Ok, the reason I asked was because it did not appear to need any customization for the individual plug-in. But looking closer, I suppose this is because it relies on the macro PLUGIN_NAME being defined, which is set in the individual plug-in distribution... btw- the plugin-intl.h in the template calls itself "freetype-intl.h" in the comments at the top ;) > > How are individual user installations supposed to work?

Well, the usual way for people to install plug-ins they downloaded has been "gimptool --install" (or "gimptool --install-bin" called by the Makefile), which installs to the gimp directory in $HOME. So I think that is the expectation based on Gimp history. And unless we have decided that everyone who uses gimp is either a sysadmin or on a single-user box, it makes sense to keep that behaviour. > > are config.sub and guess necessary for most plug-ins? > > AFAIK they are necessary if you want to use configure. Hmm. I had a configure.in which ran without these... on the other hand, that didn't work very well which is why I switched to the way the template has it. ;) It is just that I feel silly having so many bytes used for the auto* when the plug-in needs no system-dependent changes... If we could get a template with working i18n without auto*, I would happily use that, but all gettext docs I have read say "use autostuff". :( Also, are there some packaging-people who could add an rpm spec file and a debian/ directory to the template?
