Installing 2.1 w/2.0

Ok, I want to install 2.1 side-by-side with 2.0.

Everyone says to change the prefix (which I've never done before). Is that as simple as this? ./configure --prefix=~\gimp_dev && make && make install

Thanks, Eric P.

I would do ./configure --help

and have a good read. Then I would build it in /opt rather than mess up your home directory. So do configure like this

./configure --prefix=/opt (plus any other options you want)
make

Then su to root

make install

Then you will end up with all the libraries and binaries in /opt

Also a .gimp-2.1 directory will be created in your home directory that will contail all the brushes and gradients etc like in your current .gimp-2.0 directory (or .gimp-1.2).

To start your gimp-2.1, you will need to issue

/opt/bin/gimp-2.1

Try that and see what happens.

Hi,

Quoting Eric Pierce :

./configure --prefix=~\gimp_dev && make && make install

Yup. Except you will need to change that \ to /.

Cheers, Dave.
