I am almost finished compiling Gimp-2.7.5 which is probably going to be the last test beta for 2.7.
This is the latest GIT version, with the new GEGL-0.1.9, BABL-0.1.7, and new PANGOCAIRO.
I have heard this last test version is awesome, and also has tablet support fixed.

I will post a screenshot when the compile is finished and i launch it.

way to go Rod!

Thanks Partha!
This compile seems to be taking forever for some reason.GEGL also.
I am just about half way through the common plug-ins. I believe that is the last part.



Getting there

waiting with you

Actually i finished compiling, created an installer, and installed the Gimp-2.7.5 program on my computer.
Everything works real nice except GEGL. Every time i try to use it ...boom Gimp crashes.



Python-fu works well, as well as Script-fu. I wonder if it's because of the new GEGL package?

Another thing that messed me up was that when it installed it used the UserFolder/.gimp-2.6 folder to draw from.
So when it first launched i got a bunch of errors because it was drawing plugins from gimp-2.6/plug-ins folder.
After i launched it, i closed it right away, and i just deleted everything inside the folders (sub folders of UserFilder/.gimp-2.7), and i was all set.
Except for GEGL that is.

So if you install this one be sure and create a .gimp-2.7 folder first to avoid those launch errors.

A portable version would solve the problem! Any chance?

humm also partha build has problem with gegl, ..just a coincidence or something else ?

I probably will not release one but Partha may.
This is the last beta before the 2.8 release or so i am told.So he may just pop out a Gimp-2.7.5 also.
Maybe after he compiles his i can figure out what went wrong with mine.
I updated Pix-Buf, Glib, Cairo, BABL, and GEGL so it should have compiled without a hitch. I could not find a newer version of ATK.
I did get some deprecation errors for some of the header files in ATK and GTK/Pix-Buf.
G_CONST_RETURN gchar seems to be deprecated?


Ah well maybe Partha can fix it. I won't release my version until the GEGL bug is fixed.

PC did Partha release a version of the last beta already?

Incidentally this version is available for Linux already so if someone wants to grab it and test GEGL i would be ecstatic.
That would tell me if GEGL newest version is buggy.

Thanks.

not yet but something was wrong with gegl in the last 32 bit
(maybe just some dll missed not sure)

i just saw your last post...it is long time i do not try to compile gimp on linux i may try tonight (but if i cannot finish tonight, tomorrow i will too busy to continue )
