Installation of Gimp
In order to get rid of an annoying message when running from a
terminal and/or if you wish to run the test suite, optionally use
the following patch:
patch -Np1 -i ../gimp-2.8.14-device_info-1.patch
Install Gimp by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --without-gvfs &&
make
To test the results (requires an X-Windowed terminal) issue:
make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
The gimp-help tarball contains images
and English text help for help files, together with translations.
It is "work in progress".
If you downloaded the gimp-help
tarball, unpack it and change into the root of the newly created
source tree. Prepare for the build with the following command:
ALL_LINGUAS="ca da de el en en_GB es fr it ja ko nl nn pt_BR ru sl sv zh_CN" \
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
Remove from ALL_LINGUAS the codes for
any languages which you do not wish to install. Alternatively,
remove the line starting with ALL_LINGUAS, if you wish to build all languages.
Now build the help files:
make
Issue the following commands as the root user to install the help files:
make install &&
chown -R root:root /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
Note
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and desktop
files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.24 or
GTK+-3.12.2 installed (for the icon cache) and
desktop-file-utils-0.22 (for the
desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the
root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache &&
update-desktop-database
Command Explanations
ALL_LINGUAS="ca da de el en en_GB ...":
by default, the help files will be rendered in all the available
languages. Remove the codes of any languages you do not wish to
build.
--without-gvfs: the choice
of the backend to handle URI information, e.g., when dragging
images from a browser into the Gimp, is made at compile time. This parameter
will ensure that cURL is used at
run-time, instead of Gvfs. You can
omit this if you are installing Gvfs AND will be running gvfsd, e.g., in a GNOME desktop.
--disable-python: This option is
necessary if you have not installed PyGTK.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild and install the API documentation.
Configuring The Gimp
Config Files
/etc/gimp/2.0/* and ~/.gimp-2.8/gimprc
Configuration Information
The Gimp executes a
configuration wizard for each user upon their initial use of the
program.
The Gimp executes the
firefox web browser
by default to view the help files. If you do not have
Firefox, or prefer a different
web browser, you can set a new system value in /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc. Execute the following
command as the root user,
replacing <browser> with your
preferred web browser:
echo '(web-browser "<browser> %s")' >> /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc

is the Gnu Image Manipulation Program. It works with a
variety of image formats and provides a large selection
of tools.
|
|
gimp-console
|
is a symbolic link to gimp-console-2.8.
|
|
gimp-console-2.8

them if they are distributed in one source file.
gimptool-2.0 can also
be used by programs that need to know what libraries and
include-paths The Gimp
was compiled with.
|
|

which offers an interface to core functions and to
functionality provided by plug-ins.
|
|
libgimpbase-2.0.so
|
provides the C functions for basic Gimp functionality such as
determining enumeration data types, gettext translation,
determining The Gimp's
version number and capabilities, handling data files and
accessing the environment.
|

provides the C functions which implements module loading
using GModule and keeps a list of GimpModule's found in a
given searchpath.
|
|
libgimpthumb-2.0.so
|
provides the C functions for handling The Gimp's thumbnail objects.
|
|
