Hi Mukund,

Thanks for making it so that gimp build requires one less application
to package! It is working flawlessly in Windows 32-bit. :)

I am having trouble on 64-bit. There is not output and the only error
message I have to give you is:

____________Error Message____________
Opening 'C:\Users\partha\Pictures\Images\PostScript Examples\tiger.eps' failed:

Could not interpret Postscript file
'C:\Users\partha\Pictures\Images\PostScript Examples\tiger.eps'
____________End Error________________

Any suggestions would be most helpful

Thanks!
Partha

I don't know what this issue might be as it is on Windows and I don't
have a Windows environment handy. Maybe you can talk to ender about
it. Even he will have to bundle Ghostscript in his Windows installer.

Kind regards,

Mukund

Interesting, a 2.6.12 user just reported this:

"Hi! I've found really bad error in 2.6.12 - I can't import pdf files
properly. Only vector elements (e.g. texts) can be opened, raster
images are missing or left as black rectangles. 2.6.11 works fine.
(Win7 64bit)"

The change Partha mentions is only in the master branch.

Is there anything that us non-programmers can do to speed the process? (Try
to do a splash screen contest etc.)

Also wondering :) I'm an artist who does all work in GIMP, no programming experience though. Is there any way for us designers to help contribute to the development without coding [icons, UI, etc]? Or are donations the best way to help?

Anyway, I made some more progress on this. libgs-8.dll (Ghostscript
8.47) that I am using is built with libtiff 4.0.1. This was the main
culprit. When I use tiff 4.0.1, Gimp will no longer open tiff files
complaining that it was unable to read the header. This is true (for
me) on both Windows 32 and 64 bit. So, I rebuilt tiff 3.9.4, which
created libtiff-3.dll and Gimp can open tiff files now. However, it
breaks Ghostscript and so I reverted your changes and went back to
loading an external program to load PS files.

I wonder why tiff 4.0.1 is failing on my builds. Has anyone tested
tiff 4.0.1 on a Linux machine to confirm this?

Thanks for all your help Mukund. It really helped me with this problem.

I haven't tried building with ghostscript yet.

This seems to be a Windows-specific problem. I've got GIMP 2.6.12
built against libtiff-5.dll (ver. 4.0.0), and it doesn't load any tiff
files, while GIMP 2.6.12 on Linux built against libtiff.so.5.0.5
(version 4.0.0-r1, gentoo) works fine.

Thanks for the confirmation, Ender. Looks like I will stay with 3.9.4
then which is working fine on Windows (64 or 32). Gimp will not load a
tiff file with 4.0.1 on Windows.
