Quick notes for compiling GIMP 2.5.0 on Ubuntu 7.10
2008-04-11 18:17:47
GIMP 2.5.0 has been released and you are curious what's new? You can compile it yourself and try it out.
But please note: GIMP 2.5.0 is a development version, that means it should only be used for testing and not for production use. Don't make useless bug reports to the developers.
Basic procedure:
1) Install the necessary packages to compile programs. Make sure gcc, g++, and the development versions of some basic libraries are installed. If one of the "configure" processes below fails because it needs a certain library, install it. For instance, if configure tells you "Can't find xxx", install "libxxx-dev".
2) Download these tarballs from the respective file servers (take the most recent version): BABL, GLib, GEGL, Gtk+, GIMP
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/glib/2.16/
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/2.12/
3) Extract BABL, "./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5", "make", "sudo make install"
4) Extract GLib, "./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5", "make", "sudo make install"
5) Make binaries, includes, libraries in /opt/gimp-2.5 available for use:
export PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib/pkgconfig
6) Extract GEGL, "./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5", "make", "sudo make install"
7) Extract Gtk+, "./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5", "make", "sudo make install"
8) Extract GIMP, "configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5", "make", "sudo make install"
9) Enjoy with "/opt/gimp-2.5/bin/gimp-2.5"

I used the outlined method and I was able to install the unstable version successfully with no problems.
