Re: Can't Build the GIMP

OK folks, I made it a little bit further...

I had to copy pkg-config.exe to gnome-config.exe (apparantly there is still
somewhere within the pkg-config 0.13 source code that it is refering to
itself by the old gnome-config name), add the path to pkg-config.exe to my
search path (even though I had already specified the correct value for
PKG_CONFIG), and I finally figured out by trial and error how to correctly
specify the values in PKG_CONFIG_PATH (dos style paths with semi-colon
delimiters, even though I'm running under a MinGW shell).

Now the next problem seems to be that configure can't find libtiff.  My
tiff-3.5.7-lib directory is at the same level as my gimp-1.2.4 directory.
How do I tell configure where it should be looking to find libtiff?

Thanks,
s/KAM

  Subject: [gimpwin-dev] Can't Build the GIMP


  Hi folks,

  It's my first time trying to build the GIMP on my Win 2K box under MinGW,
and right away I'm running into problems that I don't know how to solve.
Please forgive my newbie questions.  I don't have a lot of knowledge
regarding gnu build tools and related stuff...

  From within my gimp-1.2.4 directory, I run ./configure .  That runs for a
while and spits out a bunch of messages to my console window that at least
generally seem reasonable for my setup.  But then it stops with the
following messages at the bottom:

  found xgettext program is not GNU xgettext; ignore it
  ./configure: ./po/POTFILES.in: No such file or directory
  mkdir: cannot create directory `intl': File exists
  checking for gtk+-1.3-win32-production >= 1.3.0... 'gnome-config' is not
recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.
  'gnome-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.
  Package gtk+-1.3-win32-production was not found in the pkg-config search
path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing
`gtk+-1.3-win32-production.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  No package 'gtk+-1.3-win32-production' found

  configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-1.3-win32-production >=
1.3.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.

  I attempted to solve this and a previous problem that I encountered by
setting the following environment variables prior to running ./configure :

  PKG_CONFIG=/d/source/pkgconfig-0.13/bin/pkg-config.exe

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/d/source/gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912/lib/pkgconfig:/d/source/gl
ib-dev-2.0.6-20020802/lib/pkgconfig:/d/source/gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904/l
ib/pkgconfig

  However, there is still a problem as you can see.  In case it matters,
there is a file named gtk+-1.3-win32-production.pc on my machine in the
following directory:

  D:\source\gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912\lib\pkgconfig

  Of course this is translated by the mSys shell to
/d/source/gtk+-dev-1.3.0-20020912/lib/pkgconfig, hence my use of that
variation in PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

  Can anyone tell me what the problem is here???

  Thanks!
