how to install resynthesizer in gimp 2.10 on linux

[cfdqwruivz]

hi folks,

this is a little guide on how to install resynthesizer plugin in gimp 2.10 on debian linux. resynthesizer provides handy plugins like 'heal selection'. this tutorial was tested on debian linux, but it may work on other distributions as well. i wrote this guide bc other tutorials i found didn't work for me.

anyway, here's my tutorial:

step 0: make sure the package 'gimp-plugin-registry' is NOT installed on your system. afaik it's only crap in there anyway.

step 1: install package 'gimp-python' from the latest debian version pool. for me it was:

Code:

1. add 'buster' release pool to /etc/apt/sources.list
    (e.g. 'deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main non-free contrib')
2. sudo apt update
3. sudo apt install gimp-python/buster

step 1.1: make sure you have the following packages installed, or else the compilation (next step) will fail:

• automake
  
• libglib2.0-dev
  
• libgimp2.0-dev
  
• intltool
  

step 2: git clone https://github.com/bootchk/resynthesizer to somewhere you wan't to have it. then cd into it and run the following to compile the plugin scripts:

Code:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install

make sure you have the following packages installed, or else the compilation will fail:


step 3: open up gimp and see if it worked. open gimp from the command line to catch possible errors.
note: maybe you have to add /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins to your plugin folders list in the gimp preferences.

i hope this is useful. don't hesitate to contact me if you have any problems or questions
