Compiling GIMP-2.9 with the new mypaint requirements
When configuring GIMP-2.9, it doesn't find the mypaint brushes.
Following this page: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/INSTALL.in
1. I cloned this: git clone https://github.com/Jehan/mypaint-brushes.git
2. I switched to this branch:
git branch --list
master
* v1.3.x
3. I ran these commands:
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make && make install
4. I checked to see if the mypaint brushes were installed, and they were. Here are the installed files:
/home/elle/code-install/gimpdefault/install/share/mypaint-data/1.0/brushes/. . . (with a bunch of brushes in the brushes folder)
/home/elle/code-install/gimpdefault/install/share/pkgconfig/mypaint-brushes-1.0.pc
5. When attempting to configure GIMP, here is the error message:
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --with-gimpdir=$PREFIX/config --disable-gtk-doc --enable-debug=yes
Error: GIMP configuration failed.
- Error: missing dependency mypaint-brushes-1.0
6. So I tried also install the mypaint brushes in /usr/local, but GIMP still can't find the brushes.
7. In case it's relevant. I have libmypaint-1.3.0 installed from Gentoo
portage:
equery list '*mypaint*'
* Searching for *mypaint* ...
[IP-] [ ] media-libs/libmypaint-1.3.0:0/0
Did I miss some magic step along the way? If not, how do I tell GIMP where the mypaint brushes are?
Best, Elle

Installing the brushes in "/usr" allowed GIMP to find the brushes. But it seems like GIMP should have found the brushes when they were installed in the prefix.

You probably have to add
/home/elle/code-install/gimpdefault/install/share/pkgconfig/
to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH. libmypaint installs to lib/pkgconfig and the brushes are in share/pkgconfig. Both are valid locations, but this adds one new path you have to deal with when installing dependencies for GIMP separately.
Best,

You probably have to add
/home/elle/code-install/gimpdefault/install/share/pkgconfig/
Indeed!
I'm not sure why everyone was only adding a lib/pkgconfig/ but
share/pkgconfig/ is also to be added in any custom prefix in
PKG_CONFIG_PATH!
Why it worked inside /usr is because this is already in the defaults
path of pkg-config for the /usr/ or /usr/local/ prefixes but you have
to take care of it for any custom prefix.
Also why can it be in share/ or in lib/? The logic is quite simple: if this is a library, the pc file goes in lib/pkgconfig/, if this is a data package, it goes in share/pkgconfig/. Have fun!
Jehan

Ah, thanks! I bet that's the problem. I have to do the same thing when installing PhotoFlow to let PhotoFlow knows where to look for libvips.

Um, I built with --prefix=/usr and GIMP still fails to find it.

OK, so I'm being Mr. Silly, switched to the 1.3 branch, it worked.

I hit a bunch of snags trying to follow this, getting the right branch and not knowing that libmypaint's autogen doesn't run configure automatically.. Here's what worked for me on Debian:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PREFIX/share/pkgconfig/
git clone https://github.com/Jehan/mypaint-brushes.git
cd mypaint-brushes
git checkout --track -b v1.3.x origin/v1.3.x
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX
(probably didn't need the --prefix for that)
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make
make install
then proceed with the usual GIMP build.
Except that I also discovered that GIMP's configure is giving a warning now about Debian's default gcc, 7.2.0. I had gcc-6 installed already, but configure doesn't find it automatically. Here's the solution to that:
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-6
and make clean in gegl and babl if they've previously been built with the default compiler.

Switching to the 1.3 branch, and the previous tip about adding share/pkconfig to the paths used by pkgconfig allowed GIMP to find the mypaint-brushes files that I installed for use by GIMP.
The configure checks in GIMP don't like the 2.x version you get if you just checkout and install the files from git master.

Yep that's on purpose. MyPaint/libmypaint development evolved their brush format with incompatible changes. There are new parameters (some of which can currently crash GIMP, which is still to be fixed on libmypaint side) and some parameters are the same but actually behave differently.
The library has been versionned already (current libmypaint master is version 2 though there has been no release yet) and we needed to also have brushes versionned as well for the above reasons. We also needed brushes as a separate package (otherwise MyPaint is a dependency of GIMP!) and finally we needed to make sure of the installation path (otherwise we have to "guess" and in many cases, the MyPaint tool was just useless with no brushes available).
For all these reasons, I took the MyPaint current brushes. And I made a branch to freeze the brushes before all the changes happened. But the master branch still needs to follow MyPaint master development. :-)

Yeah autogen.sh does not have to run configure and MyPaint people removed this behavior from the autotools setup I initially did. Since I expect this repository to be taken care of later on by the MyPaint team, I did the autogen.sh the way they like it, i.e. not running configure. :-)
Jehan
P.S.: also I don't really like that the autogen.sh run configure myself. It can sometimes be a bother when you want to do VPATH builds but the autogen script often wants to be run from within the source root. Anyway…
