Arch Linux User Repository

Note: If you want to have both gimp-git and stock gimp installed, there's a non-conflicting version of this package called gimp-develop-git

This package is also hosted on GitHub.

• Please report issues and patches to gimp-git*github.com

• Travis CI Status: <img alt="Build Status" src="https://travis-ci.org/bartoszek/AUR-gimp-git.svg?branch=master" />

Use env vars to control build process:

• DISABLE_MESON=1 to build with Autotools build system (disabled by default)
• MAKEFLAGS="xxx" to override default make flags.

Usage cases:

• makepkg DISABLE_MESON=1
• yay -S gimp-git --mflags "DISABLE_MESON=1"

Disclaimer: Package uses Travis to automatically update version of dependencies. Script executes once a day, so please wait a day before reporting dependencies version mismatch, thanks!

@bartus For other users, please remove these unnecessary tests from PKBUILD. gimp-git builds fine without these tests.

As Jehan (Gimp developer) said, it's specific Arch Aur issue. I disabled tests this way in PKGBUILD to solve it

pkgver() {
# shellcheck disable=SC2183,SC2046
#
#check() {
#  if ((DISABLE_MESON)); then
#    cd $_pkgname
#    xvfb-run make check
#   xvfb-run make distcheck
#  else
#    ninja -C "${srcdir}/build" test
#  fi

@electricprism: Meson was disabled in 30b4a0f0f7f6

@electricprism: to pass --nocheck to yay use `yay --mflags "--nocheck" it's described in manual.

@maderios: those are rare issues caused by commits not containing all the relevant changes, usually are fixed within hours a day max.

@foobaz: That's weird, can't see any reference to /etc/gimp in my build logs. Are you sure it's correct?

@maderios: I can't really fix those errors for you, perhaps could add a mask for UI tests in check() but it's beside the point as you will probably defer using --nocheck flag to skip those.

I'm not really sure how to disable tests to get to compile. Does it require a -- nocheck flag on pkgbuild ??? I've tried yay -S gimp-git --mflags "DISABLE_MESON=1" but it fails the same as building regularly.

I read the bug report listed below and it was difficult to decipher if there was any useful workaround information there.

I doesn't build with tests, i had to disable them in PKGBUILD to get build successfully. These tests are useless. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/7177 for more details

I get new error. I reported here
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/7177

Build fails with Meson too

@melvyn2: automake & autoconf are a part of the base-devel group alongside patch,make,gcc.., which is a prerequisite listed in AUR Guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started

Explicitly naming them in makedepends would be redundant here.

autoconf and automake are required makedeps but are missing from this pkgbuild.
