Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The gimp port is for gimp-0.54.1 which requires motif to compile. The gimp-devel port is for gimp-0.99.x. This is a pre-release for version 1.0 of the gimp which is *significantly* different from 0.54.1. The development port does not require motif and at present is at gimp-0.99.10. This pretty much compiles out of the box from the original tarball. If you want more info on the differences between the two versions, you should have a look at http://www.xcf.berkeley.edu/~gimp/ cheers, Carey Nairn At 12:16 20/07/97 -0400, Stan Brown wrote: > In looking in the ports-2.2.2 direcotry I find both a gimp and a > gimp-devel port.
