Let the newbie's like me (coming out of boot camp) write some of the Docs.
Presently I have everything compiled and running under Ubuntu, and I am just reviewing the code to get some sort of context.
It is huge. Incredible, actually. Who wrote all of this? Wow.
A few comments:
* It seems to work best to put the entire project (all source, and all build product) under a project folder in the Home directory.
* If possible, that should include a copy of any external dependencies . . . with environment variables (etc) adjusted accordingly
* The project ought to be able to exist in a "bubble" . . . so as to avoid confusion . . . regarding copies of dependencies that might exist in the OS.
* Multiple different project versions ought to be able to exist on the same machine without stepping over each other.
Note: I wrote a minimal bash script that duplicates (automates) the steps I took to get to the present state. Maybe we could expand on that idea.
* If we do it right, compiling for Linux vs. Windows vs. OSx ought require no more than the flip of a switch. The Blender folks, and others, are moving in that direction.
* Shouldn't we standardize on a common development IDE (like Eclipse)? If I am missing something in that area . . . let me know.
Thanks,
Steve Greenwalt (a.k.a. "Acumen")

Maybe just a good documentation for GIMP source is needed? Once I tried to patch TinyScheme interpreter to make it work faster. In files I was working on was almost no comments.Łukasz Czerwiński
