Gimp build from source libtool error makefile edit

ZeroDaHero · 04-06-2010, 10:03 PM

Hello,
So I've been trying to get GIMP 2.7 installed on my Slackware64 13.0, but I'm having some issues. After some extensive finagling and dependence findings, I got it to configure correctly, however, the make fails with libtool trying to find libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `..//usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la' or unhandled argument `..//usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la'

libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la is in /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/, but for whatever reason, editing the makefile doesn't change this. (Yes I have the right permissions to edit it). What gives? First of all, why is it searching for /usr in the top build directory, and second, why doesn't an edit of the makefile work?

Thanks!

I have no solution for the expected issues,
but you may want to read this :

GIMP 2.7 Release Notes
QUOTE : " This is an unstable development version of the GNU Image
Manipulation Program. Please realize that this is just a snapshot of
the development tree. We are working hard towards GIMP 2.8, the next
stable release. GIMP 2.7 is in no way a final product. A lot of new
features are incomplete and some things may even be completely broken.
If you need to get work done, please use the stable version, GIMP 2.6."

You betcha. I forgot to mention that I'm having the same issue with GIMP 2.6.8. From Slack64 13.0, gimp 2.6.6. runs just fine.

sh unPack_rpm.sh gimp-2.6.8-6.fc14.src.rpm

Hmmm, that's weird, I've never really dealt with rpms in Slack...are your just running those all through rpm2tgz?

ZeroDaHero · 04-11-2010, 09:08 AM

ha, just kidding, I completely misread that...sorry!

Actually it's no wrong idea to use rpm2targz with an
SRC RPM source code package.

'rpm2targz' does the rpm unpacking, and you get a
<package>.tar.gz with the source code, the patches,
and a spec file you can check for configure options.

The advantage of the unPack_rpm.sh script :
You don't forget to create a new directory.
