Hi Adhit,

Sorry, I didn't have time to give a look at your files. Anyway, it has passed a long time since that e-mail and something probably changed meanwhile. I haven't build gimp for windows in a long time.

The good news is that there are nightly builds for windows at: http://nightly.darkrefraction.com/gimp/.

It uses drawoc's build system: https://github.com/drawoc/windows-gimp-jhbuild, you should give a look at it.

If you have any problem running these, tell us.

Victor

Hello Victor,

I'm writing in based on your reply to the question on Windows Development mentioned here -
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list/2012-May/msg00067.html. I've worked with GIMP and am now interested to contribute to it's development by means of developing a few plugins. I tried setting up GIMP on my Windows platform but the same was cumbersome and have now shifted to developing Gimp in Linux for Windows. I'm new to Linux development and as such have been stuck at a very minor issue while trying to run your script grab-stuff.sh. The errors i'm facing are as follows,

I'm quite positive i've got the prefix changes wrong though i'm unable to put a finger on what error it is. I've enclosed my files and also your original files (prefixed as OR) It would be great help if you could help me with this issue. The directory in which i've set up my files is $HOME/w64/

Regards, Adi.
