Hi,

I am trying to compile the version of hollywood gimp obtained from CVS, there are many problems compiling. I have managed to resolve a lot of them, but it's taking too long.

Does anyone know of a stable version?
Also one of the versions I found elsewhere was using a very old version of GTK, suprisingly it seems that newer versions of GTK are not backward compatible with the very early versions.
Has anyone successfully managed to compile hollywood gimp?
Cheers,
Hai.

Not sure if anyone answered this for you or not. I built recently on RH 7.2
using libtool 1.4 (ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4).

The steps are pretty straight forward. First, comment out the following plug-ins:

rll, fm_pts, parsley, pts

These guys all seem to be specific to either SGI, Silicon Grail and/or Rhythm and
Hues environments.

Then you should be able to do the following:

clocal automake -a
autoconf
./configure --prefix=
ltconfig ltmain.sh

The ltconfig step has to be done after configure or else ltmain.sh will be broke. This appears to be the biggest trick to getting the package to compile.

After all this, you should be able to run make from the top level directory. I don't know what the diffs would be for doing this under FreeBSD, however.
