How to install gimp-2.8.0-RC1.tar.bz2 ubuntu 10.04 or higher?

[davidvandoren]

I have tried all day long to install Gimp 2.8 from source using this gimp-2.8.0-RC1.tar.bz2 file.
Luckily I did this in a virtual pc and not on my host system, because that system is completely toast now.
There were so many dependencies to solve that at the end I marked something like ATK for removal which almost completely erased everything.

Has anyone come across a step by step guide on How to install that source file yet? If so, please share.

Thanks!

I thought I would have a go ....

Got it from here - http://www.gimpusers.com/downloads/58-gimp-2-8-0-rc1-source-code

There is a INSTALL

Document in the release ..... although I too followed it and get stuck at GLIB

this is a 12.04 Kubuntu install and why it thinks there are 2 versions of GLIB
I do not know ..... ( but I do know both are greater than what is needed )

Yet it does not let me continue .....

Not a lot of help I know - but I would like to point this out to the devs as to me
this should not happen and it also should allow me to carry on using the latest
version ....... BABL went in fine pkg-config went in fine .... Initltool went in fine



root@keith-Aspire-7730ZG:/# find / -name glib-2.0

/usr/local/share/glib-2.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0

Then we stopped ..... is there an easy way to point this to the correct one
I have come across this before and not known how to resolve the double
version issue .....

The install document has these requirements in it PLUS - MUCH MORE INFORMATION TOO

PLEASE READ IT AS IT COULD BREAK THINGS IF YOU INSTALL IT AND IT GOES WRONG

WHEN INSTALLING FROM SOURCE FILES THERE IS NO EASY RETURN JOURNEY



1. You need to have installed a recent version of pkg-config available
from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/. done ///

2. You need intltool (at least 0.40.1, but preferably a newer version).
Intltool can be downloaded from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/intltool/. done ///

3. You need to have GEGL version 0.2.0 or newer and babl version
0.1.10 or newer. You can get them from http://gegl.org/ or clone
them from the GNOME git repository:

git://git.gnome.org/babl
git://git.gnome.org/gegl

4. You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.24.10 or newer.
GIMP also need a recent versions of GLib (>= 2.30.2), GDK-Pixbuf
(>= 2.24.1), and Pango (>= 1.29.4). Sources for these can be grabbed
from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/.

5. We use cairo >= 1.10.2, which is hosted at
http://www.cairographics.org/.

6. We require PangoCairo, a Pango backend using Cairo. Make sure you
have Cairo, FreeType2 and fontconfig installed before you compile
Pango. GIMP depends on freetype2 being newer than version 2.1.7
and fontconfig 2.2.0 or newer. Older versions are known to have
bugs that seriously affect the stability of GIMP.

7. We use dbus-glib if available. Grab it from
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-glib/

8. Access of remote files is implemented in the URI plug-in. There
are several possible implementations for this. The implementation
used is determined when you configure GIMP. By default the
GIO/GVfs backend is used. If you don't have GVfs support on your
target platform, you should pass the '--without-gvfs' option to
configure. The configure script will then try to detect another
method for accessing remote files.

9. You may want to install other third party libraries or programs
that are needed for some of the available plug-ins. We recommend
to check that the following libraries are installed: lcms,
libpng, libjpeg, libpoppler, libtiff, webkit, libmng, librsvg,
libwmf, libz, libbzip2, libgs (Ghostscript), libaa and libjasper.

10. The Python extension requires Python development headers to be
present. You will also need PyGTK and the respective development
headers.

11. Configure GIMP by running the `configure' script. You may want
to pass some options to it, see below.

12. Build GIMP by running `make'. The use of GNU make is recommended.
If you need to tweak the build to make it work with other flavours
of make, we'd appreciate if you'd send us a patch with the changes.

13. Install GIMP by running `make install'. In order to avoid clashes
with other versions of GIMP, we install a binary called gimp-2.8.
By default there's also a link created so that you can type 'gimp'
to start gimp-2.8.

