[Gimp-developer] please help me compile gimp

[Marco Ciampa <ciampix posteo net>]

Hello devs,
I'm very sorry to bother you,
but I do not know what to do and who to ask,
and it is definitely my fault...
I messed up my distro deleting some packages I should not remove.
(Ubuntu 18.04 64)
Now it seems to work perfectly again after reinstall of those packages
(all other apps and compilations work) but apparently something is wrong, 
and gimp (2.10 from git) compilation don't work again...

This is the output after a make clean ; make -j4
