If you want to hack on the GIMP project, it will make you life easier
|
|
to have the following packages installed:
|
|
|
|
- GNU autoconf 2.13
|
|
- GNU automake 1.4
|
|
- GNU libtool 1.2d
|
|
- GNU gettext 10.35
|
|
Available in ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu
|
|
|
|
|
|
These should be available by ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu or any of the
|
|
fine GNU mirrors. Beta software can be found at alpha.gnu.org.
|
|
|
|
If you are accessing gimp via CVS, then you will need to take several
|
|
steps to get it to compile. You can do all these steps at once
|
|
by running:
|
|
|
|
cvsroot/gimp# ./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
Basically this does the following for you:
|
|
|
|
cvsroot/gimp# aclocal; automake; autoconf
|
|
|
|
The above commands create the "configure" script. Now you
|
|
can run the configure script in cvsroot/gimp to create all
|
|
the Makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Before running autogen.sh or configure, make sure you have libtool
|
|
in your path. Also make sure gtk.m4 is in the same --prefix relative
|
|
to your automake installation.
|
|
|
|
Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass
|
|
options like --prefix=/usr to configure you can give those options
|
|
to autogen.sh and they will be passed on to configure.
|
|
|
|
If at all possible, please use CVS to get the latest development version of
|
|
gimp, as well as the CVS version of gtk+. You can do the following to get
|
|
gimp and gtk+ from cvs:
|
|
|
|
$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gimp.org:/cvs/gnome'
|
|
$ cvs login
|
|
(there is no password, just hit return)
|
|
$ cvs -z3 checkout gtk+ gimp
|
|
|
|
Please submit patches to the gimp-developer@scam.xcf.berkeley.edu mailing
|
|
list. All kinds of contributions are accepted. Patches that you wish to go
|
|
into the distribution should also be uploaded to ftp://ftp.gimp.org/incoming.
|
|
Follow the rules there for naming your patches.

Please notice that some files in the source are generated from other sources.
|
|
Among these are the files ending in _pdb.[ch] in the libgimp directory
|
|
and the files ending in _cmds.c in the app subdirectory. Those are generated
|
|
from the respective .pdb files in tools/pdbgen/pdb. All those files have a
|
|
short notice about being autogenerated somewhere at the top.
