Gimp 2.3.6 deb

[kakashi]

hi all. i have recently started making deb files the source programs i compile. no i am not very good at it but i am not too bad either. i made this deb for myself (to get the experrince of compiling gimp in deb form and to update my own gimp).

well here is a torrent for it.

please use this the tell me if this works. one problem you might have is that this single deb replaces all the gimp packages installed like a libgimp and others. sorry i have yet to figure out how to make multi-binaries.
PLEASE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK:KS
. (had to add this since most other guides and stuff have this :rolleyes: )

if this works and is good enough for use then i shall make debs for the cvs version.
edit.
rubinstein confirmed that it does work but you'll hve to rmove
gimp, gimp-data and libgimp
use this

apt-get remove --purge gimp gimp-data libgimp2.0

i noticed that the torrent was not working so i uploaded the deb to rapidshar .

Hi,

how did you compile TheGimp! ???
The only message I get is the following:

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.6.0... no
*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: Test for GTK+ failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

I dried to install some developement packages for GTK but it doesn't seem to work. Which packages should I install to get the configure working??

Did you use checkinstall or dh_make ??

ok ich found all the packages I need, checkinstall is up and running...
this could take a while now...
