Gimp 2.6 for Mac?

[MattSomethin]

I'm just downloading it, I too will post any problems. Will it eventually be bug free?

Edit: 2.6 isnt opening on my computer, but my old 2.4 version is? any help? thanks!

lisanet, would you mind sharing the macports files you built? that would save me time

@ Auria
Of course I will share them.
I've recently made a whole build environment for Gimp/MacPorts. The current 2.6.0 build uses various (12) patched Portfiles. This way I got rid off some MacPorts erros (the really annoying "p5-getopt-long" bug... ) and could reduce the packages which need to be build. I still need some time to write some docs about all the scripts I'm using to manage this....

@The Albino1
I hope it will ....
Currently there are only some really, really minor things, that have to be, let's say, checked and tested. IMO, I will release a "bugfree" (meaning: as far as possible bugfree integration into OS X) Gimp bundle. Please continue testing and posting....

@Albino1
hhmmm...
... try this:
go to /tmp/skl and delete Gimp.app by doing:

Code: Select all

rm /tmp/skl/Gimp.app


and relaunch Gimp 2.6.0

i cant find those files?

[lisanet]

is there any error shown, if you launch Gimp in Terminal.app?

open Terminal.app and cd to your "...Gimp.app/Contents/Resources" and do "./script".

Are there any errors? Can you post the output?

[MattSomethin]

im not very 'computer programing smart' and dont udnerstand how to do this. when i rty to open it, it shows up on my dock, x11 opens, and the gimp logo goes away.

[Auria]

The Albino1: launch Gimp from the terminal as described in a sticky topic on these boards (unless Simone's build are so different from ours it doesn't apply, but i wouldn't think so)

[MattSomethin]

how to i launch it in terminal, terminal is open
and i dont know how to open programs in it

[lisanet]

puuh,

let's try it:

(I'm german, so I'm not quiet sure if all paths, directories ... are correct)

- start "Terminal" (usually in "Application/Utilities"
- asuming you've downloaded Gimp to "/Applications" type:

Code: Select all

cd /Application/Gimp-260*/C*/R*
./script


Are there any errors? What's the output in Terminal.app?

[MattSomethin]

wow im sorry, im still not getting this, i have terminal open, but im not sure. when i put cd /Application/Gimp-260*/C*/R*
./script into terminal, it said no such file or directory was found.

[lisanet]

hhmmm, oops,

it should be

Code: Select all

cd /Applications/Gimp-260*/C*/R*


[MattSomethin]

i put cd /Applications/Gimp-260*/C*/R* into the terminal box that pops up when opened, and it said no such file or directory.

[MattSomethin]

alright i just redownloaded, and it opens, realized it wouldnt open because i renamed the file.

[lisanet]

ok, last try...

If you've downloaded the *.dmg from my site, the app in the *.dmg is named "Gimp-260rc1". Then, if you installed this app into "/Applications", a "cd /Applications/Gimp-260*/C*/R*" should work. Yep.
