Way back in January I submitted a patch to add DESTDIR support to
gimptool, primarily for using it in Makefiles, as you can't install a
plugin to any location except it's final destination. This prevents
installing it into an alternate location, for example when packaging it
for Debian. I regard this as a quite serious deficiency in gimptool
which limits its usefulness.
My patch was applied to the CVS head, but not to the 1.2 branch and now
it has been lost now gimptool.in has been replaced with gimptool-1.3.in.
Please would you consider the following two patches for inclusion into
the GIMP. The first adds DESTDIR support to 1.2 gimptool.in, the second
to 1.3 gimptool-1.3.in. The former includes a fix for the manpage too,
but there is no manpage in 1.3.
I made the patches against the CVS GIMP_1_2_3_PRE2 and HEAD branches.
Regards,
Roger
