Need Cinepaint, love Gentoo... please help

Hi,

I'm a Graphic Designer/Photographer and I've used Gentoo for about 3 years now and have never needed anything but the documentations, past posts, and lots of trial and error. But I've finally caved, can someone help me please? I've finally switched my master machine over to Gentoo and this is the only app missing

I NEED Cinepaint (not Krita or GIMP etc.) for specific features.

I've read all the Cinepaint posts, bug trackers, have noted in package.mask that the package is due for removal due to the endless problems, etc etc.

So, I know that it's a tough one, but has anyone had any luck installing this thing?

Yes, I've used this package successfully in the past (it didn't do what I wanted it to, but it did work perfectly

).

Since it's masked for removal, grab the ebuild now, pop it in your personal overlay, and add it to package.unmask.

This is probably a good package to try to get into one or more gentoo overlays as well.

Page, http://www.cinepaint.org/download.html has a link to:

"cvs-read.sh - Script for ordinary users to get CinePaint from CVS"

Because the latest release is useless, I'd try to compile it myself from CVS instead.

(Or write -9999 ebuild for it)

@ssuominen,
I am also interested in installing cinepaint.
The only thing I can find to download is a "diff" file.
That's of no use if you don't have the main source.
I guess flameeyes is right:it's dead.

cvs-read.sh ends with with "autogen.sh permission denied".
And "./configure no such file or directory".
I tried running it as root,same result.

Try running ldconfig.

It's too early to say it's running well,time will tell.

Hi Everyone,

Thank you, thank you and thank you for your help.

I've got Cinepaint running now!!!

Based on the above, and for the future reference of others, this is the series of steps that worked for me:

emerge -av cvs (if you haven't got cvs installed yet)
download cvs-read.sh (from http://www.cinepaint.org/download.html)
chmod +x cvs-read.sh (to make it executable)
./cvs-read.sh (it asked for a password, I just hit enter. this ends in an error, just continue to the next step)
cd cvs/cinepaint-project/cinepaint
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
(as root) make install
ldconfig

I'm so happy to get this working so thank you all again; it crashed the first few times when I tried to use Levels etc. but it's stablised itself for some reason.

PS

running cinepaint from terminal shows that it is a bit buggy but... these errors keep running in the background:

(cinepaint:22947): Gtk-WARNING **: A floating object was finalized. This means that someone
called g_object_unref() on an object that had only a floating
reference; the initial floating reference is not owned by anyone
and must be removed with g_object_ref_sink().

and

Error: Unable to set state for menu which doesn't exist:

hey,

doing

Mousee · x11-libs/fltk-1.1.10

First, look at the cinepaint-9999.ebuild file and see how it's building cinepaint with FLTK:
