Compiling from git on Ubuntu 9.04

Hi,

Not sure how best to proceed - GIMP is requiring libgtk 2.16.6 to proceed, and Ubuntu 9.04 is shipping 2.16.1.

Any ideas?

Also - the INSTALL file probably needs an update: 4. You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.16.1 or newer

Never mind :)

Compiling 2.16.6 now, sticking in /opt...

you probably should remove any *.la files from your /usr/lib, or you will run into a bad dependency/libtool hell. Happened to me after installing gtk from git, and I was told this is common.

Well, I installed gtk 2.16.6 into /opt/gtk, then exported my LD_CONFIG_PATH to there before compiling gimp (and also added to PKG_CONFIG_PATH), so hopefully I've sidestepped that. If I'm headed for trouble with this approach, someone please let me know :)

It seems to be working OK, but it's not picking up the current GTK settings/devices (like tablet). I think this method will work well enough for testing purposes though, and my stock 2.6.6 install seems to be working just fine.

Thanks, Chris

This might work and might not.

Start gimp from the console, but before you do set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/gtk or where ever you installed it

For me it worked for some time an then suddenly after rebuilding something libtool was trying to link against wrong stuff and failed.
