   15 Building a plugin for Windows
   16 =======================================

   18 To build a plugin for the Windows version of GIMP, you'll need to use a
   19 MinGW environment (http://www.mingw.org) and install the development
   20 and runtime packages for the following libraries:
   21 
   22    1) GIMP 2.4.x
   23    2) glib2
   24    3) gtk+2
   25    4) pango
   26    5) atk
   27    6) pkg-config
   28    7) gtkglext
   29    8) GLEW

   33 Installation
   34 =======================================
   35 
   36 1. Type 'make' to build the plugin
   37 2. Type 'make install' to install the plugin. By default the plugin will be
   38 installed in your GIMP user plugin directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.2/plug-ins).  If
   39 you want to install the plugin system-wide, as root you must manually copy the
   40 plugin to the system GIMP plugin directory.
