Need gimptool to compile GIMP-Perl (for GIMP plugins...)

[jcagle]

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?

checking for gimp-2.0... no
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... no
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed
checking for gimptool-2.0... /usr/bin/gimptool-2.0
checking for GIMP - version >= 2.0.0... no
*** Could not run GIMP 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 GIMP was incorrectly installed
*** or that you have moved GIMP since it was installed. In the latter case, you
*** may want to edit the gimptool-2.0 script: /usr/bin/gimptool-2.0
configure: error: ** unable to find gimp, make sure it's in your path (version 1.3.15+ required!)

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.ph ... 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:

Code: Select all

cd /
tar -xvzPf gimp-2.0.2-i486-1.tgz
install/doinst.sh

Please not that the download is 10 MB and it installs 27 MB.

That's it.

Thanks. I'll download that tonight.

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.

configure: error: ** unable to find gimp, make sure it's in your path (version 1.3.15+ required!)

If you have any specific plugins in mind I might be able to have a go myself. Let me know. Alternatively, I could possibly make a Gimp package for you that would include the headers and other things neccessary for compiling against (Although it would be quite a bit larger that way). Just don't ask me to include python support, too.
