My org has CentOS 7, and I REALLY want to build GIMP 2.10. CentOS is conservative, and does not ship with many of 2.10's dependencies. My problem is that after I "have" 2.10's dependencies, I don't know how to configure autoconf and configure to find them. I have read https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Building, https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Developer_FAQ#Compiling_GIMP ,https://www.gimp.org/source/#gimp-requirements and lots of other pages that I have googled. But they are missing the details on setting env variables and command-line options. I have all the tarballs listed in the pages above, and I have built most of the packages. But some packages ( gegl, fontconfig ) won't build because they can't find THEIR dependencies, though they, too, have been built, or installed via yum. Here is what I have bash source before I run "autogen.sh --prefix=$INSTALL_PREFIX" or "configure --prefix=$INSTALL_PREFIX" for each dependency: source /usr/bin/scl_source enable devtoolset-7 export GIMP_BLD_HOME=$HOME/projects/3rdparty/gimp_world/gimp export SRC_DIR=$GIMP_BLD_HOME/src export INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/opt/gimp-10 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$INSTALL_PREFIX/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$INSTALL_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH export PATH=$INSTALL_PREFIX/bin:$PATH export CFLAGS="-march=native -O3" All the above dirs exist. With gexiv2, I run "./configure" - - - "sudo make install" without error, but GIMP 2.10 autogen still fails with: Error: missing dependency gexiv2 >= 0.10.6 . ~/opt/gimp-10/libs has new libgexiv* files there,. I cannot gegl to build, it fails to find glib-dev 2.54 installed by yum , nor can I build fontconfig, because it fails to find freetype > 21, though I have built and "installed" fretype version 26. Sorry, I'm not at all a C++ guy! Please be explicit, and I thank you very, very much! _______________________________________________ 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
