Creating scripts using Perl

[xaviermasr]

Hi all,

I am just getting myself into the writing of scripts and, as I use Perl
normally, would like to use it for that purpose.

I'm using GIMP on Linux (Mandriva) and have Perl already installed in my
system.

Thanks to all.

Hi -
there are Perl bindings to scripting GIMP.

In Mandriva, just type "urpmi gimp-perl" as root , and look
at  /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins for the examples that get installed.
(they get mixed with the binary plug-ins already there -
unfortunattelly the files don't use a .pl extension)

Thank you js. Is there any tutorial on how to write Perl scripts for GIMP?

Cheers,

Being useful seems to be a long-term habit for
Joao. I don't think that it's just because
he's Brasiliano, either. (-:

Being weird seems to be a habit for me: I'd
like to script GIMP in Ruby instead.

Cheers; Leon

That is also an option!
Just cehck the apropriate package (probably named gimp-ruby) from your
distro - or download it from gnome repositories. :-)

Mandriva 2008.0 on this laptop, about to be
2008.1 AKA "spring."

Has perl-Gimp & gimp-python but nothing to
do with Ruby on GIMP (but there are plugins
ruby-rbogl, ruby-gtk2, ruby-game, ruby-mysql,
ruby-RMagick about). Will see if 2008.1 has
anything extra.

Cheers; Leon

Hi Leon -
most likely you willhave to build the bidings from source.
(I am assuming you have configured a mandriva "contrib"  rpm repositoy
using easy-urpmi as well, and than that there is no gimp-ruby
available there)

Try installing the packages gimp-devel and ruby-devel, downlaod
gimp-ruby source (for example with:
svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gimp-ruby/trunk gimp-ruby

and see if you get it working from there.

Regards,

Err... first urpmi subversion (is on CD3 of
2008.0 install set).

"Checked out revision 81."

Hmmm, says I must have Gimp 2.3 installed, but...

$ rpm -q gimp
gimp-2.4.0-0.rc2.3mdv2008.0

# autogen.sh
(whinge about intltool)
# urpmi intltool
installing intltool-0.36.2-1mdv2008.0.noarch.rpm
# autogen.sh
(much scribble)
# make
(much more scribble)
# make install
(page-full of scribble)
#

> and see if you get it working from there.

Oh, good, I have a new Ruby-fu menu under Xtns,
from which at least "Sphere" seems to work. (-:

Thanks, Joao!

Cheers; Leon