Please make sure you don't have any old GTK+-2.x, jpeg, etc. libraries
lying around on your system, otherwise configure may fail to find the
new ones.

Only have 12.04 so only in regards to that. (only earlier ubuntu release you'd need to get a higher libglib I believe

Pretty easy, 12.04 provides all that's needed except gegl & babl versions required.
(acquiring build-deps here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11821399&postcount=21
So you'd build both of those then gimp-2.8 (or wait for a ppa to do

Here's a page that lays out the basic's to build to /opt, I did a varition of that type of build, did use /opt
(have a local build of 2.7.5 in /usr/local, so /opt worked best, plus didn't want the new gegl & babl to interfere

http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/compiling-gimp-for-ubuntu

Here's the full listing of commands I used, start to finish in the same terminal (you must use the same terminal or if not then rerun the export commands before resuming

Do note -
gegl will build with avformat support if the headers are installed. I had a local static build of a recent git FFmpeg. It built off of that without incident but there was a runtime issue
So I temp removed my local FFmpeg package & used the 12.04 libavcodec-dev, libavformat-dev

Also -
I used checkinstall to install all, mainly because I dump my 12.04 installs weekly & I can, with care, re-use the .debs.
Also the gimp source compiled is large, almost 1/2 GB, so I can remove after moving the .deb out, or keep & clean
Will post the commands I used, there is some leeway there, I didn't use --defaults so commands are longer, wanted it to stop at the package config screen to review

( if using checkinstall & want to have the repo or 2.7.X installed then make sure the package name is not gimp, I used gimp2

You should review the results of the ./autogen.sh & or ./configure to make sure all that's wanted to be enabled is before running a make.

The are various ways to run & add the .desktop, ect. The binary is gimp-2.8

One could also look for snapshots of gegl & babl instead of a git clone - fine today, you never know down the road.., if so a ./configure ... usually will suffice instead of a ./autogen.sh ...

If desired you can build in /tmp like in link


mkdir gimp_build && cd gimp_build

export PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/bin:$PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib

git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl
cd babl
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8
make


sudo make install

or

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=babl --pkgversion=0.1.10 --backup=no --deldoc=yes \
--fstrans=no --backup=no --deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default
cd ..
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gegl
cd gegl
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8

# if dep packages are added after the above use this till correct
./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8
make


sudo make install

or

sudo checkinstall --pkgname=gegl --pkgversion=0.2 --backup=no --deldoc=yes \
--fstrans=no --backup=no --deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default

cd ..
cd gimp-2.8.0 # I unpacked the gimp-2.8 tar into the gimp_build
./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8
make


sudo make install

or

sudo checkinstall --backup=no --deldoc=yes --fstrans=no --backup=no --deldoc=yes \
--deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --pkgname=gimp2 --pkgversion=2.8.0-rc1 \
--provides gimp-2.8.0 --default



For a .desktop I used ~/... like

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/gimp2.desktop

I've tried for hours to compile this on my newly installed Ubuntu 12.04 with no luck can you just upload the .deb for Ubuntu x64?

[davidvandoren]

Here I get stuck and don't know how to go on.
With installing gimp 2.8 of course. ):P
cd ..
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gegl
cd gegl
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8

thanks to everyone I got it up and running.

some things I remember so far.

as a starter


sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstallthen

sudo apt-get install cvs subversion git-core mercurial
cd /tmpthen

mkdir gimp_build && cd gimp_buildexecute each line

export PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/bin:$PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib
git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl
cd babl
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install libtoolTill here then it was a lot of fixing dependencies and sorry I really forgot how it went on.

Good one .... type history in the terminal

it will show all the commands you used ......

But that is good - gives me confidence - am doing a safe-upgrade then going to try it
again .... mine is still failing ..... new error now .....

I did the history command but it will confuse you even more.

Just read after each attempt the error messages in the last 7 lines and try to find the packages that are missing.

I rmember I had to install one through the software center and the installed synaptic to speed things up a little bit.

