Optional, for building the help system dblatex (for PDF docs), pngnq and pngcrush to optimize the png files, but see the note on the help download above User Notes: Installation of Gimp Install Gimp by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make To test the results (requires an X-Windowed terminal) issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install Installation of Gimp-Help The gimp-help tarball contains images and English text help for help files, together with translations. Because of the issues mentioned in the note above, you are recommended to use the online help, either by building against so that 'help' can open the latest XML files in your browser, or else you can manually open the html in your browser by going to https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en (change the language code if desired). If you nevertheless wish to install local copies of the help files to read offline, unpack the gimp-help tarball and change into the root of the newly created source tree. Prepare for the build with the following command: ALL_LINGUAS="ca da de el en en_GB es fi fr it ja ko nl nn pt_BR ro ru zh_CN" \ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr Remove from ALL_LINGUAS the codes for any languages which you do not wish to install. Alternatively, remove the line starting with ALL_LINGUAS, if you wish to build all languages. Now build the help files: make Issue the following commands as the root user to install the help files: make install && chown -R root:root /usr/share/gimp/2.0/help Command Explanations ALL_LINGUAS="ca da de el en en_GB ...": by default, the help files will be rendered in all the available languages. Remove the codes of any languages you do not wish to build. : This option is necessary if you have not installed PyGTK.
