well, what the title says, i sadly still use an old 32-bit PC and no matter what i try, g’mic refuse to work on gimp 2.10 which is really frustrating as it works perfectly on gimp 2.8
the result is always the same, i’m told that G’Mic cannot start because “libgomp-1.dll is missing from my computer”
installing gimp 2.10 automaticaly uninstalled gimp 2.8 so i’m pretty annoyed about this, what can i do to fix this? should i go back to gimp 2.8 once again? what are the advantages of gimp 2.10 over gimp 2.8 anyway?
after trying to install g’mic using the .zip again rather than the executable .exe it seems to have been succesfully installed, i don’t know what i did wrong the first time but it’s working now
The G’MIC plug-in, compiled for GIMP 2.8 won’t work for GIMP 2.10 in any case (even if you fix the .dll issue), because the plug-in API has changed between these two major versions in GIMP.
I have personally gave up the idea of compiling G’MIC for 32bits systems, it was a bit cumbersome and very few are still using such systems.
So, unfortunately, the solution seems to be to recompile the plug-in by yourself, or find someone able to do so. I think Sylvie Alexandre ,aka @samj provides some binaries of GIMP and G’MIC for Win 32bits, at : https://samjcreations.blogspot.com/
