GMic for Debian 11

Software G'MIC
1

I’m looking for a version 3 for debian 11 bullseye. I have found:

https://gmic.eu/download.html with a section for debian and a link for deb11, but then it takes me to: https://www.fosshub.com/GMIC.html?dwl=gmic_3.0.2_debian11_bullseye_amd64.deb

which doesn’t exist on that page.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Try the ‘latest dev’ version, the link should be OK.

Thanks but now I’m stuck. I don’t know what to do.

The situation is that I have darktable 3.8.1 installed with gmic 2.9.4-4 and libgmic1 2.9.4-4.

If I remove gmic 2.9.4-4, apt wants to delete gmic, libgmic1 AND darktable. I’d like to keep my darktable but update/upgrade gmic.

What do you suggest?

Thanks

You’d need to rebuild darktable against the new gmic library.

If it is just to get the latest version of the G’MIC-Qt plugin, it could be simpler to try compiling G’MIC-Qt directly : G'MIC - GREYC's Magic for Image Computing: A Full-Featured Open-Source Framework for Image Processing - Download

Or another idea : get the pre-compiled version of the plug-in only for Debian 11 :

https://gmic.eu/files/prerelease/gmic_gimp2.10_debian11_bullseye_amd64.zip

And just copy it to your GIMP plug-in folder.

Do I just install it on top of the existing 2.9.4-4? or should I 1st remove it before installing or compiling 3.1?

Thanks

I am coming from Windows but if I recall correctly GIMP should have a path section in preferences that points to the installation, or at the very least a location for plugins. Anyway, it shouldn’t not matter how many plugin versions there are. Sometimes I have multiple installed for testing purposes.

Thanks for the info
