Re: Building the GIMP

My thoughts are if you have been succesful in building gimp, could
you please share your make file with us poor guys that cant figure
out what the heck is going on? If someone gets a working copy out
of the source, please share and if you could document what you did,
what compiler you used and any special things that had to be done
to get it to build would make you a hero to those of us that have
been trying for ages to get a working build.

Every time I fool with mingw I have fudge around with it for hours,
days and sometimes weeks to get it to make a working executable on
some ports of things.

Thank you in advance for any who are reading and want to contribute
to the development of gimp! You may never know, maybe some of us
that have had a heck of a time trying to get a build may have some
neat tricks up our sleeves to do something that will knock the
socks off of a product like Photoshop, and then we could share it
with you :D
