can't compile refocus for macports gimp

[komiapoika]

Hello

On my Kubuntu pc, to get refocus and other great plugins, one just has to apt-get install gimp-registry. However, no such package on Macports.

So, I need the refocus plugin. When I try to compile version 0.9, I get: checking for GIMP - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The gimptool script installed by GIMP could not be found
*** If GIMP was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GIMPTOOL environment variable to the
*** full path to gimptool.
at configure and then:

$ make install-bin
cd src; make install-bin

(and it goes on like this)

at build.

When I try to compile refocus-it 2.0, configure works, but then at make I get:

Making all in gimp-plugin

make[2]: *** [main-gimp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

So, how can I install all of registry plugins on macports or that one in particular?

Thanks in advance for any help

[Auria]

For the first one, the error message says it :

*** The gimptool script installed by GIMP could not be found
*** If GIMP was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GIMPTOOL environment variable to the
*** full path to gimptool.

try

Code: Select all

export GIMPTOOL=/opt/local/bin/gimp-tool #adapt path as needed

For the second, it seems like an error in the code, try contacting the author of the plugin to at least know what's missing

[komiapoika]

Okay here we go. Trying to compile refocus 0.9 I just upgraded my error to:

any clue?

For this one you'll probably need to contact the author of the plug-in, it seems like a problem in the code to me (missing include if you know what it means) I see no error directly linked to the environment

[komiapoika]

that plugin (2.0) has been abandoned for over a year now... and the 0.9 one is a plugin for Gimp 1.x anyway.

But I'm ready to look for other solutions, so I'll just ask ... Is there any way to make iterative refocus on MacGimp or on Mac at all? (without Photoshop, that is). I *need* a refocus tool on my Macbook. If possible able to work on 16-bit images.

[Auria]

I was able to build the 2.0 version on my computer

I just needed to add this to the configure part :

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-plugin LDFLAGS=-lintl

and the rest is like what is described in viewtopic.php?f=17&t=777&p=7250#p7250 (just adapt path as needed if your gimp install is in /opt/local and not /tmp/skl like us packagers)

[komiapoika]

ok when i try your exact same line i get:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

at configure.

when I follow the guide from the other thread, I get the same error:

./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-plugin
...
make:

if gcc -DLOCALEDIR=\"/opt/gimp-plugin/share/locale\" -DDATADIR=\""/opt/gimp-plugin/share/"\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../gimp_plugin -I../src -DXTHREADS -I/opt/local/include/gimp-2.0 -I/opt/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/opt/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/gtk-2.0 -I/opt/local/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/opt/local/include/atk-1.0 -I/opt/local/include/cairo -I/opt/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/opt/local/include/freetype2 -I/opt/local/include/libpng12 -I/usr/X11/include -I/opt/local/include/pixman-1 -g -O2 -Wall -MT main-gimp.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/main-gimp.Tpo" \

Note that my gimp runs from /opt/local/bin, it's the version built from macports, the only one that supports the other plugins I need (I also noticed my prebuild Gimp crashes when I try to open a file since I built Gimp from source over it, so it's no longer usable at all)

My other plugins are built at the user level and end up in ~/.gimp-2.4/plug-ins. I don't mind that, since I'm the only user on the machine so far.

[komiapoika]

ps: the Gimp I use is in /opt/local/bin:

ls /opt/local/bin/gimp*
/opt/local/bin/gimp /opt/local/bin/gimp-console-2.4 /opt/local/bin/gimptool
/opt/local/bin/gimp-2.4 /opt/local/bin/gimp-remote /opt/local/bin/gimptool-2.0
/opt/local/bin/gimp-console /opt/local/bin/gimp-remote-2.4

I still got the binary Gimp.app in /Applications and that's about it... no gimp-plugin dir, no remaining source...

[Auria]

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Now this is very weird, that's the kind of message you may get when gcc is not installed...

if you export PATH, make sure it is of the form export PATH=$PATH:... as to not override previous values in PATH

otherwise, you'd need to check the configure log generated in the same directory to know what went wrong

here's my config.log with that error:

[Auria]

Ah, I see, it happens because it does not find libintl

Try something like this :

./configure --prefix=/opt/local/gimp-plugin LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib -lintl"

(that's assuming gettext was installed with macports. but if you have gimp installed gettext will very likely be installed too)

[komiapoika]

I do have gettext installed from macports.

./configure --prefix=/opt/local/gimp-plugin LDFLAGS="-L /opt/local/lib -lintl"

still gives the same error, should I repost the config.log?

[Auria]

What is important to check, is whether config.log still says "ld: library not found for -lintl" somewhere

The line you used is not exatly the one I posted, I don't think there is a space after -L

In the worst case, you could build and install gettext from source manually in /usr/local. But really passing the path to configurue should make it.

Perhaps you can also pass an absolute path :
./configure --prefix=/opt/local/gimp-plugin LDFLAGS="-l/opt/local/lib/intl.a" (by adapting library name as needed to match that of a real file)

yes, the config.log still says:

configure:2170: gcc -L /opt/local/lib -lintl conftest.c >&5
ld: library not found for -lintl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:2173: $? = 1

I just deinstalled and reinstalled gettext gettext 0.17_3 from macports. There's like two dozens of dependencies on my system, amongst which Gimp. If I build gettext from source will it break any of them?

I don't have any intl.a file on my system even tho I do have intltool port active... Oh wait it's called libintl.a, let me try

I get the same error:

configure:2170: gcc -l /opt/local/lib/libintl.a conftest.c >&5
ld: library not found for -l/opt/local/lib/libintl.a
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:2173: $? = 1

Even tho I typed:

./configure --prefix=/opt/local/gimp-plugin LDFLAGS="-l /opt/local/lib/libintl.a"

and the file exists:

$ ls /opt/local/lib/libintl.a
/opt/local/lib/libintl.a

Why do so bad things happen to me when everyone else seems to be able to compile easily??

It's very weird that it says the file doesn't exist while it does :/ I never saw this problem
(EDIT: ah no it is not, I just understood: it doesn't find the file cause it searches for a file named '-l/opt/local/lib/libintl.a' with '-l' as part of the filename. remove the '-l' when you specify the full path)

But you are still putting a space between -L/-l and the argument. As I said I'm pretty sure there is none. like -L/opt/local/lib (no space). Also when you specify the full path to a library, I don't believe you need the -l flag, just the name of the lib alone should do

Building and installing gettext from source is very unlikely to break anything on your system or any existing installation
