Gimp 2.8.4 for Precise or Slacko or Raring |
|
This version of Gimp will run only on Precise puppy linux,
PreciseNOP or Slacko or Raring.
It won't work on distributions like Wheezy or Wary.
I recompiled to make the foreign locales work. You must install the
NLS package of course to show a foreign language menu!!
I don't know the benefits of this version, but
it's stable and will export to many image formats.
You can choose either an SFS or a PET file to install.
Don't install both!
edit: pet version - fixed
gimp-precise-2.8.4.sfs (11.2 MB)
gimp-precise-2.8.4.pet (11.4 MB)
gimp_NLS-2.8.4.pet (only needed for foreign languages)
.

new compile of gimp |
|
I recompiled and built the packages again.
I was able to get the menus to show foreign
language text if NLS package installed.
Note: I compiled with python disabled
since it's not installed in standard installations.
Apparently some effects need python, but
I haven't noticed any problems.
I stripped the apps but they're still quite big.

oops. I didn't test the pinstall.sh script in pet
I would have realized it was wrong.

I fixed the pet package by getting rid of pinstall.sh script
I noticed that earlier gimp2.8.2 package in Barry's precise repository can run
in Pemasu's Wheezy distribution but wheezy can't use this
gimp 2.8.4 package.

okay I tried the sfs file on precise puppy 5.4.3
this is what iI get:
Quote: | libgegl-0.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory |
is libgegl not included?
libabl also and other stuff.
Can you tell me wher did you get the right one libraries. Last time I installed it my system broke down? Is it runing okay in your precise nop 5.4.3?

I got libbabl and libgegl from launchpad.com site as debian packages for
precise. I didn't bother to compile. It didn't seem to matter.
I loaded sfs into RAM using sfs_load by shinobar.
I should test using the regular method of loading.

I finally discovered what was causing problem with sfs file.
launchpad.net stores libgegl and libbabl libraries in
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
Fixed and tested on raring distro.

I compiled Gimp in Wheezy by Pemasu
(python disabled)
and I discovered to my surprise that the app
will also run in Precise, Raring, or Slacko as well!!
The size of package is bigger!! 18M rather than 11M
I tested on four distros and they worked very well.
gimp-precise-2.8.4.pet
gimp_NLS-2.8.4.pet (only needed for foreign languages)
EDIT: removed SFS since it didn't work in Wheezy
