Ubuntu - how do I update "gimptool-2.0"?
#3
A lot depends on where the Gimp 2.10 came from. Really need to know that. For 'buntu 18.04 (I have a (k)ubuntu 18.04 on a desktop PC) the default Gimp is 2.8.22 

That gives for Gimp 2.10 a choice: flatpak, snap or from ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp (do not use ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp-edge - the Gimp there is broken)

flatpak and snap are sandboxed and your repo packages will still be for Gimp 2.8 - no upgrades. If using the ppa then libgimp2.0-dev is there and up-gradable.

There is a demo video of compiling BIMP2 here: https://www.gimpusers.com/mailmsg.php?91...pusers.com It is in 'buntu 18.10 but should give some clues. Plenty warnings but no errors. I put the binary there as well.

Bimp has a dependency libpcre3 - do you have that package installed?  There is also a BIMP2 no-pcre3 patch as well.

EDIT: A look at what is current and that no-pcre3 patch has been incorporated along with a fix for a color-curve problem. From 7 days ago. In 'buntu 18.04 same as before - lots of warnings but compiles.

Apart from BIMP2 the previous BIMP1.18 will work. The 2 'versions' are attached. Try out one-at-a-time. Both work in my 'buntu 18.04 Gimp 2.10.8 flatpak (with libpcre3 added to the gnome runtime package) Maybe one works with your installation, but if possible do try a compile and do not worry too much about all those warnings.
