OK. So I first look at git.

Yes. Using non-standard locations hopefully will not need too much effort. Is this all easy going with "./configure"? I hope so. Are there scripts, especially for installing all the stuff locally, so that Gimp-development can be done in this way with just a one-liner? > > A lot of other information is available at http://developer.gimp.org/faq.html OK, I will read it. [...] >> It looks like a lot of code... > > It is. But it is IMHO really good code... :) I have looked into some of the code... I looked on-systematically at some places. The first file I picked had a lot of hard coded values inside, doing it without defines, so I was shocked at the first moment... ;-) but the other files I looked into looked quite good. The coding style is close to what I use for my own code, and all in all it looked good, yes. :) > > If you drop by in #gimp on irc.gimp.org (aka gimpnet) ask questions (and > wait patiently, it is not really a real-time-response channel) aha. Some days ago I asked something quite unpatiently, and got no answer during the time I was looged in... So, thank you for clarification.
