Re: Can't Build the GIMP

Arrrggghhhh!!!!  Yet another new and different problem.  After everything in
the app subdirectory is compiled, make stops after issuing the following
message:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `gimp.def', needed by `gimp.exp'.  Stop

Any help appreciated.  I'm managing to get through this, slowly but
surely...
