Hi Jernej, Jernej Simon?i? wrote: Not sure about what kind of proprietary scripts are you talking about - the installer scripts were always available... I'm glad you joined the thread, because there's one question that hasn't been answered yet. Would you like to have your installer's problems tracked in bugzilla? Or would you prefer us to refer the bug reporters to your page? If so, where should we send them?

After all there don't seem to be many people able to build GIMP from source on win32. Once you have the mingw+MSys environment set up, building Gimp is just ./configure --prefix=somewhere make. Getting GTK+ to compile is more challenging though (but I use precompiled GTK packages provided by Tor for now). Right now, building the installer involves make install, then running the install script from the top install directory. Since the install builder has a command-line compiler, this could be automated, too... -- begin .sig Jernej Simoncic http://deepthought.ena.si/ She who is silent consents. -- Italian Proverb end ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
