The different links for ubuntu 20.04 are going to a 404 page or give a previous version, no worries I understand very well that I’m a dinosaur and you cannot maintain old distro version.
I’m very slowly transferring to latest MX Linux, I never was a distro hopper, so it takes time for me to arrange, catalog, etc… all my drive before the switch
No I cannot use anything from 3.4.1 as I’m on 3.4.0 (I like the split view though on 3.4.1 as shown on your link)
Anyway, G’MIC for ubuntu 20.04 is going to phase out if not done yet (BTW so many thanks to the team to have maintain it up to now for Ubuntu 20.04, so nice and kind of you all), and I can’t see myself holding you all back asking if you can put a *buntu 20.04 compatible, I mean I might be the last of the last to use this distro version
Thus I would like to compile it, and would like to know if the instruction on the website are up to date, like that I can start to learn to do it
I do not have a machine where I can try it at the moment. Are you stuck somewhere? If you could post where you are so far, I or someone else can walk through it with you.
Yes, sorry, I forgot to update the instructions to compile from source on the download page, since the 3.4.1 release. This is now fixed (just replace 3.4.0 to 3.4.1 everywhere).
The instructions should be working for any version of Ubuntu.
Indeed compiling worked like a charm now, thank you very much.
After compiling I did not know what really to do, so I did copy the gmic_gimp_qt from: /home/patrice/gmic-3.4.1/gmic-qt
to /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins
and everything seems to work as in GIMP it shows G’MIC version 3.4.1
I have one more question, I have G’MIC as a stand alone (still version 3.4.0 as it was installed by the .deb package), how do I change it to 3.4.1 or where do I take the compiled file and where I need to put it?
(when compiling I did “make all”, so I suppose the file to move is somewhere in /home/patrice/gmic-3.4.1/)
EDIT: Never mind I did found out, it’s the file “gmic_qt” just beside “gmic_gimp_qt” in the compiled directory to put in usr/bin/
Mainly bugfixes and improvement of the native preview splitter (particularly with new shortcut CTRL+ALT+P that enables/disables preview splitter).
Enjoy!
I suppose it’s a Desktop Environment thing (I’m using the MATE Desktop), because for me it’s Ctrl+Shift+P
Thank very much for the deb package, it works like a charm, it’s so kind of you
I don’t know if they are other people using a 4-yo *buntu 20.04, but if I’m the only one to download on https://gmic.eu for this Ubuntu version, now that I “know” how to compile the source (instruction are so easy as they are just a copy/paste in the terminal ), you don’t have to worry to make a deb just for me (I truly very much appreciate your kindness).
In all case thank you very much for everything, and please have an absolute fantastic day
