I just compiled a GIMP for Mac OS X (Intel) for use without having X11

If you don't have X11, this is the GIMP prog for you.



Just install and report back here to say if it worked or not and if not, I will work hard to fix it.

System Requirements:
Intel Mac (NO HACKINTOSH UNTIL IT IS CONFIRMED)
Mac OS X Tiger and up
444mb Free Disk Space
Administrative Privileges


Download: Download Here

New install Directions :

1. Download the Package

2. Install the Package

3. Open disk utility and click repair permissions on your Mac HD

4. Run "Gimp.app"in your applications directory.


NOTE PLEASE READ!!!!

Please do a Time Machine Backup before installing this as this goes into your system files to disable X11 for GIMP. So that means, if you are running a hackintosh, you can't save your computer if it messes it up, sorry. If this does not work and screws up your system, I am terribly sorry, I must have made the installer wrong to may have overwritten some of your system files.

Note: Install at your own risk, I am not to be held responsible if the frameworks within this package overwrite your software.

Q. Why would this ruin my mac?
A. Because this installer installs system files and frameworks in the folder, "opt". Because I am not a professional at making packages, this may happen.

Q. What Languages are included?
A. Just english (that's what I am aware of)

Q. Is it themable?
A. Yes, I have included the themes, Nodoka, Small, and Default. Small and Default are not GUI dependent and have a classic style.

I will test it and post my results soon

Did it work?

Ok thank you very much Jiver i will test it inshaallah but what you need exactly to test or you want general test?.

Khaled

Just a general test, does it start up, is X11 there?

Hi

Whats it doing installing a GTK 2 library. Has some Genius got it reconfigured with Objective-c and Cocoa?

Did you test it?

@Slip: I dunno, this is ported from MacPorts.

First i can't download it but now i can let me see and i will go back wait me!

i have x11 in my Real mac and i will test it on it so if i must uninstall X11 from My Leopard First?.


Khaled

No, I have X11 and it works

Thank you for your hard work,Jiver.

i just have finished test of this App and when i go to open it i got this issue:-



but there isn't App called "Gimp" in my Applications Folder you see where it is here:-




there is a mistake i did right?.


Thank you,Jiver

Khaled

Ooops!

Must be the way I had made the installer, Ill make a new installer and see if this time a get it correct.

iPoco

OKay, Khaled, delete these folders/files in your root:

Local

LaunchDaemons

MacPorts

Gimp

BTW, thanks Khaled for that screenshot, it helped me identify the problem and fix it

New install Directions :

1. Download the Package

2. Install the Package

3. Open disk utility and click repair permissions on your Mac HD

4. Run "Gimp.app"in your applications directory.

ok no problem,Jiver it's a good job you did never mind.

i want to ask you about Native Gimp App i tried it and it's without X11,my question about what the difference between this App and your App you trying on it?.

Thank you,Jiver.


Khaled

The difference is that this one is re-built with python 2.5 enabled and X11 disabled. It comes with frameworks, and I have another way to update it.

Once I get this working, I will ask for an official forum so I can post updates when they are re-leased.

So basically, this is scripted with python and X11 is disabled.

(Ported From MacPorts)

But, if anyone knows how to make a shell script uninstaller, I could really use that.

Just incase.

BTW khaled, did you install Seashore? because that is not GIMP.

No,Jiver i installed Gimp (Native Version) with small problems too you can see here from my Computer:-



and Gimp's icon Native:-



you can get your copy from this site:-

http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/

anyway i will try your new Install and tell you what's happened.

and i know Seashore it's a good app too but not like gimp.

Khaled

Did my Build work?

Yes,Jiver your build WORKED .

Thank you very much for your try and this is a good thing you can make native App,hope to help you but i don't have a good background in Programming really .

Ok,jiver i tested Filters and Gradients there is some slow to do any effect but still excellent App.

if you need any help i will be here

Best Wishes for you.

Khaled

Yea!

I am looking for some PowerPC Users to Let me build it for PowerPC As well...

Also, can We see a screenshot of you running it? With your dock? Just want to know if that terminal program is running for you like it is for mine.

This is a GUI Beta Update, I am trying to get the Aqua theme on there working.

khaled, I am not experiencing any slowness. Usually only on the first run it is slow.

I ask you all to disable keyboard shortcuts for all your tools by Selecting Each one as "Shift-Control-Z" and clicking "Reassign Shortcut" until there is one left.


:::What's new in this GUI Update?:::
1. Fixed the Progress Bar animation to when you first open "The GIMP"
2. Fixed some GUI issues and added an easy update feature that allows me to distribute update pacakges.
3. Got closer to adding an Aqua theme.
