I am trying to edit the GIMP source code directly in order to test algorithms. The problem that I am having is in setting up the compilation of the source code. On the GIMP website, it says to run the below in msys2.exe:
pacman -S base-devel \
mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain \
git \
mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2 \
mingw-w64-x86_64-json-glib \
mingw-w64-x86_64-json-c \
mingw-w64-x86_64-gexiv2 \
mingw-w64-x86_64-lcms2
the problem with this is that all the commands below pacman -S base-devel refuse to run. I have successfully completed all previous commands shown here. The only error I received was when running pacman -Su due to the packages being previously installed. How may I successfully install the above package list? In addition, if anyone else has done this before is there any advice you can give me?
Below is the result of running the above code
