AFAIK this is for a version of GIMP that doesn't require GTK+. At least, that's what I've been told when asking the same question.

HTH, Michael

--enable-gimp-console builds a gimp-console application which doesn't link with gtk+ at all. In theory, you can run a GIMP without any display (this is impossible in batch mode). It was never fully finished and so it doesn't work, and is for crazy hackers only. Thus the warning :)

Cheers, Dave.

Right. But there's hope that we get this done for GIMP-2.2. At the moment it just simply doesn't link at all.

it is my opinion that leaving the word "crazy" there for too long, it becomes the norm and everyone gets, you know, bored.

perhaps we should unicode a different character which would be an apostrophe on top of a period. would adding a different unicode character be an easier way to make this crazy message look new and exciting without working the gimp developers too much?

maybe put something like sigrot onto the make file?

maybe we could change the text to read:

and then someone who knows what is going on could fill in those details.

Instead of listing the changes, they should be done.

something should be done about it. change the spew or fix the linkage. i am thinking that there was a mistake made here where i live.

i said nothong, not nothing. did i send this message down the wrong pipeline?

I don't think there is anything we need to change here. You are using a nonstandard configure option that is strictly discouraged. We know that it doesn't work and we told you. We even plan to fix it eventually.

you told so in email and on the irc. the very fact that i am occasionally reading the configure options alone is enough to assertain that it is not just developers reading this stuff.

i would like that the message resemble the facts. you type strictly discouraged in email but the configure spew sends a different message. one that looks like a lame message for as long as it has been there.

perhaps just pasting some of the email discouragements where it should be, in the configure --help spew.

you know, for the honest groupies and hobbyists like me.
