I keep getting this error when compiling the dev version of Gimp...

Any idea on why it would be doing this?

yes, Nathan forgot to add gimp-mkproxy to EXTRA_DIST and its missing from the tarball for that reason. As I've already explained in

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83455

you shouldn't need gimp-mkproxy since the files it generates are distributed. I wonder why the Makefile is trying to regenerate them especially since I created the tarball using make distcheck which checks that all needed files are there. As a workaround, try to touch the .c and .h files in libgimpproxy and rerun make.

Salut, Sven
