version of The GIMP.
Since the plug-in API of GIMP 2.2 will be compatible with GIMP 2.0,
2.2 is supposed to install itself into the gimp-2.0 directories. It is
thus not possible to install this development version into the same
prefix with GIMP 2.0. A number of files will clash, so PLEASE USE A
SEPARATE PREFIX to install this development version!!

The most important part is to make sure the requirements for a build
are fulfilled. We depend on a number of tools and libraries which are
listed below. For libraries this means you need to also have the
header files installed.

1. You need to have installed a recent version of pkg-config available
from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/.
2. You need to have installed GTK+ version 2.4.1 or better. Do not
try to use an older GTK+ version (1.2.x), it will not work.
GTK+-2.2 itself needs recent versions of GLib, Pango and ATK.
GTK+ itself needs recent versions of GLib, Pango and ATK.
