Bug 51263 – Enable SVG in gimp

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pol 2004-05-17 02:57:20 UTC]

To enable svg in Gimp, you must add the librsvg library as dep. and the ebuild do not include it.

[Comment 1 foser (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 10:39:17 UTC]

yes.. well .. not really if you want to do it neatly. We want a working configure switch, not autodetection.

[Comment 2 Pol 2004-05-31 10:51:49 UTC]

./configure do not detect libsvg that's it does not build the svg in gimp.

[Comment 3 foser (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 11:03:26 UTC]

thats the point, we don't want autodetection (like you describe) -> we want a hardcoded switch.

[Comment 4 Pol 2004-05-31 11:31:19 UTC]

and that must be done by the gimp team ??

[Comment 5 Joe McCann (RETIRED) 2004-05-31 11:38:36 UTC]

It can be done by anybody, just write a small patch that enables a switch.

[Comment 6 Henrik Brix Andersen 2004-09-05 04:34:50 UTC]

gimp-2.0.4.ebuild contains:

  svg? ( >=gnome-base/librsvg-2.2 )

Suggest closing this as FIXED.

[Comment 7 foser (RETIRED) 2004-09-05 04:58:01 UTC]

there is still no configure switch, thats what this is about..

[Comment 8 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-05-10 13:30:41 UTC]

added a small patch to my 2.2.7 package, will be testing it shortly.

[Comment 9 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) 2005-05-23 18:12:30 UTC]

I'm closing 9 bugs at once, since these bugs should be fixed in my 2.2.7 ebuild
of the gimp.  ( just committed to the unstable tree ) If you find that your bug
was not fixed in the 2.2.7 ebuild, please open a new bug with what it is or is
not still doing.

Thanks for the attachments and comment, they helped!
