Hi list,
there is a problem with building GIMP on OS X since version 2.3.6
(2.3.5 still worked well). At the first look it seemed to be related
to libtool, so I had a conversation with them. Peter gave me then
some information that might help some enlighted gimp dev to wipe the
problem out:

The problem is here:
I think they want to check for gnu binutils to use -rpath
$ORIGIN/../lib,
but I'm not sure. Right now they try to do this for OS != windows.
Ick!
To make an app relocatable on Mac OS X, you have to do more work
than this.
You need to link your libraries with an install_name (soname) of
@executable_path/../lib/libfoo.dylib, by far the easiest thing to
do to make
apps relocatable is to build as normal with -Wl,-
headerpad_max_install_names
~ in LDFLAGS, then you can fix things to have the @executable_path/
bit after
build using install_name_tool(1).
Not libtool's fault, sorry, now you've got to go back to the gimp
developers.
Peter
btw. there is a complete build log at http://wernicke-online.net/temp/
gimp2.3.7_build.log
hope that helps!
I'd really like to see GIMP running on OS X in the dev version.
