Introduction to GIMP

The Gimp package contains the GNU Image Manipulation Program. This is useful for photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

Optional (for Building Documentation from the Help Tarball)

• libXSLT
• DocBook XML
• ImageMagick (only needed to optimize PNG images)

Configuration Information

On a multi-processor machine, you may want to add this option to the ./configure script:

--enable-mp: Enables multi-processor support.

Also see man gimprc and read about the option num-processors.

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gimp-2.6.8 &&
install -v -m644 docs/{Wilber*,keybindings.txt,quick_reference.ps} /usr/share/doc/gimp-2.6.8

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}" USE_ARCH=32 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv /usr/bin/gimptool-2.0{,-32}

N32

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}" USE_ARCH=n32 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libdir=/usr/lib32 --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv /usr/bin/gimptool-2.0{,-n32}

64Bit

Compile the package:

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" \
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}" USE_ARCH=64 \
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libdir=/usr/lib64 --datadir=/usr/share &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv /usr/bin/gimptool-2.0{,-64}
ln -sfv multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/gimptool-2.0 &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gimp-2.6.8 &&
install -v -m644 docs/{Wilber*,keybindings.txt,quick_reference.ps} /usr/share/doc/gimp-2.6.8

On ppc64 there is an endian bug somewhere that causes the 64-bit version to demand insane amounts of memory. The 32-bit version works well there.

Short Descriptions

gimp: is a symbolic link to gimp-2.6.

gimp-2.6: is an image manipulation program. It works with a variety of image formats and provides a large selection of tools.

gimp-remote: is a symbolic link to gimp-remote-2.6.

gimp-remote-2.6: is a small utility that tells a running GIMP to open a local or remote image file.

gimptool-2.0: is a tool that can build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file. gimptool-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with.

libgimp-2.0.so: provides C bindings for GIMP's Procedural Database (PDB) which offers an interface to core functions and to functionality provided by plug-ins.

libgimpbase-2.0.so: provides the C functions for basic GIMP functionality such as determining enumeration data types, gettext translation, determining GIMP's version number and capabilities, handling data files and accessing the environment.

libgimpcolor-2.0.so: provides the C functions relating to RGB, HSV and CMYK colors as well as converting colors between different color models and performing adaptive supersampling on an area.

libgimpmath-2.0.so: contains C functions which provide mathematical definitions and macros, manipulate 3x3 transformation matrices, set up and manipulate vectors and the MD5 message-digest algorithm.

libgimpmodule-2.0.so: provides the C functions which implements module loading using GModule and keeps a list of GimpModule's found in a given searchpath.

libgimpthumb-2.0.so: provides the C functions for handling GIMP's thumbnail objects.

libgimpui-2.0.so: contains the GIMP common user interface functions.

libgimpwidgets-2.0.so: contains GIMP and GTK widget creation and manipulation functions.
