Hi everyone. Maybe, some people what compile this interesting program.
1. Install Numpy.
2. Install Scons.
3. Rebuild pygtk with Numpy support.
4. Update swig. In 1.3.38 version error when starting program.
5. Compile from source mypaint-1.0.0.
6 ....
7 Profit.

p.s. depfinder can`t find correct dependencies. Scons and swig added manually.
p.p.s Not tested correct path to icons for mypaint.desktop.

depfinder can`t find correct dependencies. Scons and swig added manually.

Yes, it can. Scons and swig are usually build time deps. I'm fairly sure the package runs without. Anyway if packaging and using depfinder you should know it's limitation. It's technically impossible to detect all sorts of dependencies, so it's possible depfinder misses some. But it does a good job. Additionally you should have a look at runtime vs buildtime dependencies. In Slackware it's not common practice to list those (you can add a comment somewhere in the beginning of the SLKBUILD if you want) but e.g. Arch PKBUILDs and many other build systems do.

Anyway, thanks for your contribution.

Good morning. Thanks a lot for explanation. Add comments in mypaint slkbuild about dependencies. I knew what mypaint package run without scons and swig, but wrote in depfinder for successful compiling. If someone found errors in slkbuilds, wrote here. Check hicolor icons, correct or not add in desktop environment.

p.s. Sorry for my weak knowledge english. I understand well, but i don't remember grammar, becouse few use in my life.

This is a cool application! Thanks for sharing!

Can I expect that somebody from maintainers or developers shall make packages and add to the repository?

[Shador]

Do it yourself. There are instructions in the wiki and there are too few maintainers to maintain every possible program out there properly. So every contribution is welcome. It's usually better anyway if somebody actually using a package is maintaining it.
Here you go:

You're package would of course be thoroughly reviewed. The most striking problem are the rebuild of pygtk and the upgrade of swig. Is it possible to circumvent the rebuild somehow? Maybe by installing the numpy package? I also don't think it's possible to upgrade swig. Quite a big version leap. But that might not necessarily be needed as it's just a build-time dep.
With the next version of Salix it should be no problem to upgrade swig of course. But as pygtk is a Slackware package that makes that one somewhat more difficult.

[gapan]

Yes, rebuilding pygtk is a major problem. It simply isn't an option.

[coroner]

Slkbuild for mypaint wrote just for practice. I do not use this program, but always dreamed learn how to draw well. Maybe in the near future I will try this program.

Maybe by installing the numpy package? I

Without numpy compilation is not possible, and will not work too.

I also don't think it's possible to upgrade swig. Quite a big version leap.

Since swig version 1.3.39 work well, checked 1.3.39 and 1.3.40. First time used last stable version 2.0.4.

Use swig 1.3.39, Mypaint package rebuild with standard version pygtk from slackware.

Maybe in the next release Patrick and co will make pygtk with the required dependencies.

p.s. I ready maintain Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (tiles version). If someone will request this game.

I wouldn't count on it.
