Jehan 82899764a3 app, INSTALL: remove our Windows-only trick to add user-installed fonts.
This was added in commit 88f97aedef and only expected to last until
fontconfig had a fix **and** it got into a released version.
This is now done.

I could verify in the git repo that fontconfig's commit 55eb1ef is
included since their tagged release 2.13.95 which is now on MSYS2
(2.13.96 there even), so we will use it for our next release.

Thanks to frogonia (long time no see! \O) for following up on this!

Jehan 26f9bcb3b5 INSTALL: explaining a bit more the deal with librsvg.
Rust dependencies are not really making everyone happy apparently. We
don't want to make SVG support optional anymore because it is too
important, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any suitable
replacement SVG libs so far (or we haven't found them).

We explain this in the INSTALL file and also explain a bit how to bypass
the SVG parts for packagers really needing to do so, allowing GIMP to be
as portable as possible.

See also issue #6821.

Jehan a08224f7b3 INSTALL: update the install instructions regarding librsvg.
Currently it's a mandatory option (and it has been the case for years,
ever since commit 43e218859b) so let's update the info.

Note that there are still discussions going on about this dependency and
it being hard or impossible to build on many platforms (which are stuck
on old C version, before the move to Rust). See #6821.
We'll see how it goes.

Jehan 56d6cf6aa1 INSTALL, libgimp: document a bit better the GIR cross-tool exception. 2022-01-06 19:24:32 +01:00
Jehan bea0618883 INSTALL: add xdg-desktop-portal in the runtime dependencies.
Cf. #1074 for color-picking, as well as the screenshot plug-in.

Jehan 2494a06df5 INSTALL: remove --without-libtiff.
It's not optional anymore, for quite some time now.
Reported in #7450.

Jehan d90d622c92 INSTALL: adding infos about `dot` for "gegl:introspect" dependency.
Especially now that this is not a blocking build dependency on GEGL, we
want to have the information somewhere so that packagers (and other
people building GIMP themselves) know this is at least an optional
runtime dependency.

Jehan 9ca18c37cd INSTALL: add information about GEGL options to enable for the…

Jehan 3f59769120 INSTALL: update GEGL build instructions.
Recently updated my distrib, so it's a good time to see what is wrong in
our instructions. In particular, we must build GEGL with Cairo,
otherwise gegl:npd is not built (and it's a mandatory operation for
GIMP).

Jehan 60f1095d4b Issue 5870: add reference to GNU documentation in INSTALL.
We are not going to duplicate the whole autotools documentation. Let's
rather just state we follow the GNU build standards, hence refer to
relevant documentation with a link.

Jehan 4d8c60e4ed INSTALL: update the plug-in API binding dependencies.
Most are runtime dependencies, except for Vala which are build-time
ones.

Jehan 1028345b7b INSTALL: update info about libmypaint.
Since recently, one can also install the new "libmypaint-v1" branch. It
is not so different, but has several fixes. Among them, it fixes
building with recent automake.

Jehan 4d84c1d7ee app, libgimpbase: --enable-relocatable-bundle replaces --enable-binreloc
Older --enable-binreloc configure option had basically the same purpose
as the newer --enable-relocatable-bundle, though the old binreloc was
only used for gimpenv.c code.
As a consequence, commit 10ce702188 was still not working fine since
gimp_installation_directory_file() also need binreloc enabled (to be
actually relocatable).

Let's get rid of this whole mess, by implying we want binreloc code to
be used when --enable-relocatable-bundle is ON. We don't need the
m4macros anymore, since AM_BINRELOC was basically just checking that
`/proc/self/maps` was present. But anyway being present at compile time
does not mean it will be at runtime (nor the opposite). So this test is
not that useful. The binreloc code will anyway fallback gracefully to
the non-binreloc code (i.e. trying to use build-time install paths) if
the procfs is lacking at runtime.

Jehan 5ac267820f INSTALL: update mypaint-brushes repository (finally upstream!).
The MyPaint project now hosts the repository which was under my name
previously. Yeah!
2018-09-30 21:05:59 +02:00
Jehan 9560a653c5 configure: check presence of "gegl:matting-levin" with `gegl --exists`.
This is a runtime dependency. If absent, we simply won't have access to
the alternative Matting Levin engine in the foreground selection tool.

If we don't add a test in configure, this may be easily forgotten. I
created the `gegl --exists` feature specifically for this kind of
checks, so let's check operation existence.

Jehan 530a2bd9a5 INSTALL: add some recommended dependencies to GEGL.
This is a "for info" comment so that packagers don't forget them when we
sometimes depend on some specific GEGL dependencies.

Jehan 2f73a83bbe INSTALL: add info about libheif optional dependency.
Also make it clear that libheif must be built with libde265 support.
2018-05-11 22:56:01 +02:00
Jehan 1806e56405 INSTALL: make clear not to install libmypaint from master.
Also add a note about installing possibly from the release tarball or
from the package manager of a distribution, since apparently some assume
it has to be installed from repository, making their own life harder
that it has to!
Finally split the libmypaint and mypaint-brushes into their own numbers
to make things even clearer.
2018-04-15 00:15:03 +02:00
Jehan 015f2fc800 INSTALL: add gdb or lldb as optional runtime dependencies. 2018-01-28 15:43:07 +01:00
Jehan 21227c2516 INSTALL: various fixes.
Adding GIMP 2.8 as compatible regarding plug-ins, fixing a few typos,
and replacing --enable-vector-icons by --disable-vector-icons (since
vector icons are now the default).
2018-01-19 01:47:22 +01:00
Jehan 0f29e67078 INSTALL: add some information about PKG_CONFIG_PATH for mypaint-brushes.
I didn't think I'd have to be this detailed, but it appears a lot of
people were not aware that data package .pc files would end up under
share/pkgconfig/ (and not lib/) and have problems with installing this
new "mypaint-brushes" dependency. Hopefully this will be enough.

Jehan 1e259e3358 INSTALL: use spaces instead of tabs for pretty-printing.
Using tabs aligns text correctly only if the viewer display tabs the
same size as the editor. Using spaces allows always having well aligned
texts, especially in table-like outputs like this dependency listing.

Jehan 7d8dd66e85 INSTALL: update dependency information.
It seems we forgot to move librsvg from optional to mandatory
dependency. Also add RawTherapee as an optional runtime dependency.
Finally reorder the lists alphabetically.

Jehan a207570cfe Bug 791397 - Gimp import multi page PDF only imports first page.
Poppler and poppler-data are now hard dependencies.
PDF is a common-enough format nowadays that import support is likely
considered as a granted feature by everyone. Moreover the current
fallback to the PostScript plug-in for PDF support just gives a degraded
experience with less features (and probably a lot of bugs since
basically nobody uses this code).
Poppler-data is also considered mandatory because non-western language
support should never be considered an "option". People using non-western
languages are not second class citizens and therefore if we say that PDF
import is now a hard feature, it should also include PDF using CJK or
Cyrillic languages.

We should use "vector icons" instead. Thanks to nomis for raising the
