Hi, Developers!

I had spotted a lack of recent macOS builds. Is there any how-to on macOS build process?

I’m willing to participate in writing such a documentation, there was a #machomebrew formula for GIMP 2.8.x, but 2.10 series has more dependencies. My plan is to update and maintain this deprecated formula in my personal Homebrew tap: yurikoles/yurikoles/gimp. This may be a replacement for dedicated document, since brew formulas is just some Ruby+shell code.

I’m also willing to maintain CI for macOS, if we can find a dedicated machine for this.

Hi Shlomi,

Thanks for suggestions, but I see that documentation is very poor and outdated. I had updated formula in my tap, it now installs the latest stable release, 2.10.6, But I’m still unable to install HEAD, because of appstream-glib linking problem, Which is also in my tap (yurikoles/yurikoles/appstream-glib). I had reported an issue upstream [1].

In two words: meson uses `version-script` ld flag, which is available only in GNU ld on Linux, so LLVM/(macOS, *BSD) and even GNU ld on platforms beside Linux is unable to build appstream-glib for now.

see https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ - perhaps there are some docs or scripts inside the git repo - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/ .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_CI provides gratis CI for macOS for GitHub-based open source projects. There are other CI services as well.
