Same time ago I've compiled git version of gimp under win32 there is it http://depositfiles.com/files/sh7bvsfeh

it's not installer but just an archive, so just unpack it to the root of drive C:
it's not very fresh but there is single window mode and some other new features

may be I'll try to make new one with normal installer, new version gegl and babl, and with fixed bug

Did you cross compile this, or compile it under windows?

If under windows, can you provide any guidance on compiling from git under windows? I have tried under MSYS but not had luck, mainly due to the many dependencies, not being able to locate compiled binaries.

Thanks in advance if you can help,

thank for sharing your build

As Rob i will really appreciate some guidance on compiling from git

I already compiled (thank to a detailed guide on the gimp wiki) the stable but i failed to adapt the steps to compile from git

Hello,

I compiled GIMP from git this week, on windows using msys and mingw (and without cygwin).
You can find my build here:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/hjwqw1kym4g/gimp-win-08-04-2010.7z Read the README_FIRST!!!.txt file before using this build (seriously, read it!).

This is .7z archive (you'll need 7-zip to extract it). It contains a lot of junk (since it contains all the traces of my failed attempts to compile GIMP) which you probably don't need in order to run GIMP, and there is a lot of mess in the lib directory so I'm not sure you can actually link against anything in there. It contains some general instruction to compile GIMP on windows inside the HACKING.txt file. As it says in the file, I'll provide a complete guide for compiling gimp on windows later on this month (hopefully it will be finished this month) on
http://lightningismyname.blogspot.com/p/gimp-stuff.html

Again, this is a messy build and it's not intended for every day usage since it was compiled without many of the "extra" dependencies (for example, it was compiled without jpeg support). It does have export to PNG and obviously for XCF, but many of the other formats are missing.

My next build will be much more organized and will contain much less mess.

Hope this helps =) LightningIsMyName

This hasn't been implemented yet; it is not a windows-specific issue.

Nothing personal, just a friendly reminder to people who distribute personal builds like this: Please note that even if you do it just temporarily on a small scale, you still need to follow the licenses, i.e.offer the sources for all GPL or LGPL code you distribute. You don't want to give anybody the opportunity to start flaming you about breaking the license.

Hello Tor,

I forgot to include the actual sources with my build (they were way to big and I forgot I had to do this), so I removed my build. Thanks for reminding me =)
However, I will post the instructions on compiling GIMP on windows soon at the link above.

Did you modify the GIMP source?
If not, you don't need to include the source itself; you just need to provide a up-to-date link to somewhere the source can be obtained. The GPL is specific on this point.

I can confirm that the build runs fine under windows xp sp2! only had to rename that libz => zlib1.dll. libexif fails on start-up but it continues to launch gimp anyway - so it is no problem.

nice work!!

what do you think of announcing this build to the gimp community? yes/no?

Err, no.

Exactly. The GPL (v2 anyway, not sure about v3) requires that you provide either the sources, or a written assurance that you will provide the sources to anybody who obtained the binary, which must be valid for 3 years. IIRC, this was further clarified in the FSF's FAQ that just linking to some site that happens to have the source right now is not adequate, unless you've made arrangements with that site.

No, I do not think thats a good idea. Git builds are for developers and people who are capable of doing at least a patch cycle for a bug they report to the developer. There might be an official unstable soon, but even then, its unstable. Literally. There is(or was last week) at least one sure way to crash gimp in it, and several unknowns. The code is at this moment as unstable as it gets. I personally do not want bug reports against unfinished things.

Hy Oleg seems impossible to download the files you upload to Deposit Files I just gey a message in Russian that, if my automatic translation was correct say "all the slot for your contry are busy try later",but try later don't help it seems that site having serious bandwitch issues Maybe you may found anothert host ?

my file was set to private since it has modifications in the source code which I'm not sure I can reproduce (I don't remember them exactly, and my code was delted because the shared server I use at university cleaned the temporary space which I have used).

My guide for compiling GIMP is almost ready (it will be available this weekend! :D) and then you'll be able to build GIMP yourself.

Please, by all means, do never ever distribute a binary based on a modified copy of the source code. If you absolutely need to do so, then please make a very prominent notice about this. It sucks a lot if we get bug reports and later find out that there were changes to the source code that we didn't know about.

Thanks, Sven

Hello Sven,

The modification was to one of the ./configure scripts (I changed the path to the perl location in order for the script to find my perl that was installed in some irregular directory - perl was needed for intltool). I haven't changed the source code of any of the programs themselves.

Sorry again for the mess...

Why are you installing windows version of gimp on Linux? Sounds slightly stupid, considering its quite simple to build gimp on most versions of Linux.

Maybe it could be implemented the way Dia does (at least on Windows): if the executable is launched directly, Dia starts like GIMP today, i.e. independent toolbar and diagram windows; if the executable is launched with the --integrated option, then Dia starts in single window mode.

By default the Windows installer creates a start menu / desktop shortcut with the --integrated option included, so I suspect the average Windows user does not even know it could be otherwise (not bad in my opinion, because the GTK+ Windows port does not behaves exactly the same as in Linux native and so the desire for single window mode).

You are misunderstanding the problem. Gimp can and does remember if your last session was in swm. It however lacks the code currently to properly load in that mode. Namely remembering what was docked where and restoring that state does not work yet. It's a work in process not a complete feature.

Exactly the same behavior - the problem is obviously related to Font - and possibly a missing dll see the output message :

"Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": `libcanberra-gtk-module.dll': Module not found

This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here.

Why are you installing windows version of gimp on Linux? Sounds slightly stupid, considering its quite simple to build gimp on most versions of Linux.

Sure, it looks stupid ; but the idea is to keep the stable version untouched and still having a pick at the new version launched from Wine - couldn't hurt ... and it launches fine, the only problem is :

Pango-WARNING **: couldn't load font "MS Shell Dlg Not-Rotated 8", falling back to "Sans Not-Rotated 8", expect ugly output.

and ugly output there is indeed

cheers
