Unable to compile BIMP2 for Gimp 2.10.x? It throws up lots of warnings but no
errors. Possible reasons:

A mix of non-compatible dependencies.

Using the Gimp flatpak (or snap) This version is 'sandboxed' and installed dev
packages are not seen.

A quick demo (using ubuntu 18.10) might give a clue where the compile fails on
your installation.

Attached the BIMP2 binary from that. This does work in a (k)ubuntu 18.04 Worth a
try.

However, the previous BIMP 1.18 still works with Gimp 2.10.x

I agree about scripting, Scheme or Python, equally akin to Sanskrit for the
average Gimp user.
