The process starts here: https://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Building

I can help you fill the gaps.

How about a complete rundown on the process? Did you use 'buntu 20.04?

Last time I compiled Gimp was a Gimp 2.7 so that tells you how long ago that was. Added nearly a GB in devel files (I was using PClinuxOS at the time) Came to the conclusion then, not worth the added bloat, Although these days I would use a VM.

Current situation, not looking promising. Thorsten Stettin could do with some help. I keep an eye on https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasc...le-prepare for what eventually goes in the Gimp PPA.
