This is an unstable version of the GIMP, intended for developers
|
|
only. Even more so the Win32 port.
|
|
|
|
For more information about the port or GLib, GTk+ and the GIMP to
|
|
native Windows, and pre-built binary packages, see
|
|
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ or
|
|
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
|
|
|
|
To build the GIMP on Win32, you can use either the Microsoft compiler
|
|
or gcc without the produced executables depending on the cygwin dll
|
|
(gcc -mno-cygwin). For more information about the preparation
|
|
necessary for building with gcc, what version you want and where to
|
|
get it, etc, read README.win32 in the GLib 1.3 distribution.
|
|
|
|
The GIMP wants to be built with the GNU "intl" library for
|
|
internationalisation (i18n). Get the version ported to Win32 (not a
|
|
very big deal) from tml's web site mentioned above. We build the
|
|
"intl" library to a DLL called gnu-intl.dll to reduce name clash
|
|
risks. If you don't want any i18n stuff, undefine ENABLE_NLS in the
|
|
config.h.win32 file, and remove references to the gnu-intl library
|
|
from the makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Note that while the GNU gettext package is under the GPL, the "intl"
|
|
library part as distributed with GNU libc is under the LGPL (like GTk+
|
|
or GLib). We want the LGPL one, even if they are the same, more or
|
|
less. It doesn't matter much for the GIMP which itself is under the
|
|
GPL, but does a bit for GTk+, which is under the LGPL.
|
|
|
|
First, build in the libgimp directory, then in tools/gcg, then in app,
|
|
plug-ins, and finally in modules. Check the makefile.msc or
|
|
makefile.cygwin files in said directories.
|
|
|
|
The current build setup for Windows is a mess, with complex
|
|
hand-maintained makefiles. I know. Adding parallel makefiles for gcc
|
|
didn't make it any cleaner. On the other hand, I don't think using the
|
|
Unix style configuration mechanism (under cygwin) is quite feasible,
|
|
either.
