Later, to run the GIMP you have installed outside the usual places, you also need some of these environment variables. # Used to find programs/tools during build export PATH = " $ " You should then create another prefix directory where GIMP (and some dependencies) may be installed safely.
#Gimp. install#
If you’re building GIMP from master, you may not want to install it in your system prefix, as you may break your system GIMP installation, or get odd behavior, especially if you also have a system version of GIMP installed. Choose a place to install everything, and set a variable to point to it:.
#Gimp. software#
You may need to install some software to build GIMP, including a C compiler, make, GNU autotools, meson, and more, plus many dependencies.These text files are generated by our build system and contain up-to-date Some of GIMP’s plugins depend on (at least) the following librariesįor more complete list of dependencies, see the files: – a graph based image processing library, heavily used in GIMP’s core. – a library for converting between pixel formats, heavily used by GIMP when communicating with GEGL. GIMP’s core depends also on two libraries which are mainly (but not only) intended to be used with GIMP: a painting library that allows a lot of flexibility for brushes it needs both libmypaint (the libmypaint-v1 branch) and mypaint-brushes (the v1.3.x branch). the Little Color Management System, a library for working with color profiles. – a library for laying out and rendering text, used also in GTK. Python-Cairo: Python bindings for Cairo (not necessary anymore for GIMP 2.99 and later).

– a 2D graphics library, used for drawing some of GIMP’s widget and also used by GTK. a library for manipulating exif data (image metadata).

GIMP 2.10 needs GTK+2 whereas GIMP 2.99 and later need GTK 3.0. – a graphical toolkit for building cross-platform user interfaces. a library for implementing objects (as in Object-Oriented-Programming) in C. – a library used by many GNOME applications, containing utilities and common data structures for programs written in C. GIMP depends on quite a few libraries, including but not limited to:
