I searched my history for libmypaint as well as otherthings found I did this;

a.  git clone https://github.com/mypaint/libmypaint.git
b.  I then read the README.md
c.  Had to install scons
d.  The last scons command was # scons prefix=/home/owen/Gimp-GIT enable_gegl=true
(but judging by the number of other attempts, I must have had some problem)
e.  That generated the libmypaint-gegl.pc
f.  then I exported /home/owen/Gimp-GIT/libmypaint to the PKG_CONFIG path
g.  Lastly I installed MyPaint from a debian package manager for the brushes
h.  rebuilt gimp, there was an entry to load mypaint brushes, but "it didn't work"


All that was some time ago and many iterations later I see I no longer build gimp with libmypaint.

In the README.md, there is an interesting line that says;

You can also build a minimal version of libmypaint directly into your application by including "libmypaint.c"

I never psyched that out, but would like to know how to do that.
