WARNING If you have an old version of my GEGL Effects Layer Effects plugin before May 2023 this will break GEGL Effects, once this plugin is installed. Check to make sure the version of GEGL Effects you are using was released May 2023 or onward. If not update here to the latest version. https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Effects---Layer-Effects-in-Gimp-using-GEGL/releases

To confirm test if GEGL Effects is working after the update, install Gold Text binaries and then see if “inner glow and or bevel” in GEGL Effects still work. If they are not, the update in the link above will fix GEGL Effects.

Compiling and Installing

Linux

To compile and install you will need the GEGL header files (libgegl-dev on Debian based distributions or gegl on Arch Linux) and meson (meson on most distributions).

meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build

Windows

The easiest way to compile this project on Windows is by using msys2. Download and install it from here: https://www.msys2.org/

Open a msys2 terminal with C:\msys64\mingw64.exe. Run the following to install required build dependencies:

pacman --noconfirm -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-x86_64-meson mingw-w64-x86_64-gegl

Then build the same way you would on Linux:

meson setup --buildtype=release build
ninja -C build
