Re: [Gimp-developer] Problem with GIMP 2.9.x build dependencies

[Carmelo DrRaw <aferrero1975 gmail com>]

Carol, Partha,

thanks for your help. I am already using PyGTK-2.24.0, however it searches for pygobject-2.0.pc in the 
PKG_CONFIG path, and that’s what forces me to use a version of pygobject not newer than 2.28.6…

Partha, could you tell me which combination of library versions are you using for your windows and OS X 
builds?

Thanks!
