| 1. You need to have installed a recent version of pkg-config available from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/. 2. You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.10.13 or newer. GIMP needs an even more recent version of GLib (>= 2.12.3). It also wants Pango (>= 1.12.2). Sources for these can be grabbed from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/. 3. We require PangoFT2, a Pango backend that uses FreeType2. Make sure you have FreeType2 and fontconfig installed before you compile Pango. FreeType2 can be downloaded from http://www.freetype.org/. Fontconfig from http://freedesktop.org/fontconfig/. GIMP depends on freetype2 being newer than version 2.1.7 and fontconfig 2.2.0 or newer. Older versions are known to have bugs that seriously affect stability of GIMP. 4. We use libart2. Grab the module libart_lgpl out of GNOME SVN or fetch the tarball from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libart_lgpl/ 5. We use dbus-glib if available. Grab it from http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-glib/ 6. You may want to install other third party libraries or programs that are needed for some of the available plugins. We recommend to check that the following libraries are installed: libpng, libjpeg, libpoppler, libtiff, gtkhtml-2, libmng, librsvg, libwmf. 7. The Python extension requires Python development headers to be present. You will also need PyGTK and the respective development headers. |
