This isn't an issue so much as a feature request - would it be possible to include instructions in the INSTALL file for compiling this plugin for Gimp on Linux (e.g. Ubuntu 12.04)? From the screenshots it seems to be possible to run it on some KDE distro! Thanks - was not sure how else to contact the developer

Ubuntu distributes this plugin via it's own package repository. You can compile the plugin by issuing the command "apt-get build-dep gimp-dds" as root, and then simply type "make" in the source code directory. Or type "make install" to build and install the plugin to your user's GIMP plugins directory.
