#62518: port gimp2 fails at configure GIMP app on Catalina for GIMP 2.10.22,
upstream patch exists for gimp/configure.ac
----------------------+----------------------
Reporter: bootchk | Owner: devans@…
Type: defect | Status: assigned
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: autoconf | Port: gimp2
----------------------+----------------------
Using port gimp2 on Catalina, recent MacPorts install.
Symptom: during build of GIMP, while configuring, autoconf throws "invalid
syntax at 'fi)'. "
The GIMP configure.ac is not compatible with autoconf > 2.69. Apparently,
this port uses autoconf 2.70 or greater.
Upstream has patched already in the unstable 2.10 (2.10.23) so the port
gimp2-devel, which builds that version, does build.
It is possible that issues with autoconf will surface again, since others
have said the GIMP configure.ac lacks many quotes ( I think they mean
brackets) that give problems with newer autoconf.
If you must use this port, see gimp MR !357 which is the patch that
upstream has applied to versions after 2.10.22.
Very soon (?) gimp 2.10.24 will be released, so this specific issue will
go away if the port is updated to that version.
