There is a Windows version, works very well 

For linux... depends on your distro If you have a linux where Gimp 3 installs and that also gives packages such as;

libgimp-3.0-bin Development binaries for the GIMP library
libgimp-3.0-dev Headers and other files for compiling plugins for GIMP

Then it is not difficult to compile. Not perfect but works.

at the moment all I have is ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 from PPA;s or Debian testing but not others like Fedora

If you are using say a flatpak or the gimp.org appimage you will be out of luck at the moment

Which version of linux are you using ?

Using Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon the instructions here:

https://discuss.pixls.us/t/resynthesizer...sion/48899

seemed to work for me. I say 'seemed to work' because I have never used Resynthesizer so wasn't sure what to expect. 

The page here:

https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer...s-for-GIMP

lists the various components but I don't see most of them. I do get Enhance-Heal Selection... and Enhance-Heal Transparency... but I don't, for example, see Enhance-Uncrop..., Enhance- Sharpen by Synthesis etc.

That is a good guide, worth a bookmark.

The resynthesizer plugin goes back to Gimp 2.6 days and is used to generate seamless pattern tiles. There is an element of randomness built into it and it is try-and-see-what-results.

The add-on plugins, originally python 2.7 for Gimp 2.8 / Gimp 2.10 came along later. The script-fu plugin versions for Gimp 3.0 are in the resynthesizer3 branch https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer...terPlugins if you want to try them out.
I think they are largely redundant these days, There are better ways to enlarge /sharpen / fill . I just include the two "heal" plugins.

A very quick 60 second demo for anyone interested. https://i.imgur.com/yrWenRu.mp4

This using the Gimp 3.0.2 appimage from the Alternate Packaging section. Resynth is included in the appimage.
