gimp 2.8

i can't find gimp 2.8 in the repository

It seems to be not available into Slackware 13.37 repositories. This version of GIMP is too recent for Slackware 13.37. You should give a try to Porteus 2.0 as it seems that GIMP is available there.

As Release Candidate, this release of Porteus is considered as unstable for not for Production uses. I recommend to not posts modules built on this version of Porteus until it has been considered as stable and placed into final status. You can also build your own GIMP module on Porteus 2.0 RC1 with these steps.

Clean slacky pkgs

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /var/slacky/*.txz

Make temporary directory

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /tmp/gimp-2

Downloads gimp

Code: Select all

slackyd -g gimp

Install gimp on your current system

Code: Select all

installpkg /var/slackyd/*.txz

Search for gimp dependencies

Code: Select all

slackyd -fd gimp

Install them into the temporary directory

Code: Select all

installpkg -root /tmp/gimp-2 /var/slackyd/*.txz

Make the xzm module (Replace X.X by versions numbers)

Code: Select all

dir2xzm /tmp/gimp-2 /tmp/gimp-2.X.X-x86_64-1.xzm

Optionally, remove unnecessary files

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /tmp/gimp-2 /var/slackyd/*.txz

The final xzm module would be put under /tmp/gimp-2.X.X-x86_64-1.xzm
