The problem is Mac, it is a
The problem is Mac,
it is a commercial OS as windows but since it has much less users it has much less developers interested in working for free
And even less interested to compile third party plugin for Gimp...
Because there is nothing wrong in the instrution to install, the problem is that nobody compiled a mac binary to install
Sure the process should be similar at that used for Linux..but the knowledge that "should be similar" it is no sufficent, without also know the exact differences....and they change at every Mac version
And.here most use mainly Linux, a few also Windows, almost none Mac
you may try to Google for "wilber love apple" or "lisanet"..if somebody may help is there
Installing save-for-web plug-in....
I'd like to try this plugin but I'm having trouble with the install...here's what I've done so far:
- downloaded GIMP 2.6.8 p2 for Snow Leopard (10.6.3) from the "GIMP on OS X" website, copied files to Applications folder on Mac HD.
- installed X11 (2.3.4) from Snow Leopard Install CD, also installed Xcode Developer Tools.
- downloaded "gimp-save-for-web-0.29.0.tar.bz2", extracted the "gimp-save-for-web-0.29.0" folder in the GIMP "plug-ins" folder (~/Lu/Library/Application Support/Gimp/plug-ins).
- following the README instructions I opened Terminal, "cd" to the "gimp-save-for-web-0.29.0" folder, and type "./configure" in the command line....I get the following error message: "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH".
Any detailed suggestions to assist with my install efforts would be greatly appreciated...thanks!!
