Re: [Gimp-developer] building GIMP from git

It's likely that you're missing LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you're loading GIMP.
While you're starting GIMP that was compiled from Git it is loading GEGL
libraries from other sources.  You should do the following (assuming GIMP,
GEGL, and BABL were installed under /usr/local prefix by default):

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib gimp-2.9

GIMP will then look to /usr/local/lib for its GEGL and BABL libraries
instead of /usr/lib (which is where it is typically installed by a package
manager).

With everyone telling how they build GIMP I would like to add how to avoid 
setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH: baking the path into the executable.

I am installing everything (babl, gegl and GIMP) to /opt/gimp-GIT/ (which 
belongs to my user so I don't need root to install). These are my calls to 
configure the three, afterwards a simple "make -j5 install" is enough.

babl:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/gimp-GIT/lib" CFLAGS="-march=native -O3" 
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-GIT/

gegl (disabling stuff just because I don't need it):
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/gimp-GIT/lib/pkgconfig" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -
Wl,/opt/gimp-GIT/lib" CFLAGS="-march=native -O3" CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS" 
./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-GIT/ --disable-docs --without-libavformat --
without-vala

GIMP (with mypaint being installed in /opt/mypaint/):
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/gimp-GIT/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/mypaint/lib/pkgconfig" 
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/gimp-GIT/lib" CFLAGS="-march=native -O3" 
CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-GIT --enable-python

Each of them is one line.

Thus I used Martin Nordholts' explanation in
http://www.gimp.org/source/howtos/gimp-git-build.html, but I added

gegl,

babl, and gdk-pixbuf tothe packages to be fetched from git, compiled

installed, and I added GIO_EXTRA_MODULES  to the exported variables,
although I'm not sure that is needed.

Thanks to all!

Based on comments in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gegl-git/, it
does look like maybe the original problem was that GIMP was finding a
too-outdated version of GEGL.

I never needed to export GIO_EXTRA_MODULES until I tried to run GIMP 2.8
installed from the Gentoo package manager alongside babl/GEGL/GIMP from

git

installed in a prefix. But here's the reference, fwiw:

Looking at what Mitch said, it seems exporting GIO_EXTRA_MODULES is only
be needed if glib is also built in the prefix. So sorry for the noise!
if
you didn't also build glib in the prefix.

For the next person trying to build GIMP from git who might stumble over
this thread, a few other "why it doesn't work and what to do" are
documented here:
