1mypaint-brushes - MyPaint brushes
2=================================
3
4Brushes used by MyPaint and other software using libmypaint.
5
6This data package is versionned. This are the brushes to be used by
7libmypaint 2.x, current development version which has no releases to the
8day of writing.
9If you want brushes for the libmypaint 1.x releases, do not install
10mypaint-brushes from master, but from "v1.3.x" branch (or last release
11tagged with a "v1.x" version).
12
13Building
14---------
15
16mypaint-brushes package can be installed as a typical autotools build:
17
18> ./autogen.sh
19
20> ./configure && make && make install
21
22
23There are also historical scons scripts, but they work only with scons
242.x (and in particular not newer scons 3, based on Python 3):
25
26> scons prefix=/your/application/install/prefix # Normal build
27
28> scons -h # Show build options
29
30Using the brushes with pkg-config
31---------------------------------
32
33If your application needs libmypaint 2.x brushes, you can make the
34module "mypaint-brushes-2.0" a dependency with pkg-config.
35
36For a C/C++ program, the CFlags generated by pkg-config will define the
37macro MYPAINT_BRUSHES_DIR, usable in your code in order to get the path
38for all mypaint default brushes.
39
40For programs in other languages, you can use the variable `brushesdir`
41to get the same information with pkg-config and insert this value in
42your program in the relevant way.
43
44> pkg-config --variable=brushesdir mypaint-brushes-2.0
