https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/commit/?id=d01ba07ed62eeccd237ffc560573d15c27e7efb1 As of that commit, gimp-9999 now requires media-gfx/mypaint Reproducible: Always
I was wrong, its not media-gfx/mypaint, it seems to want some -gegl version of mypaint: checking for LIBMYPAINTGEGL... no configure: error: Package requirements (libmypaint-gegl >= 1.1) were not met: No package 'libmypaint-gegl' found
Suggestion I got: su -c 'scons enable_gegl=yes use_sharedlib=yes enable_introspection=no prefix=/opt install' then move the *.so files in brushlib to /opt/lib and the *.pc files to /opt/lib/pkgconfig. Then it compiles. "I built that and mypaint worked, but I did not get the libmypaint-gegl thing, so I built from git. I got a working libmypaint-gegl, but mypaint does not work... Heh! It does not seem to like me adding my own prefix... It's a moving target right now, and will get sorted." Working mypaint or not, it would be nice if gimp-9999 compiled again.
Closing as invalid because libmypaint is actually a separate code base. See bug 569548.
