pkgname=pixel
pkgver=1.0.560
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Pixel image editor"
arch=(i686)
url="http://www.kanzelsberger.com"
license=('custom')
depends=('freetype2' 'libpng' 'sdl' 'lcms')
source=(http://www.kanzelsberger.com/binary/pixeldemo-$pkgver-linux.nosetup.i386.tar.bz2)
md5sums=(generate with makepkg -g)

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/Pixel
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/opt/pixel
  cp -R * $startdir/pkg/opt/pixel
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/bin
  echo -e "#!/bin/bash\n/opt/pixel/pixel" > $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/pixel
  chmod 755 $startdir/pkg/usr/bin/pixel
}

You could install it to /usr/share/pixel instead of /opt/pixel, but I didn't like the license =]
optionally install sane (scanner), cups (printing), openexr (OpenEXR), libjasper (JPEG2000) for respective support.

thanks. that should help me immensely. really want to try this. i WILL pay for software if i find it to be really good. heh. will build it tonight after work!

Well my first impression was that it was made incredibly well. I'll give it that. I unpacked the source, changed directory and ran the program and it ran without a single fuss. That there is superior programming.
Program-wise, it looks almost exactly like Paint .NET. Didn't try to paint anything so I can't comment on the functionality =]

that is a very very slick program. seems very well built. i will have to play with it quite a bit and possibly (ugh) buy it at the demo price
still cheaper than photoshop (but more expensive than the gimp)
