Greetings,

Has anyone had any luck installing a plugin called Multitile? It's a terrazzo tile plugin that's described as being similar to Xaos Tools Terrazzo plugin, but I can't get it to install correctly. Any pointers would be much appreciated!

do you have a location of this plug-in. it is (unfortunately) the first time i have heard about it.

Got it at http://registry.gimp.org/list?name=multitile

It says it's for Gimp 1.0 so maybe it's just not going to work. When I used the gimptool-2.0 command it threw so many errors that you could write a book (and I will post them if it will help).

I am using Debian Linux kernel 2.6.6 and KDE 3.2

okay, that is funny. i really need to spend sometime with the registry again ;}

gimp-1.0, gimp-1.2 and gimp-2.0 and now even gimp-2.1 are all very very different beasts from each other. i cannot imagine that a gimp-1 plug-in would easily work with any of the newer ones.

kde and gimp work fine together, except occasionally with window focus and theme issues -- things like this are to be expected, just keep your eye out for that.

perhaps your recent interest in this plug-in will magically cause it to be updated for gimp2, i dunno.

It could happen.

thank you very very much. it will be a great exercise with everyones new gimptool to start to learn to install these new plug-ins that are popping up all over the place for gimp2 to use.

thanks again :)

Hi,

gimp-2.1 is backward compatible with gimp-2.0 and all plug-ins compiled for gimp-2.0 are supposed to work with gimp-2.1 (and gimp-2.2).

sorry, i was corrected on this earlier.

the big changes have been with the GimpToolKit.

sorry to blame the wrong api. please accept my apology.

This file linked above was the same as the original I grabbed off of the Plug-in Registry.

Not quite the same ...
You did notice that I fixed it to compile for 2.0, didn't you?

By the way - did you try to contact the original authors? If not, would you like to do it now, and let them know about my changes?

Well, we won't be able to help you unless you do just that.

That would help, but:

gimptool --install Multitile.c

builds on my system with only two minor warnings, so if there are lots of errors it's probably something to do with your setup. Can you compile other plugins OK?

There was an earlier email to the list that stated that Debian uses a library package called libgimp2.0-dev but I can't find it anywhere, not even on the Debian web site.
