Gimp-2.10.32
Introduction to Gimp
The Gimp package contains the GNU
Image Manipulation Program which is useful for photo retouching,
image composition and image authoring.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3
platform.

Note
Updating the help files is still a work in progress, with large
parts of the text for many languages not yet translated. The file
below is a git snapshot.
Gimp Dependencies
Required
gegl-0.4.40, gexiv2-0.14.0,
glib-networking-2.74.0, GTK+-2.24.33,
HarfBuzz-7.0.0. libjpeg-turbo-2.1.5.1, libmypaint-1.6.1, librsvg-2.54.5, libtiff-4.5.0,
libxml2-2.10.3
python2 module (to build the translated help files), Little
CMS-2.14, mypaint-brushes-1.3.1, Poppler-23.02.0 (including poppler-data) and
a graphical
environment
Recommended
dbus-glib-0.112, ghostscript-10.00.0 (with libgs
installed), ISO Codes-4.12.0, libgudev-237,
PyGTK-2.24.0 (including the gtk, pango and
pangocairo modules) and xdg-utils-1.1.3
Optional
AAlib-1.4rc5, alsa-lib-1.2.8, Gvfs-1.50.3 (to access
the online help), libmng-2.0.3, libunwind-1.6.2, libwebp-1.3.0,
OpenJPEG-2.5.0, an MTA (that provides
a sendmail program),
GTK-Doc-1.33.2, appstream-glib,
libbacktrace,
libheif with libde265
(both needed to read macOS heic images), libwmf, and
OpenEXR
When you have run configure, you will see that WebKit is not found
- that dependency is for the legacy webkit-1.0 which should never
be used on a modern system exposed to the internet.
Optional, for building the help system
dblatex (for PDF docs),
pngnq
and pngcrush to optimize
the png files, but see the note on the help download above

Installation of Gimp
Install Gimp by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make
To test the results (requires an X-Windowed terminal) issue:
make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Note
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor hierarchy and desktop
files into the /usr/share/applications hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.33 or
GTK+-3.24.36 installed (for the icon cache)
and desktop-file-utils-0.26 (for
the desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the
root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor &&
update-desktop-database -q
Installation of Gimp-Help
The gimp-help tarball contains images
and English text help for help files, together with translations.
Because of the issues mentioned in the note above, you are
recommended to use the online help, either by building against
Gvfs-1.50.3 so that 'help' can open the latest
XML files in your browser, or else you can manually open the html
in your browser by going to https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en
(change the language code if desired).
If you nevertheless wish to install local copies of the help files
to read offline, unpack the gimp-help
tarball and change into the root of the newly created source tree.
Prepare for the build with the following command:
ALL_LINGUAS="ca da de el en en_GB es fi fr it ja ko nn pt_BR ro ru zh_CN" \
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
Remove from ALL_LINGUAS the codes for
any languages which you do not wish to install. Alternatively,
remove the line starting with ALL_LINGUAS, if you wish to build all languages.
Now build the help files:
make
Issue the following commands as the root user to install the help files:
make install &&
chown -R root:root /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help
Command Explanations
ALL_LINGUAS="ca da de el en en_GB ...":
by default, the help files will be rendered in all the available
languages. Remove the codes of any languages you do not wish to
build.
--disable-python: This option is
necessary if you have not installed PyGTK.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild and install the API documentation.
