+ Compile and run:
-Debian users need: python-gtk2-dev python2.4-dev python-numeric python-scipy

+ Install:
-The license for this program is in the file COPYING.
+ # scons prefix=/usr/local install
+
+ Uninstall:
+
+ # scons prefix=/usr/local install --clean
+
+ Install (for packagers):
+
+ $ scons prefix=/usr --install-sandbox=path/to/sandbox
+
+ (NOTE: the sandbox location must be located under the
+ current working directory. The above installs the main
+ launch script as "./path/to/sandbox/usr/bin/mypaint".
+ Use a symlink if that's too limiting.)
+
+
+ Required: pygtk, python, swig, gtk, numpy, pycairo(>=1.4), libpng
+
+ Debian users can fetch these dependencies by running:
+
+ # apt-get install g++ python-dev libglib2.0-dev python-numpy \
+ swig scons gettext libpng12-dev
+
+ Recommended: a pressure sensitive input device (graphic tablet)
+
+
+ Take care to update the icon theme cache for your $prefix if you're
+ installing mypaint to a location which has one of these files already. If
+ you install new icons, any existing icon cache must be updated too,
+ otherwise MyPaint won't be able to find its icons even if it looks in the
+ right place. For example for an install into /usr (which has one on most
+ systems), you should run
+
+ $ gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/hicolor
+ $ chmod a+r /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache
+
+ after installation to ensure that the cache is up to date. Scons won't
+ do this for you because the cache file is optional.
+
+ If you install to /usr/local, you may need to run this instead:
+
+ $ gtk-update-icon-cache --ignore-theme-index /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor
+
+
+Building on Windows:
+
+ NOTE: This is still very experimental.
+ If you'd much rather simply have a semi-recent pre-build version of MyPaint for Windows,
+ downloads should be available on the website.
+
+ NOTE: This page might contain more up to date instructions:
+ http://opensourcepack.blogspot.com/2009/08/building-mypaint-in-windows.html
+
+ To build on a Windows platform there are a handful of things you need to setup before building.
+ As the very first step you should make sure you have the following things installed correctly on your system:
+
+ Tools:
+ SCons
+ MinGW (or the like)
+ Python 2.5 (or possibly above)
+ SWIG
+ pkg-config
+
+ Libs:
+ GTK+
+ (And for Python:)
+ PyGTK
+ PyGObject
+ PyCairo
+ PIL
+ Numpy
+ Numeric ( This is the predecessor to Numpy, and dependency might depend on your choice of other libs - you might actually not need it )
+
+ When everything is installed you will most likely have to set the following Environmet Variables under Windows.
+ These will naturally need to reflect the way you installed the above mentioned tools and libs.
+ The variables and example values are given here:
+
+ PATH = "C:\MinGW\bin;C:\GTK\bin;C:\swig;C:\Python25;C:\Python25\Scripts;"
+ PYTHONPATH = "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages"
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH = "C:\Python25\Lib\pkgconfig"
+
+ ( The following is handy for debugging purpose, but should only be use when needed - NOT required ! )
+ PYTHONVERBOSE = "1"
+
+ Along the line you will most likely also have to make the missing ".pc" files for pkg-config.
+ These should be put in one of the locations specified in PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
+ Here you should have the following files:
+
+ numpy.pc
+ pycairo.pc
+ pygobject-2.0.pc
+ pygtk-2.0.pc
+ python25.pc
+
+ If they do not exist and are not found elsewhere in PKG_CONFIG_PATH, you have to write them yourself.
+ These files are rather simple, containing only a few lines.
+ If you're not able to create these yourself by trial'n'error, try Google some info on the format.
+
+ Fortunately once everything is set up building should be a smooth process.
+ Open the Command Prompt and simply follow these two steps:
+
+ "cd \mypaint-trunk\" To go the dir containing the downloaded source code.
+ "scons" Start up SCons and have it read the SConstruct script.
+ This is the where 'mypaint.dll' and 'mypaint.exe' (hopefully) are build.
+
+ Now the remaining problem is to boil it all down to a reasonable clean set of files.
+ At this stage you will have to experiment a lot - and again utilize your trial'n'error skills.
+ Some of the files you'll most likely need to find are:
+
+ ( in no particular order )
+
+ libglib-2.0-0.dll, libgobject-2.0-0.dll, libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll,
+ libgmodule-2.0-0.dll, libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll, libgthread-2.0-0.dll,
+ libcairo-2.dll, libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll, libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll,
+ libatk-1.0-0.dll, libgio-2.0-0.dll, libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll
+ libpng12-0.dll, libpango-1.0-0.dll,
+
+ zlib1.dll, jpeg62.dll, libtiff3.dll,
+ tk84.dll, tcl84.dll,
+
+ python25.dll, MSVCR71.dll, w9xpopen.exe,
+
+ numpy.core.umath.pyd, numpy.lib._compiled_base.pyd,
+ numpy.core.multiarray.pyd, numpy.core.scalarmath.pyd,
+ numpy.fft.fftpack_lite.pyd, numpy.core._sort.pyd,
+ numpy.random.mtrand.pyd, numpy.linalg.lapack_lite.pyd,
+
+ gtk._gtk.pyd, gobject._gobject.pyd, cairo._cairo.pyd
+
+ This stage is just insanity for you perfectinists out there. Noone will mind if you skip this step.
+ Likely MyPaint will run just fine, finding these files elsewhere on your system.
+ BUT! if it turns out it doesn't or if you need to run MyPaint on other systems than the one you build it on,
+ you'll still have to have these files in the directory you keep 'mypaint.exe'.
+
+ Good luck !
+
+ PS: If you give up along the way there should be semi-recent builds available on the website.
+ PPS: Much in line with all the shared libs metioned above,
+ the exe file is build to import two files 'python25.zip' and 'site-packages.zip'.
+ These files were ment to hold any addictional python scripts needed.
+ Examine the files from the recent Windows builds on the website for reference.
