There is no GTK+ though, and would need to build more dependencies to be fully distro-independent*. https://github.com/jonnor/imgflo-dependencies/blob/master/Makefile https://github.com/jonnor/imgflo-dependencies/blob/master/env.sh.in This also includes headers, including some trickery to make pkg-config relocatable, so can also be used for developing. If someone was to make a relocatable GIMP build, please consider the same, then people can also develop just by downloading a single bundle. By building a git checkout of GIMP/GEGL/BABL against the bundled prefix and then installing into it, one could also develop core things this way (not just plugins). https://github.com/jonnor/imgflo/blob/master/Makefile#L66 https://github.com/jonnor/imgflo/blob/master/Makefile#L55 * it can be quite tricky to avoid host dependencies leaking into the build, and quite a lot of work to build absolutely everything needed (down to or including glibc). So it is practical to use something that provides some isolation and some ready-made recipies - like Docker, makechrootpkg (from Arch), or similar. -- Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
