Installing gegl for gimp-2.7

Hi,

I am trying to install gimp-2.7 after cloning the git repository. For
that, I must install gegl and babl 0.1.2.

I can't reach http://gegl .org that seems broken. So, I cloned the gegl
git repository:
./autogen.sh: no problem
make : I get this error (translated)

make[3]: quitting « /home/xxx/gegl/docs/gallery » directory
make[3]: going into « /home/xxx/gegl/docs » directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make « gegl.devhelp » target, necessary for «
all-am ». Stop.

How can I resolve this error?

Platform?

Follow these instructions. Suits most distros, though you may have the
up to date gtk++

Try to pass --disable-docs to 'autogen.sh' and run make again.

Finally, I installed babl and gegl-0.1.2 from their bz2 tarball found at
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gimp/, with success.
The link in the INSTALL file of the gimp directory is obsolete and
misleading.

Thank you for your interest in my question.

It isn't obsolete or misleading. The gegl.org web-site is just
temporarily down.

Did you manage to get it to execute?

I ran into the same problem, downloaded the bz2 file of 0.1 gegl (feb 2010),
and it seemed to resolve the compilation issue as well.

However, gimp fails to execute, citing the same problem with avcodec.

I'm suspicious this has to do with being on Ubuntu 9.10 64bit. I think those
extra bits are giving the libs a hard time again.

Why would that keep GIMP from running? It's just one of the many GEGL
operations that doesn't link. That should not be a show-stopper. In any
case you can safely remove the ff-load.so file without loosing any
functionality in GIMP.
