3. Compiling from source
Dependencies: 
              GTK2 >= 2.18
              GEGL >= 0.1
              libexiv2 (optional)

(Usage of intltool has been dropped for gettext)

By default it compiles with gegl 0.4, but setting configure to
'--with-gegl-xx' to either 0.1, 0.2 or 0.3, you can use another version.

Gegl 0.1 & 0.2 versions will be deprecated in an upcoming dibuja version.
If you still use these older version let me know.

Dibuja installs a few backported gegl plugins to wherever the gegl lib
is at, so specify with --libdir. Disable this with '--with-plugins=no'

If you do not want to use exiv2, disable with '--with-exiv2=no'
Remove any other versions of dibuja.
Then:

  ./configure --prefix=/yada/yada --libdir=/yada/yada 
  make
  make install
