- 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.
