You need gimp-ui-3.0.vapi and gimp-3.0.vapi;also bable-0.1.vapi and gegl-0.4.vapi; on Linux these end up in $PREFIX/share/vala/vapi - i'm not sure about Windows installs, sorry, maybe someone else can help with that. But they should be included. You'll also want to find gimptool-2.99; this has an option to build a plugin from source, although i don't know if it works for vala i don't see why not. You may need to generate the C first using vala, as you found. I found examples on the Web of people using gimptool in MINGW. You should have everything you need, depending on where you got gimp. It's more of a mess than usual right now for gimp 2.99.x or gimp 3, as a lot of API stuff is in transition to 3.0 and instrospection. liam _______________________________________________ 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
