I didn't want anything to do with gmic in the past, and I don't really want now either. Looking at krita build system, it uses ExternalProject_Add( ext_gmic ...) inside 3rdparty/CMakeLists.txt as well as 3rdparty_plugins/ext_gmic/CMakeLists.txt to fetch something during cmake. It is unclear to me how either directory is being used from elsewhere inside the build system. That tells me that krita upstream is not really interested in having distributions package it for krita at all. To make that clear: any solution to build gmic as part of krita should be contributed to upstream krita before we will use it downstream. I am not going to carry patches forever to workaround upstream's appimage distribution bias. Interestingly enough, going to https://krita.org/en/download/krita-desktop/ they show Gentoo as distributing 5.0.2 - and make you download an appimage file for gmic. Thanks for the information. My hope was that the whole thing would have been relatively easy to implement. But unfortunately that's not the case. Does their gmic appimage do anything for you? (In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #4) > Does their gmic appimage do anything for you? That doesn't seem to exist anymore for the current version, the linked file doesn't exist. https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.0.2/gmic_krita_qt-x86_64.appimage -> 404 The requested URL was not found on this server. For the older version 4.4.8 there is a corresponding file: https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/4.4.8/gmic_krita_qt-x86_64.appimage But what works really good, is the complete image of Krita with GMIC. https://download.kde.org/stable/krita/5.0.2/krita-5.0.2-x86_64.appimage But I don't like this solution, I'm not a fan of appimage, snap & co... |
