Compile module like display-filter-lcms.c

What's the right way to compile a module such as display-filter-lcms.c?

gimptool-2.0 outputs a gcc command:

gcc -pthread -I/usr/include/freetype2 -o display-filter-lcms /usr/local/src/gimp/gimp/modules/display-filter-lcms.c -Wl,--export-dynamic -pthread -L/usr/local/lib64 -lgimpui-2.0 -lgimpwidgets-2.0 -lgimpmodule-2.0 -lgimp-2.0 -lgimpmath-2.0 -lgimpconfig-2.0 -lgimpcolor-2.0 -lgimpbase-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgegl-0.2 -lgmodule-2.0 -lrt -lbabl-0.1 -lm -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -llcms

But when I tried to compile, the terminal output complained:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.6/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.15/csu/../sysdeps/x86_64/elf/start.S:109: undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Compiling all of Gimp takes a half hour on my old, slow machine, so there has to be a better way to recompile the display-filter-lcms module.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help, Elle Stone

The build of the in-tree modules is already set up in automake. Just change the file after having compiled GIMP without modifications, and run "make" (and "make install"). Only the neccesary files will be recompiled when you do this. I recommend doing the same when working on the in-tree plugins, or any other part of the GIMP source code.

If the build parameters needs changing, like for building against LCMS 2 instead of 1, I'm afraid you will have to look into the autotools files (configure.ac and Makefile.am). Read up on autotools on the web, and ask if you get stuck.

Jon, thanks! That worked perfectly. Elle
