GIMP Compile Problem, LFS 6.0 & BLFS 5.1

drowbot · 12-10-2004, 10:54 AM

I'm trying to compile GIMP 2.0.0 on my LFS-6.0 system. I have the required dependencies, GTK+-2.4.1 and libart_lgpl-2.3.16. I also have libmng-1.0.7 and Python-2.3.3 installed. I am using the 'package user' method for package management, as described in the BLFS hint. When I run 'make' in my GIMP build directory, I get the following errors:

paint-funcs.c:4484: error: conflicting types for 'initial_region'
paint-funcs.h:359: error: previous declaration of 'initial_region' was here
paint-funcs.c:4484: error: conflicting types for 'initial_region'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/gimp/gimp-2.0.0'

Can anybody help me out? Thanks!

Gimp-2.0.0 wouldn't compile with gcc-3.4 without being patched slightly. You could open gimp-2.0.0/app/paint-funcs/paint-funcs.c in a text editor and go to line 4483 (or therabouts) and change the line
InitialMode type)
so that it reads
CombinationMode type)
Like this

Code:

--- gimp-2.0.0.orig/app/paint-funcs/paint-funcs.c	2004-03-13 11:34:45.000000000 +0000
+++ gimp-2.0.0/app/paint-funcs/paint-funcs.c	2004-07-14 16:35:51.513668718 +0100

Or you could take the easy way out and download whatever the current version is. I read on Slashdot that Gimp-2.2 is due for release any day

Thanks! I'll go with the hands-on approach. Thanks again!
