Hi Kevin,
I followed all your steps , at the last only I found there is no
configure file in gimp-1.2.4-tml-20020907-src package, could you tell
me where you got the configure fie or you could send me one you are using.
regards
Boney Jose

this together largely from memory and from looking back over my files,
as I don't have time to go through it all again to make certain that I
haven't left anything out. So, I could have easily omitted a few
necessary steps as well. In spite of any omissions or inaccuracies, I
hope that this may at least serve as a decent starting point for some
of you, and to help get you through some of the hurdles that I ran into.

spend on that at the moment anyway. If someone else wanted to try to
help make this process more automated like it really should be, that
would be great too!!!

those (gimp-print and web browser) were things that I didn't care
about anyway, since equivalent functionality (printing and web
browser) is provided under Windows by other means:

that from Windows. It should start up ok, but you will notice that
many features are missing from the menus.

D:\source\gimp-1.2.4\share\gimp\1.2\patterns. Point Palettes to
D:\source\gimp-1.2.4\share\gimp\1.2\palettes. Point gradients to
D:\source\gimp-1.2.4\share\gimp\1.2\gradients. Point plug-ins to
D:\source\gimp-1.2.4\lib\gimp\1.2\plug-ins. There may be a few
additional directory settings that would be appropriate, especially
for Modules and Generated Brushes, but I didn't know what to set those
to. I'd be curious to know if the tail end of the regular make script
that was never executed would have normally handled these things...?
I didn't have time to investigate.
