So I thought I would ask to see if that was true. You are correct they are different, just by shading. Jason

Re: Gimp on MacOS
Hello, As far as webspace, there are a few places that will host free and open source projects: SourceForge http://sourceforge.net/ OpenAvenue http://www.openavenue.com/ Netpedia http://www.netpedia.net/ Lusis http://www.lusis.org/ SEUL http://www.seul.org/ I'm pretty sure there are more too. (SourceForge seems to be the best known and most popular.) As far as the Win32 GIMP page on Gimp.org... it is only mirrored there, not hosted. The real URL for the page is... http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/ But, as a shortcut, you can type... http://www.gimp.org/win32 When you produce some code, I'd imagine that those at gimp.org would be happy to link to you.

As a mac geek as well as a Linux Geek, I'd love to see this. I can't afford Photoshop on the Mac nad there really is no other tool that compares. I say go for it. I don't have Mac OS X right now or I'd help you out. -- __ _ Carl B.

Hi, I think this is actually a *very* good idea. However, as I said before, there will be almost nothing to "port" because porting it will mostly mean porting Gtk+. GIMP itself should compile out of the box on OS-X's BSD interface. BTW, it sould be much easier to port Gtk 1.3 to OS-X because it already provides a Gdk frontend-backend separation for different windowing systems. Once this is done it shouldn't be too hard to port Gimp 1.2 to Gtk+ 2.0 (which should be done anyway after Gtk 2.0 is out or usable because Gimp 2.0 is still pure science fiction). ciao, --Mitch
Gimp on MacOS
I have checked out the current projects and they seem dead. I e-mailed the project admins and it seems that we would be going in totally different directions with our development. What would everybody think about an OS-X native version of gimp? Does anybody know if Gimp.org will put me on their page and give me some space for the page? I think they did for the Windows ports.

(I will basically run on anything you can compile the C code on. Most CPUs, including the PPC family and x86 family, have C compilers.) (Of course you still have to port it over to the MacOS operating system. The GIMP already run on Linux for PPC,... but that's a different story.) > I e-mailed the guy who wants to port gimp to MacOS X to get his thoughts as > he is not a programmer. > > Does anybody want to see Gimp on Mac OS or OS X? I have friends who use Mac, and want to use the GIMP on it (after seeing it on Linux). I try to get them to use Linux, but they won't until Linux gets a good non-linear movie editor. (That's part of the reason I'm working on matterial: http://matterial.sourceforge.net/ ) So they stay with Mac because of Final Cut. If you set up a webpage, mailing list, or anything for it, let me know please. See ya Charles Iliya Krempeaux

Gimp on MacOS
I use Metrowerks, but not Powerplant, I am used to straight C already. Does Gimp run on Linux PPC or just x86? I e-mailed the guy who wants to port gimp to MacOS X to get his thoughts as he is not a programmer. Does anybody want to see Gimp on Mac OS or OS X? Jason
