Re: Building the GIMP Under Windows

In response to a question from boneyjose regarding my previously posted instructions, following is one additional step that I failed to include which apparantly is also required, though I don't completely understand why.  Prior to running ./configure.kam as described in my previous instructions, please edit ./app/Makefile.in (and/or Makefile.am if you will be running automake).  Remove references to .libs/libgimpapp.a, as illustrated by the excerpt below from my modified copy of Makefile.am:

Hope this helps.

s/KAM

## Process this file with automake to produce Makefile.in

if OS_WIN32
gimp_exp = gimp.exp

gimp.exp : gimp.def
    dlltool --output-exp $@ --input-def gimp.def

# KAM add gimp.def to correct omission per email thread with Tor Lillqvist
gimp.def: gimp.sym
    echo EXPORTS >$@
    cat $< >>$@

mwindows = -mwindows

gimp_win32_resource = gimp-win32res.o

# KAM remove libgimpapp.a, not needed per email thread with Cameron Gregory
# noinst_DATA = .libs/libgimpapp.a
noinst_DATA = 

gimp.exe : gimp-1.2.exe
    mv gimp-1.2.exe $@

# KAM comment out, not needed per email thread with Cameron Gregory
# .libs/libgimpapp.a: gimp.exe
# cp libgimp.a $@
endif
