i still should think out how to handle gimp1/2 plug-ins.

Comment 2 Alex Boag-Munroe 2006-02-05 11:54:59 UTC

I just took a look at this plugin.

Whoever decides to try and make an ebuild out of this, be warned:

It has zero autotools involvement, the Makefile may as well be a shell script (it launches gimptool to build and put the plugin files into the plug-ins folder) and it contains some horrible C code that just errors out with gcc4.

In my opinion the plugin needs almost a complete rewrite.  Over my head I'm afraid.
