Do you have a project in mind?

To build gimp you need to build all its dependencies not available
from your distro. At this point its for most distros quite a long
list, except for debian testing I belive. There you just need gimp-s
accopmaning projects, babl and gegl. Please join #gimp IRC on gimpnet
if you need further assistance with compiling. As to patches, it is
your task to propose a solution and we will evaluate it.
