Martin has covered that in http://www.chromecode.com/2009/12/best-way-to-keep-up-with-gimp-from-git_26.html That's rather easy to follow, shouldn't take more take more than an hour*, even when running into each problem that's commonly encountered on a default Ubuntu install (i.e. no compilers, no developer files, ...) deliberately. *assuming a broadband connection and something around a 2GHz system, otherwise add some buffer for download and compile times > * If we do it right, compiling for Linux vs. Windows vs. OSx ought > require no more than the flip of a switch. If you've got a build environment set up, it builds with the exact same commands. > * Shouldn't we standardize on a common development IDE (like Eclipse)? Shouldn't be necessary - if you make sure that the IDE doesn't interfere with the autotools build setup and/or introduces its own project files, then you may choose any IDE you like.
