Hi Mukund,

Thanks for making it so that gimp build requires one less application to package! It is working flawlessly in Windows 32-bit. :)

I am having trouble on 64-bit. There is not output and the only error message I have to give you is:

____________Error Message____________ Opening 'C:\Users\partha\Pictures\Images\PostScript Examples\tiger.eps' failed:

Could not interpret Postscript file 'C:\Users\partha\Pictures\Images\PostScript Examples\tiger.eps' ____________End Error________________

Any suggestions would be most helpful

I don't know what this issue might be as it is on Windows and I don't have a Windows environment handy. Maybe you can talk to ender about it. Even he will have to bundle Ghostscript in his Windows installer.

Kind regards,

Mukund

Interesting, a 2.6.12 user just reported this:

"Hi! I've found really bad error in 2.6.12 - I can't import pdf files properly. Only vector elements (e.g. texts) can be opened, raster images are missing or left as black rectangles. 2.6.11 works fine. (Win7 64bit)"

The change Partha mentions is only in the master branch.

Kind regards,

No! Really? :)

I don't want to be pushy, but I'm curious about the status of work on gimp 2.8. Just curious.

It's a work in progress, final stage.

Thanks for you response Mukund. I will continue to investigate by isolating the iapi code and running it separately to determine why it does not work on 64-bit Windows. Does it work on 64-bit Linux?

Sure it does :)

Finally, Ender, can you help or are you aware of this issue?

Thanks! Partha

Kind regards,

Mukund

Is there anything that us non-programmers can do to speed the process? (Try to do a splash screen contest etc.)

Also wondering :) I'm an artist who does all work in GIMP, no programming experience though. Is there any way for us designers to help contribute to the development without coding [icons, UI, etc]? Or are donations the best way to help?

I didn't see any replies from him here. So perhaps he is busy.

I haven't tried building with ghostscript yet.

I wonder why tiff 4.0.1 is failing on my builds. Has anyone tested tiff 4.0.1 on a Linux machine to confirm this?

This seems to be a Windows-specific problem. I've got GIMP 2.6.12 built against libtiff-5.dll (ver. 4.0.0), and it doesn't load any tiff files, while GIMP 2.6.12 on Linux built against libtiff.so.5.0.5 (version 4.0.0-r1, gentoo) works fine.
