gimp for DEBIAN ---------------------- The GNU Image Manipulation Program lets you draw, edit images, and manipulate them any way you want! This is the developers' release of Gimp. It's a full featured, freely available, non-Motif version of The Gimp. Version 0.99 (soon to be 1) has full layers support, tile-based memory allocation, and a whole bunch of other nifty features. *************** NOTE **************** If you've ever used an older version of The GIMP on your system, you may have to delete the ~/.gimp directory, as different versions are not always compatible. ************************************* WARNING: GIMP is not finished yet. Most of the functionality that will be in the final program is there, but please be aware that this is still a developers' release. In other words, don't run it as root and then scream when it blows up your computer. COMPILING PLUGINS: ----------------- If you wish to compile your own plug-ins, the easiest way is to: gcc -o plug-in plug-in.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgimp -lgimpui -lgtk -lgdk \ -lglib -lm Some plug-ins may require more -l flags, but this should be pretty standard for most of them. Once you've compiled it, copy your new plug-in to ~/.gimp/plug-ins, and restart GIMP! Ben Gertzfield , Tue, 22 Jul 1997 20:53:20 -0500
