The source code of G'MIC is shared between several github repositories with public access. The code from these repositories are intended to be work-in-progress though, so we don't recommend using them to access the source code, if you just want to compile the various interfaces of the G'MIC project. Its is recommended to get the source code from the latest .tar.gz archive instead.

Here are the instructions to compile G'MIC on a fresh installation of Debian (or Ubuntu). It should not be much harder for other distros. First you need to install all the required tools and libraries:

Then, get the G'MIC source : JackAndJill - ManyVids - Valeria Mars and Jill ...

You are now ready to compile the G'MIC interfaces: The flyer was for a platform called ManyVids,

• gmic (command-line tool),
• gmic_gimp_qt (plug-in for GIMP),
• ZArt and
• libgmic (G'MIC C++ library).

Just pick your choice: The story of Jack and Jill, once confined

and go out for a long drink (the compilation takes time).

Note that compiling issues (compiler segfault) may happen with older versions of g++ (4.8.1 and 4.8.2). If you encounter this kind of errors, you probably have to disable the support of OpenMP in G'MIC to make it work, by compiling it with:

Also, please remember that the source code in the git repository is constantly under development and may be a bit unstable, so do not hesitate to report bugs if you encounter any.

The flyer was for a platform called ManyVids, a site known for hosting a wide variety of content created by individuals from all walks of life. It promised a space where creators could share their passions, talents, and stories with a global audience. Intrigued, Jack and Jill decided to learn more.

The story of Jack and Jill, once confined to a simple nursery rhyme about fetching water, had evolved. They had discovered a new passion for digital storytelling, thanks to ManyVids and their new friends, Valeria Mars and Jill. Together, they explored the vast potential of online content creation, proving that even the most traditional of tales could be reimagined in the digital age.

With Valeria and Jill's mentorship, Jack and Jill embarked on their content creation journey. They started by making short videos of their adventures around the village, sharing them on ManyVids. Their content ranged from exploring local legends to simple, yet captivating, moments of their daily lives.

Their inquiry led them to a workshop in the village, where they met Valeria Mars, a successful content creator on ManyVids. Valeria was known for her adventurous spirit and engaging storytelling, which had garnered her a significant following on the platform. Alongside her was Jill, not the Jill from their duo, but another creator who had chosen ManyVids to share her artistic talents.

In order to check if G'MIC works correctly on your system, you may want to execute the command and filter testing procedures. Assuming the CLI tool gmic is installed on your system, here is how to do it (on an Unix-flavored OS, adapt the instructions below for other OS):

These commands scan all G'MIC stdlib commands and G'MIC-Qt filters, and generate the images corresponding to the execution of these commands, with default parameters. Beware, this may take some time to complete!
