Thanks to @pippin for the awesome work, as usual.

What then gets annoying is when, suddenly, someone decides configure; make; make install is no longer good enough and you have to work out how to use meson and ninja to build something that worked perfectly before!:*

Looking at you #babl (and soon #gegl), and then eventually #Gimp , apparently!:*

Oh and when I say #Gimp I actually mean the #babl; #gegl; and Gimp repos (;*

Been quiet on Mastodon recently. I mean personally, obviously. It has been anything but quiet, what with the recent discourse, in the Fediverse itself. I've just been lurking, while playing with #Digikam

In other news, sorted out my clones of #Gimp , #GEGL , and #BABL so they now pull from the #GNOME #Gitlab repos.

I've also been pre-booked to fetch the older great-nieces from school later in the year, to take the pressure off their mother who will be having a 'caesarian' on a certain day.

Wondering if installing #Mercurial yesterday was a mistake, I've now purged it, but I wonder if that messed up my git settings?

Though oddly neither my #Mastalab or #Gimp clones have been affected. So perhaps it was something that happened with #Gitlab since both #gegl & #babl are hosted there.

Well that was curious, just had to change the origins for my clones of the #gegl & #babl repos from git:// URLs to https:// URLs

I'd really like to be able to clone the #pangocairo repo locally and build it in the same way I do with #babl & #gegl

If anyone has any thoughts on GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION checks, which is what the autogen.sh fails on, I'd be interested to hear them (:*

Still, at least now I have #babl & #GEGL and #Gimp all up to date (actually, Gimp is rebuilding again now (;* ]

Ok, bit of messing about with where #GEGL & #BABL needed installing, but I now have two #Gimp builds...

Other than the colour scheme, which I'll sort out... they are almost identical:
