GIMP-from-git snap

This project is a work in progress to build GIMP (and its dependencies) from the git repositories.

Configured to build with:

  • GEGL from git
  • libmypaint for MyPaint brushes
  • GMIC from the Ubuntu repositories

Current State

Thanks for dholbach and the new Snappy Sandpit!

Changed the approach to snapcrafting from source, from static binaries to dynamic binaries, using the install-via: prefix property for the autotools plug-in. Build seems to be going much better, but running into an issue I've had before. A module in GEGL for n-point deformation segfaults very consistently on Ubuntu (in my experience). I don't know why it work sometimes and not others. Error output as follows:
