hello! MAXPATHLEN is used unconditionaly in gimp's sources. POSIX allows not to define it, so systems that don't have a path length limit, like GNU, break on building the gimp. please apply this little patch to fix it: --- gimp1.2-1.2.3/app/app_procs.c.old 2003-03-29 19:39:54.000000000 +0100 +++ gimp1.2-1.2.3/app/app_procs.c 2003-03-29 19:40:26.000000000 +0100 @@ -132,7 +132,11 @@ static gint logo_area_width = 0; static gint logo_area_height = 0; static gint show_logo = SHOW_NEVER; +#ifdef MAXPATHLEN static gint max_label_length = MAXPATHLEN; +#else +static gint max_label_length = 0; +#endif void -- Robert Millan make: *** No rule to make target `war'.
