Hi list,there is a problem with building GIMP on OS X since version 2.3.6 (2.3.5 still worked well). At the first look it seemed to be related to libtool, so I had a conversation with them. Peter gave me then some information that might help some enlighted gimp dev to wipe the problem out:

Right now they try to do this for OS != windows. Ick!To make an app relocatable on Mac OS X, you have to do more work than this.You need to link your libraries with an install_name (soname) of@executable_path/../lib/libfoo.dylib, by far the easiest thing to do to make apps relocatable is to build as normal with -Wl,- headerpad_max_install_names ~ in LDFLAGS, then you can fix things to have the @executable_path/ bit afterbuild using install_name_tool(1).Not libtool's fault, sorry, now you've got to go back to the gimp developers.Peter
btw. there is a complete build log at http://wernicke-online.net/temp/ gimp2.3.7_build.log
hope that helps! I'd really like to see GIMP running on OS X in the dev version. Greetings, lexA --- Live is like a chocolate box, you never know what you wanna get... GPG Signatur auf http://wernicke-online.net/Impressum/ prüfen
