GIMP Developer Site now have improved navigation!

Building GIMP documentation

To contribute to the documentation, you can also build the documentation website.

It uses docbook that requires some software, such as:

  • gettext
  • automake
  • docbook2odf
  • pngcrush
  • pngnq
  • docbook-xsl
  • docbook-utils
  • dblatex

Now, to build the documentation:

 git clone --depth=0 git@gitlab.gnome.org:GNOME/gimp-help.git
 cd gimp-help
 # Set this variable to your own language. It should correspond to a directory in the "po" source folder.
 export LINGUAS=en
 ./autogen.sh [--without-gimp ALL_LINGUAS="en"]
 make
 make pdf-local
