Hi everyone,

I have been trying to build gimp from git but I cannot because old pkg-config, babl, gegl, gtk+ and other packages. So I tried to compile all these packages from source. So, my question is: what do developers do? do you build all gimp dependecies from source? do you use debian unstable or something like that to get latest packeges?

I would like to learn by making changes in gimp and in the future to help.

Regards. Romn!

if you just want to test some of the new features - use this script : http://www.davidrevoy.com/article94/gimp-razor-script-for-cutting-edge-gimp

this will download and build all required libraries (gegl /babl) - also will buiild GIMP for you [ 2.9.x ]

If you wanna build GIMP yourself to be comfortable with ..you can still take a look to that script

You don't need a cutting edge pkg-config, nor gtk+. What you have in your debian is likely enough (or else, debian is very late on its versions). You will likely only need the master babl and gegl. That still makes 3 packages to build from source (babl, GEGL and GIMP), but they are very easy to compile. That's basically the usual deal:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

We welcome any new help. :-)
