Hi,

does anybody know if the normalmap and the resynthesizer plug-ins do work with GIMP 2.6?

I am on Gentoo and currently have two different versions of GIMP - 2.4 installed system wide and 2.6 installed only for me. I use 2.4 when I need these plug-ins and 2.6 for everything else. Currently if I try to use these and other plug-ins (I am not speaking of these that came with the GIMP itself) with GIMP 2.6 I am getting an error message like this:

gimp_plug_in_handle_proc_run: ERROR

Could not execute plug-in "normalmap" (/home/peter/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/normalmap) because it uses an obsolete version of the plug-in protocol.

I use resynthesizer with GIMP 2.6 fine. Haven't heard of normalmap.

Anyway, this error is saying that your plugin is compiled against a version of gimp that's too old. So recompile it.

Hi,
I have resynthesizer working on 2.6.3.

That's good!

I know I have to recompile them, but I don't know how to recompile them against a specific version of GIMP, not the system wide installed. And that is why I decided to ask you, before I upgrade my GIMP system wide.

Well, if you use the gimptool belonging to your 2.6 GIMP to compile the plugin, rather than the systemwide gimptool, that should be effective.

Hm, thanks David, but it isn't so easy, because the package uses pkg-config too.

Try setting your PKG_CONFIG_PATH before configuring the plugins.

Hm, thanks David, but it isn't so easy, because the package uses pkg-config too. So I tried to alter the Makefile by defining the path to the new gimptool and adding
--define-variable=prefix=/home/peter/install/gimp to the pkg-config command to tell it where to search for libraries, but then the make failed with LOTS of errors like this: /home/peter/install/gimp/include/gimp-2.0/libgimpcolor/gimpcolorspace.h:76: error: expected ')' before '*' token

Greetings, Peter

I don't know if this will help in your case; but in general I find it better not to mess around with the Makefile and try to get round this sort of problem by setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. For example, PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkconfig (or wherever's appropriate, instead of the system-wide /usr/lib/pkconfig) ; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH; ./configure; make; make install

GIMP provides backward compatibility for plug-ins. Any dynamically linked plug-in compiled for an older version of GIMP will continue to work without the need to recompile it.

I am on Gentoo and currently have two different versions of GIMP - 2.4 installed system wide and 2.6 installed only for me. I use 2.4 when I need these plug-ins and 2.6 for everything else. Currently if I try to use these and other plug-ins (I am not speaking of these that came with the GIMP itself) with GIMP 2.6 I am getting an error message like this:

This means that your plug-in is either linked statically or that it is picking up the wrong libgimp library (the one for GIMP 2.4).
