Trying to GIMP2Forum: myDSL Extensions (deprecated) Topic: Trying to GIMP2 started by: danini Posted by danini on Aug. 11 2004,11:53
i was trying to install gimp2 in my dsl (always onlive version in a hard disk)i have finished 2 bottle of coke, but now works...... partially i explain how i do it apt-get frome testing gimp via apt get i have some many errors, that stop the decompress process of dpkg so i decompress manually the deb packacges and i put in manually in the destination folders (i use personzlized buttons from emelfm to create dsl files and install they) after that i try to execute gimp but gimp need some libraries that i need to install manually libXrandr* normally placed in /usr/X11R6/liblibXrandr* but this path don't work in dsl so i put then in /usr/bin to test - (how can i preserve the original destination of the libraries?) and voila gimp2 starts but there are a problem with the gtk as u can see in the screenshot... seem to works at least some things, but there are a lot of work before to make a definitive package .... one thing that could be great is that the people that is working in related dsl projects goes ino the official irc channel (irc.freenode.org #damnsmalllinux) i feel always alone there ;-) < Screenshot of Gimp2 > vivre le fromage et la rillette du mans danini Posted by ke4nt1 on Aug. 11 2004,12:30
danini,I'm guessing the startup command is "gimp" If you type "gimp --help" , are their any path switches that can accompany the command? Study the "abiword" package.. ( abiword.dsl ) It installs to /opt , a good thing for folks who are memory challenged. ( /opt is natively writable in the filesystem ) Abiword also has gtk2 in it's .dsl build... Perhaps it will give you some pointers about how to work with gtk2 in DSL and in unusual locations.... For example, in the XMahjongg.tar.gz package , the xmahjongg command has an option called --config-dir , which tells the executable WHERE the location of the configuration data is.. 73 ke4nt Posted by danini on Aug. 12 2004,23:21
there aren't any paths to change from the command line, from gimp, the problems seems to be in the configuration of the libraries of pango in the gtk2 what does exactly does the utility apt-get, after download? configure? if i save all the *.deb can i make the same configuration via dpkg or another way? how? i have tried to make a simple dsl with all the deb files required, but don't work, i need to find each one of the libraries that need to be configured and how i has been analizing packages that's works with gtk2 like abiword ,, but i think are quite differents... anyway with the method in my last post gimp2 works quite well so many thinks to learn at the same time... danini..

I use synaptic and the non-official debian sarge-dvd to install gimp. It comes with the version 1-3 (the old ist 1-2) and i have to start it so (gimp1-3). It works fine. vabene

the gimp2 is on the ftp, before the question in this package, ont time installed via dsl, you need to type rooty, in a xterm, after that u can click in the dsl menu or in the icon in the desktopdanini |
