Cudos to the GTK/Gimp development folks...

[Jim Harmon <jharmon telecnnct com>]

As a slightly more familiar Newbie to GIMP/GTK, working on the fringe of
usership (Solaris 2.6), I wish to thank all of the developers who've
worked so hard to get this stuff to GTK 0.99.10/GIMP 0.99.24.

Of the versions I've built and installed on Solaris 2.6 so far, this has
been the easiest.

(To Owen:  --in the BASH shell-- I used "export CFLAGS="-O2"", then 
	   proceeded to use configure, gmake, and gmake install on GTK
	   and subsequently GIMP.  This time, no forced "-g"!)

To anyone else who's attempting to compile for Solaris, the ONLY
modification I made besides the "CFLAG" environment setting was to
change the following line in "/usr/graphics/gtk-config.in" before
compiling:


WAS:	
    --libs)
      echo -L${exec_prefix}/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib \
           -lgtk -lgdk -lglib -lXext -lX11 -lsocket -lnsl -lm
      ;;



TO:		(subs. your own GTK path for /usr/graphics )
    --libs)
      echo -L${exec_prefix}/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -R/usr/openwin/lib \
           -L/usr/graphics/gtk+-0.99.10/gtk/.libs \
           -R/usr/graphics/gtk+-0.99.10/gtk/.libs -lgtk \
	   -L/usr/graphics/gtk+-0.99.10/gdk/.libs \
           -R/usr/graphics/gtk+-0.99.10/gdk/.libs -lgdk \
           -L/usr/graphics/gtk+-0.99.10/glib/.libs \       
           -R/usr/graphics/gtk+-0.99.10/glib/.libs -lglib \
           -lXext -lX11 -lsocket -lnsl -lm
      ;;

(Remembering that "\" isn't there in the real file, and the entire list
of lib paths is/should be a single line...;)

This installation has been painless!

As far as I'm concerned, GIMP is ready for 1.0 on Sun!  ;)
