Building and Compiling gimp under Windows

Hi gimp masters,

I'm new in hacking the gimp. I spend a couple of days to get detail information about modifying gimp program and customizing it as windows application for my project, since it is a great and useful open source image manipulation ever.
I googleing and wiki.gimp to begin this job, but I don't see any proper detail guidance and enough resources for hacking. Purpose is hacking by my experiences and tools in hand:
My OS is: Windows 10 x64
expert in: Visual studio, dot net, C#, WPF and so on (obviously I can't hacking gimp under VS).
familiar with: C, C++, Java
don't know about gegl, gtk+, babl and so on. First problem correct load and successful build gimp-master source from git in local under eclipse-cpp-kepler-SR2-win32-x86_64 or NetBeans.IDE.8.1, while I use cygwin 2.874 for them.
Second, after build and compile how to get port it for Windows and create a install file, do I use the IDEs still for this? how to modifying and customizing gimp environment it's UI or create the other tools for my gimp?

I appreciate for any detail and step by step help to do this purpose. Thanks in advanced.

It's hard to say what you consider proper :)

I'm guessing you've been at http://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Building/Windows and read both http://lightningismyname.blogspot.ru/p/compiling-gimp.html and http://partha.com/articles/buildinggimp.html ?

Hi Hashem,

You always can edit the code in Eclipse or NetBeans or another IDE but compile it
according the instructions on wiki.gimp.org

.

I would recommend you using Linux to hack gimp. It just not practical to do all of this building
process again and again. You can for example edit the code on windows and debug it on
Linux. When you done, compile it for Windows. By the way, both Eclipse and NetBeans are
working fine on Linux.

For the other questions about customizing gimp,all of these things are pure code,
mostly C. Gimp's code it mostly very readable (for an 20 years old project, at least),
you should be able to understand it after some time.

Have a nice day, Shmuel.

Unfortunately, we have no dedicated Windows developer so it's hard to give you step-by-step about anything you ask and confidently tell you "it will work". But what that means is that we are more than welcoming you if you wish to contribute to GIMP! Windows developers are really needed since most of us are daily Linux users. The result of this is that GIMP has much more issues (stability, bugs, UI weirdness…) under Windows than under Linux. Patches and bug fixes are very welcome! :-)

Alexandre gave you some links which are where you should start, though once again, the sections to build under Windows may be outdated. But that's a good start point. If you follow these steps and find that some points are not right, do not hesitate to tell us so that we can edit the wiki (or probably better, we could give you a wiki account). Actually reading your email, it sounds like you may already have built GIMP successfully. So you may already have some remarks about what we have on the wiki?

Also I'm not sure I understand all your questions about customizing GIMP environment or "other tools" for GIMP. But once again, if it is about Windows development, not sure I could answer, even if I understood the questions.
Anyway feel free to ask more detailed questions, though you likely know more than us about anything which is Windows-specific (and that's good, we would welcome your knowledge there!).

Jehan

Thanks in advanced.
