Cannot compile on Ubuntu 21.04 (make error)

[hellocatfood]

I'm trying to compile this plugin on Ubuntu 21.04. Running autogen.sh goes well but when I run make I get this error

Diving into the make file it looks like it's trying to find babl.h in /usr/local/include/babl-0.1 when it's located in /usr/include/babl-0.1/babl

Thank you for the report! I will look into this.

The same for Debian. Details at https://bugs.debian.org/997101

I've made a few updates/changes/enhancements, can you try again? Note that you will need to install build dependencies first. On a Debian-based system, sudo apt build-dep gimp-texturize . It builds find for me on Ubuntu 21.10.

[hellocatfood]

I've run the build-dep command and have other dependencies install and still get exactly the same error, this time on Ubuntu 21.10

Thank you both for your report! I have modernized things a little bit, using "meson" to build instead of autotools. Could you give it a try? The new instructions on how to compile / install are in the README.md file. Thanks!
