This is an unstable version of the GIMP, intended for developers
|
|
only. Even more so the Win32 port.
|
|
|
|
For more information about the port or GLib, GTk+ and the GIMP to
|
|
native Windows, and pre-built binary packages, see
|
|
http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ or
|
|
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/
|
|
|
|
To build the GIMP on Win32, you will need (for now) the Microsoft
|
|
compiler. Eventually gcc (egcs) on cygwin will also be supported, but
|
|
without the produced executables depending on the cygwin dll (gcc
|
|
-mno-cygwin).
|
|
|
|
The GIMP wants to be built with the GNU gettext library for
|
|
internationalisation (i18n). Get the version ported to Win32 (not a
|
|
very big deal) from tml's web site mentioned above. If you don't want
|
|
any i18n stuff, undefine ENABLE_NLS in the config.h.win32 file, and
|
|
remove references to the gnu-intl library from the makefiles.
|
|
|
|
First, build in the libgimp directory, then in tools/gcg, then in app,
|
|
plug-ins, and finally in modules. Check the makefile.msc files in said
|
|
directories.
|
|
|
|
The current build setup for Windows is a mess, with complex
|
|
hand-maintained makefiles. I know. Adding parallel makefiles for gcc
|
|
isn't going to make it any better. On the other hand, I don't think
|
|
using the Unix style configuration mechanism (under cygwin) is quite
|
|
feasible, either.
