how to build gimp with aalib?

Hey guys, I think this is an easy question but I can't seem to figure it out. I've googled, read the docs, etc. but I can't figure out how to build Gimp with aalib. I'd like to save my file as an ascii art type file. AA isn't an option in the save menu. I downloaded, compiled and installed aalib (the most recent ver.) and I configured gimp as: configure --with-aa but no adeu. My distro is Slackware 9.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Much thanks in advance, CB

It should be sufficient to have aalib installed with headers in a place where the compiler and linker is able to find it. GIMP's configure script should then detect that aalib is available and enable the build of the plug-in.

You may have to adjust CPPFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS to make the compiler find the aalib headers and to make the linker find the library. The configure output should tell you more exactly where the problem is located. And then there's config.log which has even more details.
