2.9 and Linux Mint

Hello

I've just installed brand new Mint 17.2 Mate rc. It has GdkPixbuf version 2.30.7 and GIMP requires 2.30.8. Does it mean current development version of GIMP will not be available in Linux Mint?

With respect, Alexander Rabtchevich

I'm not sure what you are asking for. Since this is a development version, it requires slightly late version of some libraries, and thus sometimes not available on some distributions. It does not mean you can't compile the dev version of GIMP, only that you may have to compile some of the dependencies.
I am myself a GIMP dev, and I currently use Linux Mint (Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit). So there are no problems: you can build GIMP there.

Or when you ask "available", do you mean like officially available? GIMP 2.9 is a development version. Everyone is welcome to build it but it is not deemed "stable", so it means you build at your own risk, Also distributions are allowed to make packages for their users (it's Free Software!), but it has been decided during the last GIMP meeting that we won't ask for such packages officially. If distributions do packages, they are responsible for these.

I hope I answered your question. Regards,

Jehan

If you don't have the right version of GdkPixbuf a pre-compiled GIMP development version may not run. You could create a symlink to try and make it think you have the right version of the library. That may, or may not, work. If you want to build GIMP using the latest source code you will need to (build, compile, and) install a more recent version of the needed library.

Cheers!

Kevin.

Linux Mint 17.2 is going to be released in a week or two. Its Mate edition will not meet current GIMP requirements, at least the RC does not. Does Cinnamon edition contain enough version of GdkPixbuf from the box?

I've tried to build Gimp 2.9.1 commit c72bc50e5d1f50eb0ee0a13dbc5d6d9a60dc6e78 on Ubuntu 14.04. Is GdkPixbuf >= 2.30.8 really essential? I'm heading for disaster. So much packages depends on GdkPixbuf

This was probably bumped for gdk_pixbuf_new_from_resource(). You should be able to lower it to 2.30.7 and use it. Note that you'll have to make this change in configure.ac and app/sanity.c.

Here is my patch:

http://pastebin.com/2pn0wW1c

It works!

I use it in conjuction with gimp-2.9.1 builds at https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp-edge

Cheers
