[Gimp-developer] Errors on Mac setup attempt for GIMP development

Sun Mar 29 15:39:22 PDT 2009

Hi,

macports is known to fail frequently. Possible solutions when you meet 
macports errors include :
* Get support from the macports team; each time i went on their IRC 
channel i got good and fast help
* Build components manually - longer and annoying but at least you can 
control what's happening

I might just add that GIMP on mac is a dependency hell, so if you're not 
used to installing stuff GIMP
might be a steep start =)

Guud luck
