[Gimp-developer] GIMP git Glib Issues

[Partha Bagchi <partha1b gmail com>]

Platform Windows 10 64bit

I'm getting circular logic regarding glib-2.0 requirements with configure.

If I provide glib-2.0 version 2.56.1 then we are stopped by the Windows bug
that requires glib-2.0 to be 2.54.x.

If I provide glib-2.0 2.54.x then I get the error:

Error: GIMP configuration failed.

  - Error: missing dependency glib >= 2.56.0
      *** Test for GLIB failed


When I check the log, I see:

configure:22742: checking for GLIB - version >= 2.56.0
