Azpainter - why it isn't in Slitaz repositories

Hello. I've discovered a very light and powerfull Graphical application, named "Azpainter". It's a clone of old Photoshop versions (10 year old ;-) ). I've compiled it flawously under Slitaz 5.0, and it's a perfect bridge between MtPaint and Gimp.

I'm using the 2.04 version.

Re: Azpainter - why it isn't in Slitaz repositories

Yes - Ive wondered why it wasn't included too.  It is a very light weight and yet capable graphics application that had a good review in the latest Linux Format magazine.

Im still learning Slitaz ..so not yet at a stage where I can compile apps for Slitaz (still learning how to make a working CD)…but when I do that will be the first one Id try.

If in the meantime if it is added to the graphic applications Id be very pleased.

Re: Azpainter - why it isn't in Slitaz repositories

Its very, very easy to compile :

1/ get the Slitaz tool chain (with the package manager)

2/ get the Slitaz 'dev' package

3/ of course Azpainter2 source ;-)

4/ Untar Azâinter2 source

5/ enter its directory

6/ open a terminal

7/ type ./configure

8/ add the missing dependencies with Slitaz package manager

8/ ./configure again

9/ type 'make"

10/ type sudo make install

11/ Enjoy !

Ta Kevlar - I must give that a go.

must check out Azpainter 1 too…in some accounts they make reference to the gif making in azpainter1.  Not sure if that is an option in azpainter 2 or not..

Re: Azpainter - why it isn't in Slitaz repositories

Very cool news !

For Gif, may be MtPaint should be a better choice, when I've developped some apps for Gtk system, I used Mtpaint to draw or fine tune my icons ...

Or, as usual, Imagemagick in order to get a "final" GIF.
