Most of it is written in C, some parts of the build system use a bit of Perl. A quick look at the source code would have allowed you to answer your own question easily. In addition to the gimp core written in C, you can also have the various scripting extensions written in Scheme (Script-Fu or the newer Tiny-Fu), Perl and Python. > 2. What are the tools and compilers that i need to compile gimpe source code. Please have a look at: http://www.gimp.org/source/ (stable version) http://developer.gimp.org/ (development version) That will give you all the necessary information. In addition, once you have a look at the source code, please read the README and INSTALL files. If you get the code from CVS, you can also have a look at the HACKING file. > 3. What is the latest version of GIMPs source code. The latest version of the source code is in CVS. If you want tarballs, then the latest stable version is 2.0.2 and the latest unstable version is 2.1.1, available from ftp.gimp.org and its mirrors. This information is also available from the web sites listed above. Please have a look at them. -Raphaël
