, but I obviously don't understand the architecture of this interface. I'm also confused by how a plug-in is controlled and what the difference is between a plug-in and a module. Perhaps its easier if I explain how I want to use the Gimp, and someone can tell me if I'm way off track or not. I want to be able to write an extension to Rexx, which allows me to access all of the Gimp functionality, presumably with PDB, from within a Rexx program, and have the Rexx program control the logic. Something like: (excuse the errors in logic; I'm not that familiar with Gimp) img = GimpCreateImage(...) Do 5 /* create 5 layers */ Call GimpAddLayer(img,...) End etc I assumed that simply wrapping the calls in libgimp, into Rexx-callable functions would be all that is required, but when I linked the interface I found I needed to define my own PLUG_IN_INFO structure. Now this structure implies that using libgimp enables me to write a plug-in and presumably register that plugin, but that I then have to run this new plug-in from the Gimp, and it is the Gimp that controls the execution of the plug-in, not the other way around. This is where I'm confused :-( Any explanation to clarify the situation would be appreciated.

Then I got all the files. Hmm. I did a cvs update -A -d -P, so I also have all the files... and confauthorsgen is a generated file, so I doubt missing files is a problem. -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
Re: confauthorsgen?
Hi, I had the same problem. Then I removed my local CVS copy of GIMP and checked it out again. Then I got all the files. --Peter Marc Lehmann wrote: > > Just FYI, I while running configure I get this message: > > ./configure: confauthorsgen: No such file or directory > > (I re-ran autogen.sh before doing this). > > -- > -==- | > ==-- _ | > ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- > --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| > -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ > The choice of a GNU generation | > | -- Peter Kirchgessner WWW:http://www.kirchgessner.net e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
confauthorsgen?
Just FYI, I while running configure I get this message: ./configure: confauthorsgen: No such file or directory (I re-ran autogen.sh before doing this). -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |
