Could someone having Motif compile gimp for FreeBSD. Now there is only linux a.out and ELF avalable for us FreeBSD users. http://www.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/~gimp/gimp.html I think gimp looks great!!! Funny that people in Berkeley build software to Linux and not even compile it for BSD Unix! Is BSD unix loosing it's "magic" even in Berkeley itself? Seppo PS. The GIMP's functionality includes: Support for 8, 15, 16, & 24 bit displays Ordered and Floyd-Steinberg Dithering for 8 bit RGB, Grayscale, & Indexed color modes Multiple views of same image to ease complex tasks Fast zooming and panning on images Full suite of selection tools - (rectangle, ellipse, freehand, fuzzy, bezier, intelligent) Transform tools - (rotate, scale, shear, flip) Crop, color picker, bucket-fill, blend, & text tools Paint tools - (paintbrush, airbrush, clone, blur, sharpen, convolve) Full set of brush masks and support for arbitrary brushes File format support - (jpg, tif, gif, png, xpm) Numerous effects filters - (blur, edge detect, pixelize, ...) Channel operations - (add, composite, blend, ...) A call to all programmers! A good deal of the GIMP's functionality is invested in external modules, called plug-ins. These independent programs are called from the GIMP to run as separate processes and carry out essential tasks such as loading and saving images, running effects filters, combining multiple images with channel operations, and communicating with other programs (such as scanning software, ray tracers, other image manipulation packages, etc). There are in fact so many things that we expect to accomplish with plug-ins, that we don't have a fraction of the time required to see them written. We expect that there are some really sharp folks out there with esoteric knowledge on such subjects as creating a realistic lens flare filter - something neither of us has the slightest idea about, but would love to see implemented. So, we're asking you, assuming you have interest in augmenting the GIMP's functionality, to get in touch with us about filters you'd like to write. One thing that will really help get things rolling will be the addition of a "plug-in writing" tutorial to our growing set of tutorial pages.
