Photoshop Plugin

[Walter Gress]

Hi,

I was wondering if the photoshop plugin works for Photoshop CS6 for Mac. The readme gives instructions for Windows but I need to run it on Mac.

[Dominus]

It is a Windows Photoshop plugin and probably not even compatible anymore.

The Gimp plugin is much more powerful and can be used on OS X (you will need to compile on your own *AND* you will need to install Gimp via MacPorts).

[Walter Gress]

Where is the source for the GIMP plugin?

[Dominus]

mapedit/u7shp.c

[Walter Gress]

Ok. Where are the libraries located? I downloaded gtk and ran the script.

[Dominus]

You need to install Gimp via MacPorts because you need some tool (I forgot the nsme of) that you just point at the sourcefile and it will do the rest...

[Dominus]

looked it up again, when you have installed Gimp via Macports (sudo port install Gimp), run it once and close it, then open Terminal, change directories to the Exult source and then into the folder mapedit. There just execute:

Code: Select all

gimptool-2.0 --install u7shp.c

That should build and install the plugin. Then open up Gimp again and open a shp file (when asked for a palette, just cancel that dialog)

[Walter Gress]

Hmmm....followed your instructions and when building I'm getting this:

Nothing is ever easy. eh?

[Dominus]

See if it build it anyway (u7shp) and move it to ~/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.8/plug- ins

[Walter Gress]

No it didn't. Its not in /mapedit anyway

[Dominus]

ok, then this should do it:

Code: Select all

gimptool-2.0 --build u7shp.c
cp u7shp ~/Library/Application\ Support/Gimp/2.8/plug-ins/

But you have to use the Gimp you installed via MacPorts. It will not work nicely or at all with the pre-compiled versions of Gimp.

[Walter Gress]

Hmmm....my macports installation of GIMP doesn't have a plug-in directory!

I made one in the application bundle (for lack of a better word) and try the plug in there and it didn't work. I built GIMP from MacPorts and deleted my native version.

[Dominus]

Then make that folder.

[Walter Gress]

I did. It still doesn't work.

[Dominus]

Start gimp from terminal and see what it says about the plugin
