Pinta

[timatou]

Hi Salix team!

Today I would like to request for the drawing/editing program Pinta. I'ts a fork of Paint.net (a windows program) write in GTK.
This soft is simpler than TheGimp but also more powerful and "userfriendly" than mtpaint the defaut painting soft.
Pinta home page: http://pinta-project.com/
The source code: http://github.com/jpobst/Pinta

Thanks

I tried building it, but it requires mono which is not installed on my machine nor is it available in the Salix repos
Sorry

Too bad

Thanks for the try

mono seems to be available on both slacky.eu and slackbuilds.org.
Are there any strange compiler errors?

Strange errors, no, just build dependencies xbuild and mono

Microsoft Build (msbuild) is a build system developed by Microsoft similar in spirit to Nant (in that it uses XML files for describing the build process) and in the same spirit as make.

Projects created in Visual Studio 2005 (except VC++2005) are saved in MSBuild format.

xbuild is Mono's implementation of msbuild and it allows projects that have an msbuild file to be compiled natively on Linux. xbuild has been part of the standard Mono distribution for some time now, but it is not 100% complete yet.

lol?

I don't really understand :s
What is the prob?
We need mono and xbuild to compile the program?

We need mono and xbuild to compile the program?

Yes. It seems so. But nobody wants to build both of them.
It is some kind of porting M$ logic to Linux, you know.
And this for only providing a "simple" painting application, but there are so weird dependencies.
So, I am out of this, and maybe others too.
This is no trolling.

I may give a try at building mono over the weekend if I can find some time.

I understand, it's maybe a simple painting software, but I never found any equivalent. No one to fork this fork without mono and any strange dependencies?

laprjns Thanks for your efforts ^^