You'll need python dev. Some Tiff dev etc.
Just show us how far you get and the last terminal outputs maybe I can trace it back then.

[23dornot23d]

I get this ......

Install synaptic from the software center.
Close your software center and open synaptic go to settings and repository and
check everything then Other software and check everything
close this tab and refresh your software list.

I installed valac-0.16 via synaptic

While you are at it, I removed intltool-debian and reinstalled intltool 0.50.2-2

keith@keith-K53SV:~/tmp/gimp/gimp-2.8.0-RC1/gegl$

After this error I think I did this


apt-cache search openexr ⇒ libopenexr-dev

apt-cache search rsvg ⇒ librsvg2-dev

sudo apt-get install libjpeg62-dev libopenexr-dev librsvg2-dev

[davidvandoren]

also open synaptic

and install autoconf 2.68-1ubuntu2

You'll need python2.7-dev also and python-dev 2.7.2-9 is installede on my system as well

Sorry I only remember bits and pieces


Then install with synaptic also

libtiff-tools 3.9.5-2ubuntu1
libtiff4
libtiffxx0c2
libtiff4-dev

[23dornot23d]

Ok cheers ..... the initltool thing got me by the problem

Awesome tutorial many thanks!!! =D>

One small thing, I can't drag-drop the icon to gnome-shell sidebar and once gimp is opened I can't right-click on it's icon and select "Add to Favorites" :(

31) Code:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel
32) Code:
gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new
you'll see a pop up to create a launcher on the desktop.
You can drag that one over the side-panel and you have to move it a little bit around till it takes same space to be dropped onto. Worked on my 12.04. Maybe you can try to pull from the application menu gimp as resent used to pull onto it.

Hello

@David : Have you tried the tip on 10.04 ?

Because I just can't get any clear information on wether I can or not install GIMP 2.8-rc1 on Ubuntu 10.04, for I would like to test it in order to write a news in French about GIMP 2.8 release, but I usually don't upgrade Ubuntu before a few weeks after a new LTS*release.
I askod on…
- ubuntu-fr
- a blog where I discovered Matt Walker's repo
- Emailed Matt Walker
- Posted on Diaspora

… but still no clear answer…

Thanks in advance.

[eulu]

Awesome! Thanks so much for this tutorial! It worked without a hitch.. I'd been looking and trying to upgrade from 2.6 since I ventured from windows into the linux/ubuntu world a couple months ago...

It's funny because while I was stuck back in 2.6, I discovered the fx foundry script package, which I had never had on my windows load. Now I will be trying to figure out how to get that into this 2.8 install.. I'm looking to figure out how to get pspi installed on ubuntu too..

Have a look at your "Software Sources" that have been enabled (universe, multiverse, sources, partners, independent etc in Ubuntu Software Centre -> Edit -> Software Sources). I would guess that you need to enable one or more of these.

I've had no problems getting GIMP 2.8 on Lucid and have put together a little (!) how-to here: How to use GIMP 2.8 on Lucid 10.04.4 LTS (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1982183)

./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8I keep dying at this step.

This is what I get

checking for headers required to compile python extensions... not found
configure: error:
*** Could not find Python headers.
*** Please install them, or skip building the python scripting extension by
*** passing --disable-python to configure (but then you will not be able
*** to use scripts for GIMP that are written in Python).

I had another error earlier with libtiff, IIRC I just got the developers version. But after that, I got the above error. I tried reloading Python 2.7 and even 3 dev, but to no avail. Any idea how I can proceed?

[Macr237]

Don't worry. I have sorted it out. It took a while and a number of packages had to be downloaded.

Anyway, thanks for the tutorial, now to see if I can get my plug-ins back.

Hi guys,

I am interested in getting Gimp 2.8 working on Ubuntu 10.04. I thought this thread might help.

A lot of the stuff here goes a bit (read, way) over my head. I am correct in thinking that a lot of these instructions are for Ubuntu 12.04? And are not worth attempting in 10.04?

cheers!
