For building software, many distros which are primarily binary split
packages into parts, I think that earlier you mentioned something
about libbabl, you will also need the headers and pkgconfig file. I
recall that debian has something like 'build-essentials' for basic
compilation, I guess you already have that to get past the basics in
configure.
If your installed version of libbabl is adequate, look for the
corresponding package(s) - perhaps named babl-dev in debian.
If your installed version is too old, and you are unable to use a
newer packaged version from a different debian flavour, you will
need to put both it and the subsequent packages in a different
prefix, and put that at the front of your PATH and of your
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
As has already been said, Building in /dev/shm is bizarre - you
don't need shared memory for the install (or for the build, except
to the extent that e.g. python2 might use it - and you don't need to
specify its use). And wherever non-standard you build, you may need
to add it to /etc/ld.so.conf so that the libraries can be found.
Normally, for someone using systemd I would point to the systemd
book of beyond linuxfromscratch.org (I have involvement with some
parts of that), but you would need the latest version of the
development book for current gimp-2.10, and that can be described as
'may be broken in places' - probably not relevant here, the known
problems are with our move to python-3.10.
Given your apparent lack of recent experience compiling linux
userspace software, I think that the BLFS instructions will be too
hard for you and you should try a different approach. If you
nevertheless want to try a build based on those instructions, you
need to be aware of the following:
· in BLFS we don't install parts of a package (separate libs,
headers), so we expect people to have all of a package.
· we don't specify minimum versions, we only specify our current
versions - often, an earlier version may work fine (e.g. for
gimp, check the pkgconfig tests such as that re babl to see the
minimum version.
· for BLFS, 'required' packages are essential, 'recommended'
packages can mostly only be removed if you change the
instructions.
· for BLFS gimp, gvfs is much simpler than the (not necessarily up
to date) separate help file. I assume, if you continue on the
'build it myself' approach, that you can check the required
version in configure and then find a suitable version in debian.
· Oh, and the development BLFS books (sysv, systemd) WILL change
under you, so best to download an html tarball to browse. As I
said, I don't think this is an appropriate path for you to take at
this moment, but we learn by stretching our skills (and banging
our heads against the wall or thumping the keyboard when things
go wrong). But the learning progress is often slow, and causes a
lot of pain and a need to revise current understanding of some
things (got some of that myself in blfs at the moment).
Finally, top-posting on mailing lists is tedious and adds a lot of
old junk to the network traffic.
