Hello Floyd, all this looks like a whole lot of trouble. I give up for the
time being until I hear of some SIMPLE way of getting an updated gimp.

It depends on your package management system, but getting a build
environment set up for GIMP can be as easy as

apt-get build-dep gimp

Alas, installing gimp on windows was a cinch!

Yes, because someone else has done all the work for you :)

The hardest (or at least most time-consuming) part of building GIMP on
Windows is to get your build environment set up.


HTH,
Michael
