@tiko It's a great idea and I'd be happy to do that in general! I coincidentally tried out the latest VGC Illustration alpha a few days ago though and it's still very bare-bones, so my thinking would be to give it a few more weeks/months until there's some more tools in the interface to work with - right now you can't really do much with it. Hope that makes sense :) Feel free to ping me about this again if you hear of any substantial updates!

can you add https://github.com/vgc/vgc to aur ? it's Next-Gen vpaint

Sounds awesome! Thank you very much indeed!

Fix for the broken build configuration was commited upstream yesterday. As releases for VPaint are few and far between it will be a while for the fix to be included in a proper tagged release (if ever, given that VGC Illustration might entirely replace it), therefore I adapted the PKGBUILD to manually apply the small patch before building (that's 1.7-2 now). This patch step can be removed with any following official release again. Many thanks to Boris Dalstein for a quick fix on the upstream and @Tio for reporting this. o/

Awesome!

@Tio I tracked down the issue today and conceived a possible fix, it's already submitted to the upstream repository: https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint/pull/134 Might take some time, but I'll keep you posted here when I receive news.

@simonrepp Thank you very much for the update. I appreciate it!

@Tio Just to provide an update: I did some initial investigation and didn't get anywhere yet. I stripped the build steps down to exactly what is listed in VPaint's readme (for ubuntu, but anyway) but that didn't change anything. I also can't make heads or tails of the provided ld error yet despite some research. Will give investigating this another shot soon. Thanks for reporting this!

I get this error
