Boost-1.72.0, GC-8.0.4, Gsl-2.6, Gtkmm-2.24.5 (or Gtkmm-3.24.2 and gnome docking library for the experimental gtk+-3 build), libxslt-1.1.34, Poppler-0.85.0, popt-1.16 and Wget-1.20.3 (to download the test dependencies)
ImageMagick-6.9.10-93 libraries, Little CMS-2.9 or Little CMS-1.19, libcanberra-0.30 (to eliminate plugin warnings), Potrace-1.16 (for the bucket-fill tool), lxml-4.5.0 and Scour-0.37 (both at runtime, for Save As Optimized SVG).
Aspell-0.60.8, dbus-1.12.16 (to run inkscape from scripts), Doxygen-1.8.17, libcdr, libvisio, libwpg (or libwpd) and NumPy (at runtime for some extensions)
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/inkscape
First, fix a problem introduced by Poppler-0.76.1.
sed -e 's|new Lexer(xref, obj)|obj|g' -i src/extension/internal/pdfinput/pdf-parser.cpp
Next, fix Inkscape to be able to build with poppler-0.82.0 and higher:
sed -e 's|Unicode \*u|Unicode const *u|g' -i src/extension/internal/pdfinput/*
Now fix Inkscape to build with poppler-0.83.0:
patch -Np1 -i ../inkscape-0.92.4-poppler_0_83_0_fixes-1.patch
Ensure that the libraries from ImageMagick-6.9.10-93 libraries can be used:
patch -Np1 -i ../inkscape-0.92.4-use_versioned_ImageMagick6-1.patch
Apply a patch to prevent out-of-bounds writes in the text and fill-bucket tools:
patch -Np1 -i ../inkscape-0.92.4-upstream_fixes-1.patch
If you wish to run the testsuite, download the required versions of googletest and googlemock by running:
bash download-gtest.sh
Install Inkscape by running the following commands:
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
.. &&
make
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install && rm -v /usr/lib/inkscape/lib*_LIB.a
![[Note]](../images/note.png)
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+-2.24.32 or
GTK+-3.24.13 installed (for the icon cache)
and desktop-file-utils-0.24 (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
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release:
This switch is used to build the release library without any debug
`assert` in the code.
rm -v /usr/lib/inkscape/lib*_LIB.a: The conversion of the package to use cmake has led to these libraries getting installed, but they are not usable (there are no header files to let a program know what they contain). So remove them.
-DWITH_DBUS=ON: use this if you wish to
use inkscape in
interactive scripts which manipulate images.
