Error compiling GIMP on Ubuntu 17.10 - crazyBaboon - 10-31-2017
Hi folks!
I am following this tutorial using Ubuntu 17.10: https://ninedegreesbelow.com/photography/build-gimp-in-prefix-for-artists.html. When I try to compile GIMP using the following code:
cd $SRC_DIR/gimp
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX --with-gimpdir=$HOME/code/gimpdefault/install/config --disable-gtk-doc
I get the following error:
WARNING: GCC 7.2.0 has a serious bug affecting GEGL/GIMP. We advise
against using this version of the compiler (previous and
further versions are fine).
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787222
Error: GIMP configuration failed.
- Error: missing dependency libmypaint >= 1.3.0
See the file 'INSTALL' for more help.
Configure failed or did not finish!
Any idea what to do solve this problem?
ps: I have used "export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules" since this is a Ubuntu (debian-based) system. I have also installed libmypaint by doing:
cd $SRC_DIR/libmypaint
./autogen.sh --prefix=$PREFIX
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make -j3 && make -j3 install

When it says "missing dependencies: xxxx" it means the header files, so this means to install some xxxx-dev package. I'm not sure that "make install" publishes the header files.
