Re: [Gimp-user] Resyntheszer




...you'll need to compile it yourself.

I was hoping to avoid that.... And your next idea:

Could you download the source package and extract the plugin you need (from GIMP-plugin-registry)?


 ...was brilliant!  I wish I had thought of it!

Anyway, I used Synaptic to download --> I selected the package, clicked on Install, Clicked Apply, but 
checked "Download packages only."
To install gimp-plugin-registry, it insists on bringing in 4 or 5 other packages (one of which was gimp-gmic 
!)
My Lubuntu stores packages (for a while, anyway) at /var/cache/apt/archives.  I copied the 
gimp-plugin-registry package .deb file to my Downloads directory in my separate /data partition, made a new 
directory in which to put all the extracted files, and used Archive Manager on the .deb file, and then on the 
data.tar.xz file within it to extract the 10 resynthesizer-based files
(I noticed that this package's  resynthsizer_gui differed from my resynthesizer-gui, so I thought I'd best 
replace the .py files with the new ones,
as there was obviously at least one change...)  I did not extract the two (why are there two?) 
resynthesizer.mo files, as I had no idea what they are or do. They do not seem to be necessary to run  
Heal-Selection (or Resynthesizer, which it calls).

GIMP now has no problem starting up and using the resynthersizer files.  Now, I'll just have to practice!


Thank you, Pat for your idea.

[I was more detailed in my response, in case anyone else wanted to do something similar, and didn't know 
how...]

If you're not going to grab pre-built binaries for resynthesizer, you'll need to compile it yourself. 

Could you download the source package and extract the plugin you need (from GIMP-plugin-registry)?

I have downloaded Resynthesizer, to get Heal Selection and Heal Transparency.

I made the .py files executable, and transferred them and the resynthesizer[-gui] files to the location

"Heal-___" appear in the menu, but when I activate the form, I get the following error window detail:

Running from terminal, I found why the procedure was not found:

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/resynthesizer: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpui-2.0.so.0: wrong 
ELF class: ELFCLASS64
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/resynthesizer-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpui-2.0.so.0: 
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Some research seems to indicate that "wrong ELF class" is a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue.
Since I installed Lubuntu 16.10 as 64-bit, I guess I should assume that the resynthesizer* files somehow 
are 32-bit.

Does there exist a 64-bit version of resynthesizer, or is there a way around this problem?
There was no mention of this issue where I got the files:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/27986

Google-ing the problem only resulted in two suggestions:
1. get a different GIMP that already has Heal-x and Resynth. installed  (throw the baby out with the 
bathwater)
2. install gimp-plugin-registry (install what seems like hundreds of plugins that I don't want, to get the 
2 or 3 that I do want = Overkill - Similar to when I originally tried to get Nemo file manager, and (at the 
time) also had to install the entire Cinnamon desktop...)

There must be a place to get just the two resynthesizer files, that are compatible with my system...
(One assumes that the .py files, being interpreted scripts, don't come in 32-bit vs 64-bit versions.)



if you are on Ubuntu or a variant, you can get up-to-date Gimp and a
matching copy of the more popular plugins (including resynthesizer) by
adding Otto Kesselgulash's PPA to your software sources:

https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch/+archive/ubuntu/gimp

 From there you can install packages 'gimp' (which is the latest version
2.8.18), 'gimp-plugin-registry' (several useful plugins including
resynthesizer) and 'gmic'.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what I was talking about in #2 above of the suggestions made to me...

You suggest " 'gimp-plugin-registry' (several useful plugins including resynthesizer) and 'gmic'."
It may indeed have several useful plugins, but in fact it has a total of 179 or so plugins and scripts
(~24 plugins, ~155 scripts), most of which I am not likely to use.  (Yes, I realize there are not 179 totally 
different
plugins/scripts - Resynthesizer accounts for 10 plugins by itself alone).
(Counted from list of files @ "http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/amd64/gimp-plugin-registry/filelist"; - 
having omitted to count various help/locale files)

No doubt in the future, I would want to see lists of the most useful scripts/plugins for given tasks, but 
even then, I would probably want
to install them separately.

[gmic does not seem to be present in 'gimp-plugin-registry', but does seem to be present separately in my 
repositories as 'gmic' and 'gimp-gmic']

For the moment, I just need 64-bit compatible Resynthesizer and Resynthesizer-gui files...

If all else falils, I suppose I must download the source and compile them.
https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer
should have what I would need, but it is not at all clear what source files and compile scripts would be 
needed, nor exactly how to download them...
