As I've already explained in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83455 you shouldn't need gimp-mkproxy since the files it generates are distributed. I wonder why the Makefile is trying to regenerate them especially since I created the tarball using make distcheck which checks that all needed files are there. As a workaround, try to touch the .c and .h files in libgimpproxy and rerun make. Salut, Sven
