gimptool-2.0 is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file.

gimptool-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with. gimptool-2.0 uses pkg-config for this task. For use in Makefiles, it is recommended that you use pkg-config directly instead of calling gimptool-2.0.

gimptool-2.0 accepts the following options:

–version

Print the currently installed version of GIMP on the standard output.

–help

Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline options.

–quiet

Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands.

–silent

Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as –quiet.

-n

Test mode. Print the commands but don’t actually execute them. Useful for making dry runs for testing.

–just-print

Test mode. Print the commands but don’t actually execute them. Same as -n.

–dry-run

Test mode. Print the commands but don’t actually execute them. Same as -n.

–recon

Test mode. Print the commands but don’t actually execute them. Same as -n.

–msvc-syntax

Useful on Windows. Outputs the compiler and linker flags in the syntax used by Microsoft’s toolchain. Passed to the pkg-config command that does most of gimptool-2.0’s work.

–bindir

Outputs the bindir used to install the GIMP.

–sbindir

Outputs the sbindir used to install the GIMP.

–libexecdir

Outputs the libexecdir used to install the GIMP.

–datadir

Outputs the datadir used to install the GIMP.

–sysconfdir

Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the GIMP.

–sharedstatedir

Outputs the sharedstatedir used to install the GIMP.

–localstatedir

Outputs the localstatedir used to install the GIMP.

–libdir

Outputs the libdir used to install the GIMP.

–infodir

Outputs the infodir used to install the GIMP.

–mandir

Outputs the mandir used to install the GIMP.

–includedir

Outputs the includedir used to install the GIMP.

–gimpdatadir

Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP data files were installed.

–gimpplugindir

Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP plug-ins were installed.

–build plug-in.c

Compile and link plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in.

–build-strip plug-in.c

Compile,link, and strip plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in.

–install plug-in.c

Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the user’s personal GIMP plug-in directory (*$XDG_CONFIG_HOME*/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins)

–install-strip plug-in.c

Compile, link,strip, and install plug-in.c into the user’s personal GIMP plug-in directory (*$XDG_CONFIG_HOME*/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins)

–install-admin plug-in.c

Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

–install-bin plug-in

Install plug-in into the user’s personal GIMP plug-in directory (*$XDG_CONFIG_HOME*/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins)

–install-admin-bin plug-in

Install plug-in into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

–install-bin-strip plug-in

Install stripped plug-in into the user’s personal GIMP plug-in directory (*$XDG_CONFIG_HOME*/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins)

–install-admin-bin-strip plug-in

Install stripped plug-in into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

–install-script script.scm

Install script.scm into the user’s personal GIMP script directory (*$XDG_CONFIG_HOME*/GIMP/2.10/scripts)

–install-admin-script script.scm

Install script.scm into the system-wide GIMP script directory (${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0/scripts)

–uninstall-bin plug-in

Uninstall plug-in from the user’s personal GIMP plug-in directory (*$XDG_CONFIG_HOME*/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins)

–uninstall-admin-bin plug-in

Uninstall plug-in from the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

–uninstall-script script.scm

Uninstall script.scm from the user’s personal GIMP script directory (*$XDG_CONFIG_HOME*/GIMP/2.10/scripts)

–uninstall-admin-script script.scm

Uninstall script.scm from the system-wide GIMP script directory (${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0/scripts)

–libs

Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in.

–libs-noui

Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in, for plug-ins that do not require the GTK+ libraries.

–cflags

Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GIMP plug-in.

–clags-noui

Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GIMP plug-in for plug-ins that do not require the GTK+ libraries.

–prefix=PREFIX

If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that GIMP was built with when computing the output for the –cflags and –libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if –exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any –libs or –cflags options.

–exec-prefix=PREFIX

If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that GIMP was built with when computing the output for the –cflags and –libs options. This option must be specified before any –libs or –cflags options.

CC

to get the name of the desired C compiler.

CFLAGS

to get the preferred flags to pass to the C compiler for plug-in building.

LDFLAGS

to get the preferred flags for passing to the linker.

LIBS

for passing extra libs that may be needed in the build process. For example, LIBS=-lintl .

PKG_CONFIG

to get the location of the pkg-config program that is used to determine details about your glib, pango, gtk+ and gimp installation.
