Installing new Gimp beta on Debian Sid / Unstable (REVISED)
Am just using a testing version of Gimp, relieved to see it's much faster than the beta and RC I'd tried, going to have a good play with this and see if I like it enough to install it as my main version.
$ sudo apt-get build-dep gimp
you may also need this:-
$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg62.dev
$ mkdir gimp-2.8
$ cd gimp-2.8
$ export PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/bin:$PATH
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib/pkgconfig
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib
$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/babl
$ cd babl
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8
$ make -j3
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/gegl
$ cd gegl
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8
$ make -j3
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
$ wget ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/gimp-2.8.0.tar.bz2
$ tar -xvf gimp-2.8.0.tar.bz2
$ cd gimp2.8/
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib/pkgconfig/
$ make -j3
$ sudo make install
$ cd /opt/gimp-2.8/bin/gimp

First alpha version available for download here . Few bugs yet, it works best in Zynjacku, seems to take more CPU usage in Ardour than it s...
WEll... this is Gimp 2.9... ???
ReplyDeleteThis gives me Gimp 2.9.1... Pretty unstable! :) Can you tell me how to uninstall this, and then install Gimp 2.8 on Debian testing? Thanks folks!
ReplyDeleteyes sorry about that I googled around to and found this, it seemed to work so I posted the instructions up, then saw the version number :o) it's so slow on my system for some reason, go to the original source folders where you unarched babl/gegl and gimp and in each just type make uninstall as root.
ReplyDeleteI had to do this on the last configure:
ReplyDelete./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.8/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.8/lib/pkgconfig/ --without-libtiff
might have been missing libtiff4-dev or libtiff5-dev, as long as tiff support isn't needed no major thing.
