Re: [Gimp-developer] More Windows Newbie Build Problems
Von: Chris Share [EMAIL PROTECTED] checking if Pango is version 1.11.0 or newer... no checking if Pango is built with a recent fontconfig... no Any ideas about what I need to do to fix this? Get a more current version of Pango. The win32 folders at ftp.gtk.org usually contain all matching versions for a release. BTW, is this script still maintained? The current problems are probably due to the fact that is was never used to build GIMP 2.3 or directly from CVS, but is there someone who cares for it and adds the latest libs at least? As a side note, anyone using this script is strongly advised to see it a a convenience script and not something that is required to build GIMP on windows. You should make yourself familiar with it and understand why it does and why it does it - and how you can do the same without it.

Re: [Gimp-developer] More Windows Newbie Build Problems
I'm currently using Pango version 1.10.1 which is in the gtk/2.8 folder. There isn't a windows folder in the 2.9 folder however there are later versions of Pango. Should I use one of these? I don't know anything about the build script. I found it at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/HowToCompileGimp/MicrosoftWindows?highlight=%28windows%29 If this script in only a convenience, what's the recommended way of building the GIMP on Windows?

Should I use one of these? Chris, The 2.9 folder is the development version of GTK. 2.8 is the latest stable series of GTK and would be the best version to compile against. In any event, you're not going to find Windows binaries of 2.9 for a while. At least, that's what seems to be typical. Just grab the latest binaries from the 2.8 series. While the latest binary versions of GTK for Windows haven't been posted yet, you should be able to get by with what's available. I don't know anything about the build script. I found it at http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/HowToCompileGimp/MicrosoftWindows?highlight=%28windows%29 If this script in only a convenience, what's the recommended way of building the GIMP on Windows? This script is a convenience tool. As a matter of fact, even the CompileGIMP.sh script is a convenience tool. You could manually follow the instructions from the script to install MSys, MinGW, and ActivePerl to compile GIMP against, but as mentioned previously in this thread, manually building your compile environment can be more troublesome than anything else when compiling in Windows. And CompileGIMP.sh (unless it's been updated recently) only references libraries and files from GTK 2.6. That's fine unless you plan to compile the GIMP 2.3 series from tarball or CVS. They require GTK 2.8. Hope this helps. Lance ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
Re: [Gimp-developer] More Windows Newbie Build Problems
OK, I've grabbed all the latest versions of the libs that I could find. I'm now getting the following error: checking for GLIB - version = 2.8.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed. configure: error: Test for GLIB failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help. OK. Script is finished now. Earlier, the output is as follows: $ compilegimpshellscript.sh Starting to get build environment for gimp, using gtk 2.6 Testing if wget is available... OK Testing if unzip is available... OK Downloading GTK-packages... Already there - extracting glib-2.8.4. Already there - extracting glib-dev-2.8.4. Already there - extracting gtk+-2.8.9. Already there - extracting gtk+-dev-2.8.9. Already there - extracting pango-1.10.1. Already there - extracting pango-dev-1.10.1. Already there - extracting atk-1.10.3. Already there - extracting atk-dev-1.10.3. OK There seems to be something wrong with glib--any suggestions about how to fix this?

When I upgraded to GLib 2.8.3 it stopped working and I never saw fit to try fixing it. Maybe it's a foregone conclusion, but I assumed that it had to be something with GLib 2.8.3+ as it worked fine last time I tried with GLib 2.8.0. There seems to be something wrong with glib--any suggestions about how to fix this?
