My purpose here is to get gimp-perl running on Debian Stretch.
Stretch's version of GIMP is 2.8.18, and that's what I've compiled
against.
root@debian9compiler:~# dpkg -l gimp* | grep ^ii
ii gimp 2.8.18-1+deb9u1 amd64 GNU Image
Manipulation Program
ii gimp-data 2.8.18-1+deb9u1 all Data files for GIMP
root@debian9compiler:/usr/src/gimp-perl# dpkg -l "*gegl*" | grep ^ii
ii libgegl-0.3-0:amd64 0.3.8-4 amd64 Generic Graphics Library
Debian Jessie and Stretch both feature versions of gimp 2.8
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gimp - Version 2.8.14
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/gimp - Version 2.8.18
They both depend on libbabl and libgegl.
I suppose there might be a compile switch I can switch off to turn off
GEGL during the gimp build (I'm not currently compiling GIMP from
source as my aim is to provide gimp-perl for the current Debian
Stretch, but I could try if that would be constructive/useful). Any
other suggestions. I'm certainly already using 2.8 at the moment.
Cheers,
Ben
