It appears as though the screen shot showed GIMP - how can we get GIMP for XTools?

The GIMP shown in the screen shot is running from a remote Linux machine. Without much problems, I should add. Same with emacs.
It should be possible though to port the GIMP to OSX.

I've been trying to get the Gimp to run, and here's what I've got so far. Since no one has binaries available for an OS X Gimp, I had to compile it myself. This is where some linux/bsd experience comes in handy...

Basically, I restored the development tools from the Darwin installer according to Ian Sammis' instructions.
http://www.macaddict.com/content/news/2000/09/13/18709

Then, since the Gimp relies on Glib and GTK+, those had to be compiled and installed
http://www.darwinfo.org/ports.shtml#Libraries

Once those were installed, I could then compile the Gimp from it's souce, available at www.gimp.org

Oh yeah, the Gimp's configure script would not run unless I specified host=powerpc-apple-machten

Maybe if people are interested, I could put up more detailed instructions on my web site...

As far as using the Gimp... It's not very stable in Xtools, and I'm not sure why. Drawing works fine, you can adjust color curves and such, but I have yet to get any of the filter plugins to work at all. They either crash Xtools or produce weird results.

Syrex314, I'm interested to get more info on doing this. I got glib installed but gtk+ gives this error

checking for X... no
configure: error:
*** X libraries or include files not found. Check 'config.log' for
*** more details.

Xtools is installed so I'm not sure what is wrong.

Well, I tried to install glib from the darwinfo site. I got this error upon compilation

make all-recursive
Making all in .
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=g_log_domain_glib -g -O2 -Wall -c giounix.c
cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -DG_LOG_DOMAIN=g_log_domain_glib -g -O2 -Wall -c giounix.c -o giounix.o
giounix.c:1301: bad macro argument list
make[2]: *** [giounix.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I'm using the Apple Dev CD For OSXPB, I didn't rip the tools from Darwin with the script....

If anyone out there knows, please spread the word...

To compile glib, you must grab the dev tools from the Darwin install image. I could be wrong if Apple went ahead and restored those tools on the PB CD they sent out to developers...

as for the config error, you have to tell the config script where to look for the x libraries and headers...

by the end of the day, i should have detailed instructions posted at http://syrex314.dhs.org/macosx.html

I can't get rid of the error when compiling glib.
The problem seems to be with giounix.c
This is with the devCD utilities...
Somebody has an answer ?
(doesn't work with what at http://syrex314.dhs.org/macosx.html)

help !

I have found that the Darwin toolset seems to work better with many existing X applications. I recieve the same error when using the tools of the Development CD. Download the Darwin disk image from Apple's site, and then use the script at http://www.macaddict.com/content/news/2000/09/13/18709

After the tools are installed, you should be able to compile glib without modification. However, the configuration script for gtk+ won't see the X11 libraries, so you will have to modify the configure script accordingly. This is discussed in detail on Syrex's page (see above posts). After gtk+ and glib are done, GIMP compiles just fine.

hi,

can't seem to get the glib to compile. I get these errors:
giounix.c -o giounix.o
giounix.c:36: warning: could not use precompiled header '/System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/Headers/bsd/unistd.p', because:
giounix.c:36: warning: macro '__GNUC_MINOR__' previously defined on command line for precomp does not match current command line definition
giounix.c:1301: bad macro argument list
make[2]: *** [giounix.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

any suggestions?
thanks

You should try this :
setenv CFLAGS -nocpp-traditional
Then compile the libs.
I've read this somewhere I can't remember, and it works for me so...

The question is : is the darwin dev-kit so different than the X one ?

I had trouble compiling glib at first because it could not find config.sub. I cp
/usr/libexec/config.* to the glib folder and it worked like a charm.

You can grab a precompiled version of glib from my server. All that is left to do is unzip, untar, become superuser, and then to runmake install.

Marius, could you also put a compiled version of GTK+ up?

It is up...


Point your browser at http://www.caos.aamu.edu/pub/MacOS_X/X/Libraries/Graphics/gtk+/. Caution: this is a BIG file (18.6 MB).

hey.

ok thanks for the help. I downloaded the precompiled glib and gtk then ran make install but now I tried to configure gimp and get this at the end:

checking for gtk-config... no
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found
*** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gtk-config.
configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

I'm new to all this and may have the answers right here but I'm not sure what to do. any more suggestions?

thanks again.

I/usr/local/include -DGIMPDIR=\"".gimp"\" -g -O2 -Wall -c gimpwire.c
gimpwire.c:26: warning: could not use precompiled header '/System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/Headers/bsd/unistd.p', because:
gimpwire.c:26: warning: macro '__GNUC_MINOR__' previously defined on command line for precomp does not match current command line definition
gimpwire.c:1295: bad macro argument list
gimpwire.c:1295: bad macro argument list
gimpwire.c:1295: bad macro argument list
make[2]: *** [gimpwire.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

I feel I'm closer now than ever. suggestions?

thanks again,

heya,

still no luck . =(

yes, a precompiled version of gimp that only requires a make install like the libs would be very nice, heh... thanks again.

Seems like a lot of trouble to get a 3rd rate graphics program half working. If time is money GIMP is surely the most expensive graphics program on the planet.
