This was compiled in Puppy 4.1 and may not work in other puppies. Downloads available from ftp://puppy:puppylinux@ftp.servage.net/jcoder24/. This link will be updated when the files are mirrored (or moved to the correct location).

Requires gegl, babl, glib, libopenraw, libwmf (all available from the above link) and sdl-1.2.9.pet

~~~~~~

gimp was configured with --without-dbus --disable-python --enable-gimp-remote and installs to /usr/local/

All other packages were compiled with --prefix=/usr.
gegl was configured with libopenraw and sdl support.

When downloading only download the:
* _DEV packages if you want to recompile gimp or need them to compile another program.
* _DOC packages if you want the documentation
* _NLS packages for international language support

NB Gimp 2.6.1 regures gtk-2.12.5, however, puppy4 has 2.12.1. To get around this I modified the configure script to accept 2.12.1 as the minimum gtk version. Hopefully this wouldn't make much difference. If it does then gtk will have to be upgraded. Tests so far hasn't generated any errors.

Please test and report successes/failures

Was trying to compile this a few days ago. I'll finish uploading some stuff to my ftp and then will test it (just in case something goes wrong)

works fine in Muppy 0084c, will add it to 0084d.
Many thanks!

Dear Jcode24:

This new version has the same bugs that I found in the vers. mentionet?

1.- When I try to print a file into a shared windows net, the only way to do this is going to File>Print>PrintPreview>Print? The obvious method (File>print>print) don't work.

2.- It's solved the problem to try to paste a image into gimp? When I try to 'cut and paste' an image from a web with the commands File>Adquire->Paste as new this don't work (It works in Kubuntu, but in Puppy 4.1 not).

Thanks for your work!

Updated to 2.6.2.

Included gimp-remote and added links pointing /usr/local/lib/libgimp* to /usr/lib/libgimp*. Some of these links were needed for the ufraw-gimp plugin, which is part of the ufraw package.

updated to 2.6.3

I added the dependencies in one package (+ufraw & lcms):

http://www.openplatformeducation.org/gimp-2.6.3-i486.pet

Still get minor Gimp error message:
Opening '/root/%U' failed: No such file or directory

other than that no problems

[technosaurus]

p.s thanks for choosing option 3 when you did new2dir make install - it helps make the packages so much smaller (it didn't look like the sdl package was done this way but I didn't have time to fix it)

[MU]

you might edit the gimp.desktop file in /usr/share/applications.
Look for a line like "Exec=gimp %F"
or similar.
Remove the parameter (like "%F").

I think JWM can't handle such parameters, and so you get the error message.

@MU
That worked - I guess I will leave it there since it doesn't cause any problems & many puplets don't use jwm

p.s. the .desktop file was in /usr/local/share/applications vs. /usr/share/applications

(I am guessing this means that Gimp was not compiled with --prefix=/usr and defaulted to /usr/local ??)

[stowpirate]

Cannot find desktop file in /usr/share/applications using puppy 4.1.1 any idea on its location?

[technosaurus]

See my previous post for the .desktop file location - Also I will be tracking GIMP for the install menu of the Puppy Web Desktop (my "out of the box" distributed repository that I have code named "The Pound")

Is there a Gimp 2.6 with the python fu's and script fu's?
