Package: gimp Version: 1.1.18 I have generated succesfully with egcs 1.1.2 on the following platforms: i686-pc-linux-gnu (Redhat 5.1) i686-pc-linux-gnu (Redhat 6.0) i686-pc-linux-gnu (Redhat 6.1) sparc-sun-solaris2.6 alpha-dec-osf4.0d hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 mips-sgi-irix6.5 powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 BUT: - on all platforms, except Linux the generation stops at: : :gmake[4]: Entering directory `/scratch/happi/GNU.DESK/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl/po' : :mkdir ../blib/arch/auto/i18n : :mkdir translation : :mkdir tables : :mkdir ../blib/lib/auto/i18n : :./update.sh :*:./update.sh: ./pxgettext: not found :*:gmake[4]: *** [update-pot] Error 1 : :gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/scratch/happi/GNU.DESK/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl/po' :*:gmake[3]: *** [subdirs] Error 2 : :gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/scratch/happi/GNU.DESK/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins/perl' :*:gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 : :gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/scratch/happi/GNU.DESK/gimp-1.1.18/plug-ins' :*:gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 : :gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/scratch/happi/GNU.DESK/gimp-1.1.18' :*:gmake: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Solution: Change the first line of pxgettext from #!/usr/bin/perl to #!/usr/local/bin/perl. This should be done by configure or change the Makefile to do "perl ./pxgettext" instead. - on all platforms, except Linux the generation stops at some point as -lintl is not put in the link command appropriately (probably a configure problem). Solution: do make LIBS=-lintl - on alpha-dec-osf4.0d, the program give all errors when loading plugins even though plugin does not crash:: $ /usr/local/bin/gimp ** WARNING **: wire_read: error ** WARNING **: wire_read: error ** WARNING **: wire_read: error ** WARNING **: wire_read: error .... $ /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/align_layers /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/align_layers is a gimp plug-in and must be run by the gimp to be used What did I do wrong. - on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20, the program starts but never displays much... Amicalement. Philippe.
