Install the packages needed to compile programs: * sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libtool ruby 2. Install gimp dependencies: * sudo apt-get build-dep gimp 3. Install latest BABL and GEGL libs from source (these libs were not installed in step 2 as the gimp package in the repo is not depending on them) * svn co svn.gnome.org/svn/babl/trunk/ babl && svn co svn.gnome.org/svn/gegl/trunk/ gegl 3.1 Install BABL: * cd babl * ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5 * make (or "make -j 2" for multiple cores) * sudo make install * cd .. 3.2 Install GEGL: * export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib/pkgconfig * cd gegl * ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5 * make (or "make -j 2" for multiple cores) * sudo make install * cd .. 4. Make binaries, includes, libraries in /opt/gimp-2.5 available for use: * export PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/bin:$PATH && export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib && export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib/pkgconfig 5. Grab GIMP 2.5 tarball. * wget ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.5/gimp-2.5.2.tar.bz2 6. Extract and install latest GIMP: * tar jxvf gimp-2.5.2.tar.bz2 * cd gimp-2.5.2 * ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5 * make (or "make -j 2" for multiple cores) * sudo make install 7. Enjoy your GIMP by running: * /opt/gimp-2.5/bin/gimp-2.5 This works and runs on my ubuntu 8.04 using amd64 version and compiled for my dual core system!!! Woooo Hoooo!!! This is the whole compile so it should work on any ubuntu version. Ok, I found the correct script to compile and run the gimp 2.5.2 on my system:

You need to go to Applications -> Terminal to open a terminal window.

1. Install the packages needed to compile programs:

* sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libtool ruby

2. Install gimp dependencies:

* sudo apt-get build-dep gimp

3. Install latest BABL and GEGL libs from source (these libs were not installed in step 2 as the gimp package in the repo is not depending on them)

* svn co svn.gnome.org/svn/babl/trunk/ babl && svn co svn.gnome.org/svn/gegl/trunk/ gegl

3.1 Install BABL:

* cd babl
* ./autogen.sh –prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5
* make (or “make -j 2″ for multiple cores)
* sudo make install
* cd ..

3.2 Install GEGL:

* export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib/pkgconfig
* cd gegl
* ./autogen.sh –prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5
* make (or “make -j 2″ for multiple cores)
* sudo make install
* cd ..

4. Make binaries, includes, libraries in /opt/gimp-2.5 available for use:

* export PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/bin:$PATH && export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib && export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gimp-2.5/lib/pkgconfig

5. Grab GIMP 2.5 tarball.

* wget ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.5/gimp-2.5.2.tar.bz2

6. Extract and install latest GIMP:

* tar jxvf gimp-2.5.2.tar.bz2
* cd gimp-2.5.2
* ./configure –prefix=/opt/gimp-2.5
* make (or “make -j 2″ for multiple cores)
* sudo make install

7. Enjoy your GIMP by running:

* /opt/gimp-2.5/bin/gimp-2.5

This works and runs on my ubuntu 8.04 using amd64 version and compiled for my dual core system!!! Woooo Hoooo!!! This is the whole compile so it should work on any ubuntu version.

But as soon as I go anywhere beyond the first front page it crashes. So, a little work to be done yet.

Maybe the configure script is broken, or maybe the devs don't want that plugin built just yet. Not sure. But I've been trying to build the Gimp Help and install that into 2.5.2 because the Help supposedly looks a lot better now.

Maybe if I told some good jokes during the boring parts... I don't know any, so I must be a geek. Wait, that was a joke!

Ha, just kidding. It occurred to me that this entire session with the terminal window, building Gimp 2.5.x, would make an interesting video... and then we would see if all that stuff I said actually works or not.
