I made a debian package for mtpaint -
fast yet powerful graphics editing program

mtpaint-wheezy-arm-3.44.94.deb

It works on a pi2 using Wheezy so it probably won't work on an original pi
It was compiled without tiff support because I didn't want to
put more libraries inside the package. It already has libpng16
and that is enough

Install the standard debian way

Code: Select all

dpkg -i mtpaint-wheezy-arm-3.44.94.deb

It's the most recent release. It supports scripts.
Examples of scripts can be found at

Enjoy

why wheezy?

Why Wheezy?

I put wheezy in the name because I only tested it on a Wheezy Raspian
using berryboot. I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking this is fully tested.

Thanks! What does this give over the version (3.40) in the Raspbian repos?

[don570]

Version 3.40 is excellent. As for the newest, the feature that excites me the most is
scripting. ... but you'll need to read through the Murga forum to pick up tips.
__________________________________________________

When you install with the debian installer app there is a check for both the
name (mtpaint) and the version number.

This version is obviously greater than 3.40 so it allows the
installation. There is a check for dependencies as well.

Tip: Check for dependencies with a simple command..

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/bin/mtpaint

Okay … but it's not exactly the most difficult build, and the Raspbian Wheezy binary you kindly supply won't (unfortunately) easily run on many users' systems.

This is roughly what I did to build the current version:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential git libgettextpo-dev liblcms-dev argyll libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpng-dev zlib1g-dev libgif-dev
git clone https://github.com/wjaguar/mtPaint.git
cd mtPaint
./configure intl
make -j4

This builds a multilingual, colour-managed version with PNG, GIF, TIFF and JPEG support. I've exclude JPEG-2000 support in these instructions.

Build time was under a minute on a Raspberry Pi 3.

[don570]

I believe that you can open jp2 files if you compile
with the libjasper-dev

I don't have internet access so I can't test.
_______________________________________

[scruss]

Yes, that's right. I deliberately left out JPEG-2000 support from the first build as it's likely to be very slow on a Raspberry Pi.

The full apt-get line to build all of the options is:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential git libgettextpo-dev liblcms-dev argyll libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpng-dev zlib1g-dev libgif-dev libjasper-dev
