Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
If you want to hack on the GIMP project, it will make your life easier
|
|
to have the following packages (or newer versions) installed:
|
|
|
|
- GNU autoconf 2.52
|
|
- GNU automake 1.6
|
|
- GNU libtool 1.3.4
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- pkg-config 0.7.0 (or a newer version)
|
|
|
|
Available from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/.
|
|
|
|
- intltoolize 0.17 (or a newer version)
|
|
|
|
Available from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/intltool/.
|
|
|
|
These are only the additional requirements if you want to compile from
|
|
CVS. The file INSTALL lists the various libraries we depend on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compilation
|
|
-----------
|
|
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-1.6; automake-1.6 -a; autoconf
|
|
cvsroot/gimp# glib-gettextize; intltoolize
|
|
|
|
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 glib-2.0.m4 glib-gettext.m4, gtk-2.0.m4,
|
|
pkg.m4 and intltool.m4 are either installed in the same
|
|
$prefix/share/aclocal relative to your automake/aclocal installation
|
|
or call autogen.sh with
|
|
|
|
'ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I $prefix/share/aclocal" ./autogen.sh'.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CVS
|
|
---
|
|
GIMP is available from GNOME CVS. You can also grab glib, pango, atk,
|
|
gtk+, libart, gtkhtml2 as well as intltool and gtk-doc from the same
|
|
CVS server. You can use the following commands to get them from the
|
|
anonymous CVS server:
|
|
|
|
$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gimp.org:/cvs/gnome'
|
|
$ cvs login
|
|
(there is no password, just hit return)
|
|
$ cvs -z3 checkout [-r <branch>] <module>
|
|
|
|
The interesting modules and the suggested branches to use are:
|
|
|
|
glib (glib-2-0)
|
|
atk (atk-1-0)
|
|
pango (pango-1-0)
|
|
gtk+ (gtk-2-0)
|
|
libart_lgpl
|
|
gtkhtml2
|
|
intltool
|
|
gtk-doc
|
|
|
|
|
|
Patches
|
|
-------
|
|
Please submit patches to the gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu
|
|
mailing list. It's also a good idea to file a bug-report at
|
|
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ and attach your patch to it. All kinds
|
|
of contributions are appreciated.
|
|
|
|
Large patches can also be uploaded to ftp://ftp.gimp.org/incoming/
|
|
Follow the rules there for naming your patches.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Autogenerated Files
|
|
-------------------
|
|
Please notice that some files in the source are generated from other
|
|
sources. All those files have a short notice about being autogenerated
|
|
somewhere at the top. Among them are the files ending in _pdb.[ch] in
|
|
the libgimp directory and the files ending in _cmds.c in the app/pdb
|
|
subdirectory. Those are generated from the respective .pdb files in
|
|
tools/pdbgen/pdb. The list of contributors is used in several files
|
|
which are for that reason generated from the file contributors in
|
|
tools/authorsgen.

Hackordnung
|
|
-----------
|
|
We encourage you to follow the GIMP coding style throughout the GIMP
|
|
project. For the core components (application and libs) this coding
|
|
style is enforced. The GIMP coding style is defined as follows:
|
|
|
|
Function names are lowercase, words separated by underscores.
|
|
Macros and enums are all uppercase, words seperated by underscores.
|
|
Types are all words capitalized, no separators between words.
|
|
|
|
All functions in header files need to be prototyped.
|
|
|
|
Indentation rules are GNU coding style, in particular:
|
|
- 2 characters indentation level
|
|
- Do not use tabs (of course your editor can use tabs, but it
|
|
should write them to file as 8 spaces each).
|
|
- Opening brackets are on a new line and indented one level.
|
|
- Function header have the return type on one line, the name
|
|
starting in the first column of the following line. All
|
|
parameters are prototyped and there's a new line for each.
|
|
|
|
Try to make use of GLib's object system as much as possible. Do not
|
|
create wrappers around functions of parent classes. If you end up
|
|
duplicating code, try to create a common parent class and implement
|
|
the common methods there.
|
|
|
|
Don't include headers in headers except where unavoidable (e.g. for
|
|
deriving objects). Opaque typedefs go to app/base/base-types.h,
|
|
app/core/core-types.h etc. See devel-docs/includes.txt for a
|
|
detailed description of the include policy.
|
|
|
|
Don't use the GTK wrappers around the GLib object and signal system.
|
|
|
|
One goal of the 1.3 development branch is to make the GIMP code more
|
|
readable and understandable. Please help us to achieve this goal by
|
|
cleaning up the present code and make sure that all new code follows
|
|
the coding guidelines.
