€75 may sound cheap to you, but for me it is quite a lot of money to spent om something i don't need to use if apps were better build (e.g. Not in my country, a 50 GB disc kosts €75 Same probably counts for Qt-based apps, etc. Same goes for Ghostview, if you want to be able to open EPS-files, etc.Īnd since Microsoft does not include Ghostview and GTK with their Windows-distribution, you probably need an Internet connection to download Gimp's dependencies.ĭunno if macOS ships with GTK, but if not, you would even need to use an internet connection to be able to use gimp on macos. I'm not familliar wit MacOS, but i know that on Windows you would have the same problem.įor instance, if you install Gimp on Windows, you need to GTK as well, or Gimp won't work without this unresolved dependencie. >Absurd too especially when Apple, which is UNIX based, has no trouble with these issues. If you want to use an offline source, like a directory or cd, you should tell your Linux-distribution to do so. I guess you should have downloaded more packages before disconnecting from the internet.Īlso, dependencies are resolved according to your configuration.

Resolving dependencies via internet is only neccesary if you downloaded applications from internet that require additional packages that are not delivered with your distro. Must be a problem with your configuration. >That reminds me of the requirement that one must be online to have the most "stubborn" dependencies resolved! Go ahead and donate some decent looking TTF fonts.

Never tried those, but perhaps they can make your desktop decent enough :) Well, the bitstream TTF fonts are also available on the installation disks. >That means that I must be online to have a decent looking desktop?
