Alas not for us 'buntu / Mint 19 users PPA Gimp 2.10.14 compile failed.



Dare say it will get there eventually, was a couple of weeks for (bionic) Gimp 2.10.12

One bug reported fixed is still open (#3532)

Very cool normal map filter that works in high bit depth. It has been a real pain dealing with the old normal map filter and the insane bump filters. Also seems like I have to check the Y flip option to make it work for Blender

The updated Gimp 2.10.14 packages are now there in the 'buntu PPA https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasc...buntu/gimp

There is a problem with the python support package, if you are in no hurry to upgrade, stay with Gimp 2.10.12

   

I am sure this will be fixed eventually. If you are really keen to use Gimp 2.10.14 then this procedure

Update the repo list 

Code:

sudo apt update

Remove existing gimp-python

Code:

sudo apt --purge remove gimp-python

Install (update) Gimp and dependencies

Code:

sudo apt install gimp  libbabl-0.1-0 libgegl-0.4-0

Force the gimp-python installation

Code:

Thanks Rich  for the info.
Ran into the same issue and was wondering where the fault is.
Good to know it's not only me.

Cheers

I emailed Thorsten Stettin about the error and just got this:

quote Oops, sorry, I will fix this issue in the next hours, I hope.

edit:
Checked and the problem has been fixed. Updated Gimp 2.10.14 packages are there.
