Installation instructions incomplete #69

Open chrisspen opened 4 years ago

Neither the instructions to install the archive into the ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins directory nor the instructions to install the gimp-plugin-registry package work on Ubuntu 18. The former appears to have no effect. The later does install numerous plugins, but not Resynthesizer.

I tried upgrading to GIMP 2.10. Now I'm seeing the menu item Filters->Map->Resynthesize. However, running it produces the error "Calling error for procedure 'plug-in-resynthesizer': Procedure 'plug-in-resynthesizer' not found"

Which version of Gimp did you initially try on?

Which version of 2.10 did you then install? For example, 2.10.14? May be related to issue #70.

It is not clear (to me at least) what you mean by "install the archive?" Did you download an archive (.tar.gz) of this repository and build it yourself by the instructions that finish with "make" and "sudo make install." ? That has been working. Not saying it isn't broke again.

But there have been reports of installed packages (built by someone else, installed with a package manager) that did not work because they were built for 32-bit and Gimp was built for 64-bit. Not saying that is the cause of your issue, until you convey the details of your case.
