Universal binary is difficult. if you want to help, i can give you a detail description, how to build it. then you can upload it on my server and i can fix it.

just send me an email at schroeder at nasendackel.de .

i’m off this evening, but i defiently will respond tomorrow

(Or, how easy is it to compile a universal binary?)

Christoph: Can the build process be automated (i.e. running a fully automated script)? And, do you need a PPC to do them or can you cross-compile?

I just wanted also to mention, that my build is exactly the same like gimp.app, because i’m using his build script. Thanks to Aaron

For our English friends, i’ve created a blog dealing only with gimp.

We still seek for people doing some ppc builds.

Sadly, that won’t work for me as I am on PPC (Powerbook G4 1.5GHZ). Oh, well. I guess I just wait.

Stuart: I had the same problem, starting two days ago! But I just updated the blog post, because I found a site with a current (community) build of Gimp available. This fixes the problem for me, and as a side effect, it’s the current stable version too.

I can’t even get Gimp to launch. It just sits there caching fonts and then it unexpectedly closes. I’ve updated X11 like you said above. Now, I’m not sure what to do next??
