I have got around the wget/firewall issue by manually downloading
all of the prerequisites and saving them to the $TEMP folder. I
downloaded the exact versions in the script as well as the
absolute latest of each of them. Of course I downloaded the gimp
2.5 source not 2.3.
Bit of tweaking with the expat package, seems they've changed the
name of it so had to hack the script to suit.
I also had to download gegl which is required now. And it has a
prerequisite of babl.
babl compiled and installed ok, no errors.
gegl is failing now at the ./configure stage, can't find babl.
Seems the do***entation for all this stuff is lacking, probably
since it's all so new and developing.
I'll post results. But in the meantime, anyone got any ideas
about getting gegl to compile?
