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.
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!

Getting an error when building, not sure if it's an upstream bug. Here are the last few lines:

@Derson5: Yep (-‸ლ) there's a bug with meson>=0.57 I'll defer to use autotools until it's fixed ( #6447 )

Compiles successfully. To give alternative to Meson is a good choice. Thanks!

@haawda : Thanks; I've glued this part form community/gimp and forgot to extend escape ( can't figure out how this get through extra-x86_64-build which I swear I've tested it with. )

A \ is missing at the end of line 84.

bartus commented on 2021-02-14 10:53 (UTC)

@maderios: Just for you lad, I've bodged up an autotools/meson alternating PKGBUILD based on blender-develop-git (it's ʊɢʟʏ ǟֆ ʄʊƈӄ but seems to work)

Could you perhaps took it for a test (use: makepkg DISABLE_MESON=1 )

maderios commented on 2021-02-13 17:21 (UTC)

It's clear: "Note: if building from repository (not tarballs), you may notice a meson build system is also available in the repository. It is not the main build system and is not recommended for stable packages as it still has several known issues, including build flag errors leading to crashes and missing features. We only invite contributors to use the meson build if they wish to help with debugging" https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/blob/master/INSTALL.in

bartus commented on 2021-02-12 13:54 (UTC) (edited on 2021-02-12 13:55 (UTC) by bartus)

@maderios: Yep, meson is tagged as "experimental" but it's a part of CI pipeline on gimp/gitlab and as for now it passes build fine. Perhaps you should consider reporting this on gimp/gnome issue tracker.
