Either you were not specific enough, or this is where your problem is. PKG_CONFIG_PATH should point to $PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig, not babl-0.0.22

Hi,

please read the pkg-config(1) manual page to make yourself familiar how this stuff works.

hi all,

i have downloaded gegel and babl fron the following link ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gegl/0.0/gegl-0.0.22.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/babl/0.0/babl-0.0.22.tar.bz2

But when i reach inside the unzip folder of gegl-0.0.22 through the command

prompt and give the command ./configure ( the first step given for compiling on http://gegl.org/ ) in unzip folder of gegl-0.0.22

it gives the error

"
babl package is not found
so make changes in the pkg-config or alternative is the set babl-cflags and

babl-libs so that there is no need to call pkg-config

"
so gegl.pc is not formed.

But when i give the same command in the unzip folder of babl-0.0.22 then it

gives no error and inside it babl.pc is formed.

please tell me what should i do??????I have tried a lot but could not find

the solution.What i tried is i add the path in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH, where i place babl-0.0.22.But of no use, it it giving same error.

thanx,

you first need to compile babl, set environment variables and then build gegl and gimp.

there is a short step by step instruction for how to do this with gimp 2.6 - but you can easily adept it to compile 2.7 as well.

hope that helps
