Boost-1.86.0, double-conversion-3.3.0, GC-8.2.8, gsl-2.8, Gtkmm-3.24.9, libsoup-2.74.3, libxslt-1.1.42, Poppler-24.09.0, and popt-1.19
ImageMagick-7.1.1-36 (runtime), Little CMS-2.16, libcanberra-0.30 (to eliminate plugin warnings), Potrace-1.16 (for the bucket-fill tool), also various Python modules at runtime for the core extensions: CacheControl-0.14.0, cssselect-1.2.0, lxml-5.3.0, NumPy-2.1.1, pySerial-3.5, and Scour-0.38.2
Aspell-0.60.8.1, dbus-1.14.10 (to run inkscape from scripts), Doxygen-1.12.0, gspell-1.14.0, GraphicsMagick, libcdr, libvisio, libwpg (or libwpd)
First, fix Inkscape to build with poppler-24.05.0:
patch -Np1 -i ../inkscape-1.3.2-upstream_fixes-2.patch
Next, fix a build failure caused by libxml2-2.12.0:
sed -i '/uri.h/a #include <libxml/xmlmemory.h>' src/object/uri.h
Install Inkscape by running the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ .. && make
This package may occasionally fail when building with multiple processors. See Using Multiple Processors for more information.
This package does not come with a working test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
This package installs icon files into the /usr/share/icons/hicolor
hierarchy and desktop
files into the /usr/share/applications
hierarchy. You can
improve system performance and memory usage by updating
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme
and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-3.24.43 installed
(for the icon cache) and desktop-file-utils-0.27 (for the
desktop cache) and issue the following commands as the
root
user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor && update-desktop-database -q
-D
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
: This switch is used to build
the release library without any debug `assert` in the code.
-D WITH_DBUS=ON
: use this if you wish
to use inkscape in
interactive scripts which manipulate images.
