Hi all,
I was trying to compile GEGL in windows using MSYS/MinGW. i have compiled Babl perfectly, but when i tried to compile GEGL, i had the following errors..

$ make -j4 make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/stable-sources/gegl-0.1.2' Making all in gegl

Thanks for your tips. But since i dont have much experience in MSYS/MinGW, i am giving you the commands that i have used. from your weblink i can see that i need to add ACLOCAL_FLAGS and XDG_DATA_DIRS?? if babl/babl.h is not found, then why no error in ./configure?

./configure --prefix=$INSTALL_PREFIX -C make -j4
make install –j4

These are the steps that i have followed inspired from this link..http://lightningismyname.blogspot.com/p/compiling-gimp.html... and some other links...

steps for compiling GEGL

1. Create the following directories

C:\gimp-win-beta C:\gimp-win-beta\build
C:\gimp-win-beta\downloads
C:\gimp-win-beta\perl

2. Install MinGW @ C:\gimp-win-beta\build

3. Install MinGW packages @ C:\gimp-win-beta\build

4. give PATH variable C:\gimp-win-beta\build\bin

5. Install MSYS, MSYS Development Kit, MSYS core

6. give HOME variable C:\gimp-win-beta\build\msys\1.0\home

7. Unzip Gtk+ bundle @ C:\gimp-win-beta\build\msys\1.0 (for updated pkg-config)

8. configure && make && make install babl copy babl.pc and babl.pc.in @ \lib\pkg-config after ./configure

9. configure && make && make install gegl copy gegl.pc and gegl.pc.in @ \lib\pkg-config after ./configure

Hello Martin,
i have checked the config.log file. 'BABL_CFLAGS='-IC:/gimp-win-beta/build/msys/1.0/include/babl-0.1 'BABL_LIBS='-LC:/gimp-win-beta/build/msys/1.0/lib -lbabl-0.1

Weird, it looks like libtool is invoked with babl on the include path, but then when libtool actually does the compilation, the babl include path is missing. Perhaps libtool thinks the include path is invalid and don't pass it on to gcc? Are you using the latest version of a mingw supported libtool? If you are, someone more experienced in Win32 compilation needs to take over. You could try copy the command libtool runs and add the babl compiler flags yourself.

i will check the versions of all. please tell me which command i have to give to run libtool and add the babl compiler flags myself? after i do that i will report back.

Hi Martin,
I have downloaded all the packages from this link.. http://www.mingw.org/wiki/InstallationHOWTOforMinGW this should be updated versions...

In my scrip, i set INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt But in the config.log, the path become: C:/gimp-win-beta/build/msys/1.0/lib If variable INSTALL_PREFIX is set correct, the lib path must have this pattern: BABL_CFLAGS='-I$INSTALL_PREFIX/include/babl-0.1 '
