Yeah that is gimp-2.8 not gimp-2.9.
Any link to a tarball?

No Rod it'll d/l the latest source.
When you open the the configure file (I think) you'll find 2.9.1 somewhere.
I am now in my regular install,need to reboot into the other one to make sure where it is located.
But this morning I tried again it's very unstable.
Gerard.

Edit: It's in the configure.ac file at the top.

I've learned something about git today (and yesterday...)
If you use "git clone", you clone the whole git repository. There are all versions (Branches) included.
The first choosen branch is "master", this is currently 2.9.1.
I have downloaded a gui-tool for git, I don't like the command prompt...
I "fetched" repository yesterday, "checked out" the branch gimp-2-8, this is currently gimp-2.8.1, there where some changes
(patches) in this branch, so I have the current version of gimp (2.8.1) compiled.
Today I "fetched" again the changes in repository, "cheked out" master, this is gimp-2.9.1 with the latest patches applied.
I'm compiling it right now. There where some errors, so I had to do some minor changes on code.
In this minute it is almost ready, then I will test.
What you need is the lates babl-0.1.11 with the latest patches, because there are some functions added, that gimp-2.9.1 references to. I used "git clone" for babl also...
Then there was an #include <gegl.h> missing in app/gui/gui-unique.c and in app/dialogs/lebl-dialog.c (new) there was used the function sleep(1), which is unknown to windows, I changed it to g_usleep(1000000) (sleep sleeps in seconds, g_usleep sleeps for microseconds) I will see...
There is still work to do on the way to gimp-2.10, but it will be cooooooool :-)

Okay, and thanks guys.

I don't use GIT much and it's a bit different then what i am used to.

@dd,
If you use --prefix=/opt maybe it can't find ../lib/pkgconfig.
That is where gimp goes looking for babl and gegl version.
I wrote about compiling from git a while ago.

Good luck,
Gerard.

No I think if that were the case it'd throw and error already at .configure I think? I've set the environment vars and compiled babl + gegl in the correct directory (I compiled both with --prefix=/opt/goat) and then configured gimp with the same prefix, it configured fine but when I try to make I get errors... I'll have to try to run it again to see what the errors are exactly.

Yeah that's what confused me about git at first too... but it's actually pretty neat when you get used to it.

Looks like you need to update GEGL and/or BABL.

Onkel Hatti · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 3:07 pm **(#18)**

Yes, thats right. You need the latest patches for babl, there are the new functions included.
I used git for that...

Onkel Hatti, did you get a successful build?
If so how does it run for you?

dd · **Joined:** Apr 10, 2011 **Posts:** 532

Hm, so the versions of gegl + babl that worked for 2.8 won't work for 2.9?

Ok then...

Onkel Hatti · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 3:41 pm **(#21)**

Yes, I got a successful build.
First tests: very unstable.
Loading a picture.
Changing precision to 16 Bit
changing colors (by "Values") -> crash
Painting works but is very slow.
still lots of testing. More maybe tomorrow...

almost...
As I said, there are some functions missing in Babl 0.1.11
There were changes in Babl on, I think 5th may. If you got your Babl later - voila.
If not (as I expect), you have to get Babl source with the latest patches, then compile it.
It will go, believe me, I did it and it worked (Have a look at the babl git repository)
The version didn't change, it is still 0.1.11, so this can be confusing.
Missing functions, hmm, I would call it 0.1.12...

Yeah, it works now! Thanks guys!

I tried the 16-bit mode with some gradients, it looks real nice but it's a bit buggy... some stray pixels show up that shouldn't be there.

That's what I used w/o any such messages.
From your error log I see that you d/led to your home directory.
Why not to /root ?
And do the compiling as root too,don't use sudo.
Don't worry about getting hacked,this is Linux.

Because I like to keep stuff in my home.
This is Linux, you can use it the way that feels best for you...

On another note, I tried to uncheck "use gegl" just to see what happens, and it crashed gimp... guess they really have ported it to use gegl only then

Just noticed that samj has 2.9.1 compiled in a Virtual Box package. Might be of interest to you.

"Here is a new version of VirtualBox running GimpEVAL. Cette version est faite avec la distribution Ubuntu "Xubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin)". This version is made with the Ubuntu distribution "Xubuntu 4.12 LTS (Precise Pangolin)."

I am downloading Sams Gimp-2.8 32 bit portable now. Thanks!

gerard82 · **Posted:** Wed May 09, 2012 2:08 pm **(#28)**

I d/led gimp-2.9.1 again together with babl-0.1.11 and gegl-0.2.0.
I enabled 16bit float and I have no color management.
But paint brush lags behind,selections work normal.
I wish the devs would give this priority otherwise nobody will upgrade I think.
Gerard.

I'm testing GIMP 2.9 from 05/05/2012 (Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit).
The version is very unstable (for me no rules when it suddenly turns off) - but I'm glad that there is a chance for very rapid development "Goat Invasion"
I think maybe in a few months everything will be OK.
So far - the effort to install - just for curiosity ...
