(doing the non-shared option takes >over 120megs to build).... Ah. You have refreshed my memory. I have correctly built GIMP 0.99.9 on my 2.2-ALPHA system, using non-shared libraries. It's big, it's fat, it works beautifully (and the GIMP is mostly worth it). IIRC, it takes more than 120 megs to build. There are tricks you can use to minimize use (#1-- when you run out of disk space, strip all of the plug-ins). Unfortunately, the shared library stuff seems to not understand the BSD shared lib model. This appears to be the fault of one of the config sub-tools (can't remember the name at the moment, IIRC it's libconfig). If someone groks GNU configure (esp. libconfig) and wants to put a port together (or better yet send patches to the gimp team) that would be good. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that, although I can state that the non-shared version works great. >atk -- bryan k. ogawa <bkogawa@primenet.com> <bkogawa@netvoyage.net>
