There is no scp or sftp on a standard installation of a Synology NAS. As these two softs are very useful, here’s how to install them.

First, install zlib and openssl :

When installing scp and sftp, be carefull. There is a specific version of ssh installed on Synology NAS. That’s why you must not install openssh with ipkg.

Create a temporary repertory :

Download the openssh packet (without installing it!) :

Extract the files contained in the openssh packet :

Copy scp and sftp in /bin :

Rename openssh-scp :

Create this symbolic link (it was necessary for me) :

Delete your temporary directory :

You’re done!

The development of a software like Gimp is done during long years, and by many peoples. To let you see this work, I made a video of the modification done on the code repository for 14 years.

A quick note however, the first 2 years of hacking is not on the video since the related logs are not available on git.

This video was made using Gource, pretty cool software =)

Clang, which use LLVM infrastructure, is a compiler for the C language family. His goal is to offer a moder alternative to GCC. With Clang come a pretty cool static analyser. Here is how to use it for Gimp.

A small disclaimer before, I shamefully copied and adapted the procedure given by Campbell Barton, form the Blender team. (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Ideasman42/BlenderClang).

Step 1: compile LLVM/Clang

I first tried the LLVM provided by ArchLinux, but the compilation ended with a fatal error. It goes flawlessly with the development version. To fetch it, Campbell Barton’s script works well.

Step 2: configure Gimp’s compilation

First, we need to add  LLVM’s binary to the PATH:

The only difference with a classic GCC compilation, is that we explicitly ask to use Clang’s compiler:

Step 3: compile

If you just want to compile, the procedure doesn’t change.

If you want to run a static analyse, you have to use scan-build:

Just be aware that a static analyse will take a lot of time (3h40 with my Core 2 Duo E4500).

Etape 4: profit !

The static analyzer of Clang will probably find a lot of bug in the code. Yes, there is false positive, but it’s globally remarkably well done ! You can find here the result of the analyse of master i did today: http://pellelatarte.fr/dawa/gimp-llvm/

Hi,

A quick post to let you know that i started a refactoring of the Gimp cage tool. It’s a mandatory step to achieve a good quality and a solid basis to implement new things. It happens here by rewriting the frontend code as a state machine (as described here a few days ago), change on the data structure, documentation, and a lot of small fixes and simplifications.

In the future, a multi-points selection should come in a few days in the soc-2010-cage-2 branch. This editing mode will work in a similar way as in the path tool.

A proportional editing mode, similar to what you can find in Blender should come too.

Maybe i’ll start to getting satisfied of my work someday… =)
