Re: [Trisquel-users] software updates repos vs build myself

[TralfamadorianOrator]

To avoid breaking any dependencies, you can also install everything  
(including new build dependencies) in a separate directory using the  
"--prefix" option.

I still use Trisquel 5.0 (dagda), but I want to use the newest release of  
GIMP, so I build its newer dependencies, glib, gtk+, babl, gegl, cairo, atk,  
gdk-pixbuf, pango, pixman, with "--prefix=/opt/gimp".
