Gimp 2.4.0

[ttuuxxx]

Gimp 2.4.0 is my favourite version of Gimp, Due to how small it is, how it takes way less Libs than the modern version, It loads way quicker and is about 20 times smaller than the latest. The Only issue I'm having is that it doesn't compile well with the latest gtk 2. I was wondering if anyone would like to look at the sources and see if they can get them to compile and fix the source files, heck we could make a Puppy fork of it and maybe add features like a single screen in the future etc. Anyways here's the Original Sources https://download.gimp.org/mirror/pub/gi ... .0.tar.bz2
Thanks ttuuxxx

first error

fatal error: curl/types.h: No such file or directory
#include <curl/types.h>

to fix it I made a file in /usr/include/curl/types.h with the text

/* not used */

the next error

undefined reference to `png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8'

changed that to

png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8

next error is

mng.c:988:26: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘png_struct {aka struct png_struct_def}’
if (setjmp (png_ptr->jmpbuf) != 0)

I started building Gimp 2.4.0 and was able to make it to the linking stage. Your current errors appear to be mng related. You can disable MNG by looking at

Code: Select all

./configure --help

I'll try to compile later. Are you OK if I use Gimp 2.4.7, as to get some 2.4.x bugs addressed (if any). What version of Puppy are you using?

I'm using a version of bionicpup64 I made a few years back. I like 2.4.0 because it doesn't even use gegl and babl deps either. Does 2.4.7 use gegl and babl ? Thanks for input.

also PNG isn't compiling right either.

Ok trying to compile 2.4.7 doesn't need any extra deps either, so this version is fine.

icoload.c first error @ 290, 297 change to png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8 fixes it.

disabled mng, png is having errors.

I'm still working on building Gimp 2.4.x. There was a problem with libcurl, since the version that Gimp 2.4.x new about had files that no longer are distributed with Curl. There are also a lot of issues with deprecated functions and methods. Some lib linking issues addressed.

ttuuxxx, I think that the issues you see are because you don't have the dev packages installed for specific Gimp features (such as MNG support). I've installed the dev packages and don't have the errors that you are encountering.

Bottom line is I'm still working on building this. Is anyone else trying to build Gimp 2.4.x?
