THIS IS NOT UPSTREAM ANYMORE!
**NEW repository: https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint-brushes **
Brushes used by MyPaint and other software using libmypaint.
This data package is versionned. This are the brushes to be used by libmypaint 2.x, current development version which has no releases to the day of writing. If you want brushes for the libmypaint 1.x releases, do not install mypaint-brushes from master, but from "v1.3.x" branch (or last release tagged with a "v1.x" version).
mypaint-brushes package can be installed as a typical autotools build:
./configure --prefix=/some/prefix && make && make install
See also INSTALL file.
There are also historical scons scripts, but they work only with scons 2.x (and in particular not newer scons 3, based on Python 3):
scons prefix=/your/application/install/prefix # Normal build
scons -h # Show build options
If your application needs libmypaint 2.x brushes, you can make the module "mypaint-brushes-2.0" a dependency with pkg-config.
For a C/C++ program, the CFlags generated by pkg-config will define the macro MYPAINT_BRUSHES_DIR, usable in your code in order to get the path for all mypaint default brushes.
For programs in other languages, you can use the variable brushesdir
to get the same information with pkg-config and insert this value in
your program in the relevant way.
pkg-config --variable=brushesdir mypaint-brushes-2.0
