Arch Linux User Repository

Not particulary a reason of this specific version macflav. The culprit is this change in the by Arch provided GIMP package. They removed the Python Plugin, as it still is python2.
Therefore no Heal Selection in GIMP. You need to install for example python2-gimp which is available from the AUR.

Try my ugly hack to workaround it. http://fenski.pl/gimp-resynth/PKGBUILG mkdir gimp-resynth; cd gimp-resynth wget http://fenski.pl/gimp-resynth/PKGBUILG makepkg -s sudo pacman -U gimp-resynth-1:20111211-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I tried to build the package using makepkg and got the following error: gcc -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wall -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu -o resynthesizer resynthesizer.o -pthread -lgimpui-2.0 -lgimpwidgets-2.0 -lgimpmodule-2.0 -lgimp-2.0 -lgimpmath-2.0 -lgimpconfig-2.0 -lgimpcolor-2.0 -lgimpbase-2.0 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 /usr/bin/ld: resynthesizer.o: undefined reference to symbol 'atan2@@GLIBC_2.2.5' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'atan2@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib/libm.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line /lib/libm.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [resynthesizer] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ewl/Desktop/resynth/src/resynthesizer-build/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ewl/Desktop/resynth/src/resynthesizer-build' make: *** [all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... It does recommend adding, I assume, /lib/libm.so.6 to the linker command line, but I'm not sure how to do that. I'd appreciate any help. I'm using the x86_64 version of Arch on an Acer Aspire 7741z laptop. Everything else seems to be working fine, and I have compiled other packages without any problems.

The gimp org registry page does not provide a proper link to the source. As for autogen.sh, it's distributed, so I consider it to take precedence over the configure script.

$url shall be set to http://registry.gimp.org/node/25219, and ./autogen.sh is not needed.

@t3ddy: I've added intltool, everything else is already implied (base-devel, glib2).

maybe you should add a few dependencies: I am testing that you have the required versions of autoconf, automake, glib-gettextize and intltoolize... checking for autoconf >= 2.54 ... yes (version 2.68) checking for automake >= 1.6 ... checking for glib-gettextize >= 2.0.0 ... yes (version 2.28.6) checking for intltool >= 0.17 ... You must have intltool installed to compile resynthesizer. Get the latest version from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/intltool/

update the plugin to version 1.0 please.

Ok, well the image i'm modifying is pretty large but I also have 4gb of ram. I will try reducing the size and see if it works then.thanks

From my experience, applying resynthesizer for large images may fail silently if you don't have enough ram. On my system I was unable to use it for 10MP pictures before I upgraded from 1 to 2GB of ram. Maybe try using it on a small image first. The plugin should add "Smart enlarge" and "Smart remove selection" to the Filters->Enhance menu and "Resynthesize" to Filters-Map. I've just rebuild and reinstalled the package on my system and everything works as it should. Note that there are two other gimp-resynth packages on AUR that include some patches from debian. This is the original, unmodified version. I have never had trouble with it, so I never tried the other packages. Maybe you have better luck with those. If you still have trouble with it, it may be better to ask on the forums, since it's apparently not a packaging problem.

I have installed this package and I can go to Filters>Map>Resynthesizer to get to the tool, but when I make a selection and use it nothing happens. Also, I don't have any of the scripts like Smart Remove Object in my Script-Fu menu. Did I do something wrong?
