Re: [CinePaint] CinePaint update for Linux

You might want to give a try to your own compilation. After a clean
installation of Ubuntu Hardy the following packages are needed for
compilation:

automake build-essential gettext cvs

and these packages to satisfy the CinePaint's dependencies:

libgtk1.2-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev xlibs-static-dev libfltk1.1-dev
libxpm-dev ftgl-dev libopenexr-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxxf86vm-dev
libgutenprintui2-dev libgutenprint-dev liblcms1-dev

Then download the current version from CVS (password is empty - just hit
enter):
$ cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous-umaFjWZdy0gO46yPcjbmJ5G/[email protected]:/cvsroot/cinepaint
login

$ cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous-umaFjWZdy0gO46yPcjbmJ5G/[email protected]:/cvsroot/cinepaint co
-P cinepaint-project/cinepaint

(Instead of CVS version you could use some older version provided as a
tarball on cinepaint's web page.)

Change to the directory, generate configure scripts (running the
autogen.sh once generates an error in a later phase, running it twice
helps):
$ cd cinepaint-project/cinepaint
$ sh autogen.sh
$ sh autogen.sh

Configure with support of GTK 2, compile and install
$ ./configure --enable-gtk2 --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ sudo make install

Do not delete the directory with the source code, later, you might want
to remove this version from your system by running:
$ sudo make uninstall


I am currently trying to generate a DEB package for myself, the success
has only been partial so far.

One way is to create an RPM package and then convert it to DEB. The
problem is that CinePaint's "$ make rpm" fails on missing directory in
icc_examin plugin.

Another way is to use checkinstall - it fails several times on commands
that try to operate directly on files in destination install directory
(like "chmod 644" and "sh mkinstalldirs.sh"). However, after commenting
these out in the Makefiles the DEB package is created. (I have not
tested it yet.)

NB: I am not a programmer and neither a package maintainer, just trying
to keep my desktop machine clean (compile the necessary programs in a
virtualised environment and install them with the standard Ubuntu
package manager to my desktop).

Hope it helps,
Milan
