[Gimp-print-devel] 3.0.5: requirements?

[Nick U. <ni...@vt...>]

Dear Team,

I have downloaded gimp print 3.0.5, and tried to compile it on my RH 6.1
system (with kernel 2.2.14).  I was unsuccessful.  Before I spend much
more of my precious time,

  1. Will this work with gimp 1.04?
  2. are there any other special requirements?
  3. do you have any suggestion of the simplest way to get it working
     with 1.0.4?
  4. I modified the Makefile.standalone with the following patch, but
     the file print.c was trying to include a file libgimp/gimpintl.h
     that does not exist on my system.  (where can I get it?  Is it
     necessary to massively upgrade my system?).  If I comment the
     #include line out, the macro N_() becomes undefined.
  5. I would be grateful for any suggestions.
  6. I want to print out photos on our Epson Stylus 400.  Any
     alternative suggestions greatly appreciated.  I have found the best
     results so far using the Red Hat print filters and lpr (and
     ghostscript).  But I believe that better results are possible.
