I've got some GIMP plugins downloaded that I want to use. They require Gimp-Perl, which I've downloaded and need to compile. Only problem is I need gimptool. Where can I find this?

Instead of compiling dependencies one by one, I would recommend installing the slackware package.

You can download it from here http://www.slackware.com/pb/download.php?q=10.0/gimp-2.0.2-i486-1

Installing it is quite easy. I would recommend to install it first in a test pup file before doing it in your stable environment as slackware package are not always compatible with the libraries included in Puppy.

Download the gimp-2.0.2-i486-1.tgz file to / and execute the following commands:

Here's a more complete answer. Our compiling environment (usr_devx.sfs) does not contain any of the Gimp development headers. If you want to compile Gimp plugins you will either need to compile Gimp yourself or get a package that has the headers in it.
